@robertson1970.bsky.socialReposted by @mrowens212.bsky.social“Martin O’Neill, at time of writing, is still the main character but as time goes by he’s slowly morphing from loveable rebel into villainous defender of the cabal…..There will be no Bobby Ewing moment for Martin, it wasn’t a dream dude. Celtic really are that bad” - Gary Robertson #Celtic #Scotland
@mrowens212.bsky.socialI discovered Venom in 2006 via Killing Joke. A review of Hosannas... compared it to Venom (bit off) but it made me track down Welcome to Hell and Black Metal. Two astonishing records that blurred the lines between Iron Maiden and Discharge.
Lest we forget.

@mrowens212.bsky.socialMy thoughts on the new @shindigmagazine.bsky.social one off Kaleidoscope: The Effect of Psychedelia on the 80’s as well as the #Predominance column looking at new releases from
Godflesh and The Rezillos. Thanks to @anthonymcintyre.bsky.social for the platform.
@mrowens212.bsky.socialNot a bother. Always glad to introduce people to new music.

@mrowens212.bsky.social@mrowens212.bsky.socialI'd plump for Zola Jesus at the moment.
@mrowens212.bsky.socialYip. Found it in this thread.
@mrowens212.bsky.socialNot their finest moment, but 70's Heart kicks arse.

@robertson1970.bsky.socialReposted by @mrowens212.bsky.social🎶🎶 Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power
Just like lungs sucking on air
Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness🎶🎶 youtu.be/gavcjNniIvk?...
@mrowens212.bsky.socialMy thoughts on 'The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was Perfect'.
This is an entertaining and considered book that attempts to wrestle the ‘indie sleaze/landfill indie’ tags away from a scene that was derided for years. As ever thanks to @anthonymcintyre.bsky.social for the platform.

@folklorescotland.bsky.socialReposted by @mrowens212.bsky.socialThe 'White Lady of Strathaven Castle' wanders the castle grounds. In local legend, she was entombed within the walls and left to starve. Then, in the 19th century, part of the castle wall fell down and human bones were discovered within.
