  1. This is the best I've seen Cammy Kerr playing for a while. Don't think there is much doubt that this is his level but he's been good tonight.
  2. 10 years ago today Parquet Courts released the greatest indie rock album of the 21st century. It sounds as good today as it did then.
  3. A hard fought 3-1 win for Fed tonight over a vastly improved Downfield side who appear to have ditched their MMA tactics of old for actual football. Still this was a game that teetered on the edge and was one or two bad tackles away from kicking off completely. I entered the ground just as the game started to the sound of drums, an absolute no-no as far as I'm concerned at the fitba, but was pleased to see that it was just 6 or 7 mini Downfield ultras who had procured a traffic cone and a stick which they nonetheless proceeded to hammer with gusto for the next 90 minutes. I know things are bad down that end of town, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for their depravation. Maybe we'll donate the takings of the next half time draw so they can upgrade to at least whatever it is the funny little St. Johnstone neds have got. On second thoughts. So, a lovely late summer's night under the floodlights and a good win to keep us in touch with Carnoustie. Downfield were decent and will take points off some more fancied teams this season. We seem to have got rid of that soft underbelly that we have shown recently and I suppose it's up to the team to show that they can do this on a regular basis. Mental result up at Thomson Park.
  4. A good year for Animal Collective enthusiasts. "Time Skiffs" released in the first few weeks of the year remains one of the year's best and comfortably their best studio album since "Merriweather..." Now the 12th August sees the release of "Reset" by Panda Bear ably assisted by the legend that is Sonic Boom. There's only been two tracks released off it so far but both are fantastic, especially the mesmeric "Edge Of The Edge" which would easily find a home on the classic "Person Pitch" album. After the frankly dull "...Meets The Grim Reaper" and "Buoys", "Reset" is hinting at something more akin to the aforementioned "Person Pitch" or "Tomboy". One can only hope.
  5. And now Olivia Newton John. "Goodbye to Sandra Dee". Sad news
  6. Very comfortable win for Broughty today against a poor Forfar Utd. Had Skelly been playing it would have been double figures. Sadly for us, he looks like he might be out for another lengthy spell. Should be a good game v Kirrie this midweek up at their place. They have had a decent start to the season. Interesting to see our ex-manager Jamie McCunnie reffing today's game. Very easy game for him with no controversial moments whatsoever.
  7. The singer of some almighty good songs. "Georgy Girl", "I'll Never Find Another You" and "The Carnival Is Over" to name but three. Bad year for the Aussies. First Warney, now this.
  8. Ryan Adams is a bit of an arse. I met Whiskeytown after their gig at the Cathouse in 1998 and they couldn't have been nicer apart from Ryan who played the tortured soul for all he was worth, staring at the wall and running his hands through his hair in that annoying Ricky Ross manner. Anyway, you can't really argue with "Strangers Almanac", it's an absolute gem give or take a few bum steers. Never again did he come even half close to recreating it's greatness as a solo artist.
  9. The Sadies are a mighty fine band for the uninitiated. Sadly they lost one of their founding members and a shit kicking 12 string guitar player a couple of months back. So here is Dallas Good and the rest of the Good ol' boys on fine form with a diamond tune from their 13th album "Darker Circles". Alongside "DC", I'd highly recommend "Favourite Colours" and "Northern Passages" from their weighty back catalogue.
  10. "Is the Mercury prize an irrelevance now?" yes
  11. I was a fair distance away but I didn't have too many complaints regarding the penalty. Maybe it was just the disappointment. At that point of the game they were not even nearly worth a draw. Skelly is indeed injured. Losing a striker who hits 70 goals in the season is always going to be tough. Thankfully, he should be back for East Craigie on Saturday. Yer mates goal was an absolute screamer and came at a time when we were beginning to look quite comfortable.
  12. I cannot believe we managed to lose that game last night. We were far better in every department. Some absolutely bizarre officiating saw us down to 10 when they should have been down to 9. Many of the same tactics on display from Panmure as last season. I will try to take the the positives out of it and come to the conclusion that we will win far more than we lose against the teams around us towards the top of the table this season. Lots to be encouraged by. We will do much better this season playing like that. Onwards and upwards.
  13. If the will is there, then I don't think Broughty can be all that far away from getting licensed. The will has got to be there though. I just hope everyone's on board.
  14. This was amongst a wee pile of records that was waiting for me when I got home from hospital last time. It's by Zake and the album is a little beauty.
