The Scottish Enlightenment – ‘Little Sleep’ EP Reviewed
Oh ambassador, with these EPs you are really teasing us… JUST RELEASE THE DAMN ALBUM ALREADY! I like EPs. I don’t release many, because the bands I work with seem to be more into the idea of albums at the moment, but I like EPs. They are leaner, less prone to that period at about […]

You Have Been Watching…American Cousins
Watching Shane Meadow’s film Once Upon A Time in the Midlands the other night two thoughts struck me. The first is that Meadow’s is probably the most talented and diverse British film-maker of recent times (Dead Man’s Shoes and This is England being two of the best recent British movies) and could I justify claiming […]

Watch Czech Republic v Scotland Live with Expat Surfer
Once again, Scottish football fans in the US will be unable to watch an important international match on any American TV channel.

What We Miss: Memories from Euro 92
Two adult Scotsmen from Renfrew, on a pristine lawn, in the sunshine. One on his hands and knees being dry-humped, doggy-style, by the other.

Indelible Ink : Alasdair Gray’s ‘Lanark’
How do I begin to sum up Alasdair Gray? Writer of fiction and non-fiction, painter, illustrator, dramatist, poet, cultural and political commentator, and even, as part of the ‘Ballad of the Books’ project, songwriter. Most people would be happy to have mastered one of these things. Alasdair Gray is not most people. And ‘Lanark’ is […]
