Le Tout P'ti FC Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Are their LPs as good as Marquee Moon by Television ? Stranded by Roxy Music ? Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely ? Revolver by The Beatles ? Get Happy by Elvis Costello & The Attractions ? If not I don't really have time. Experience has told me that Scottish pop music is like Scottish football. Not in the same class as that from elsewhere. But good luck to him, he certainly doesn't need my endorsement any more than Lewis Capaldi does.You don't have time to try something new? Give Mogwai a bash, you might like it. If you don't, just try something different. I don't think you can easily dismiss Stuart Braithwaite as a non-entity. He's made a fairly abiding impact on the modern musical culture of our country:25-years as a touring musician, typically playing arenas like Barrowlands or Alexandra Palace to big and indeed growing crowds.Their last album - As the love continues - was their first UK No.1 album. He's scored films and TV programmes. Most famously the Douglas Gordon film Zidane. Rock Action, his music label, have introduced various Scottish Album of the Year nominated albums. He's just released his autobiography Spaceships over Glasgow, and just this week had a tour of venues promoting its release. I was part of a sold out crowd at Monorail. Here's a picture of the promo CD of his musical influences, which he gave away that night. I suspect his musical taste may be closer to your own than you'd given him credence for? I'm a total Mogwai fanboy, so I'm hardly impartial on this, but I hope my intro has given you pause to rethink your "non-entity" comment as slightly ill informed, at best. He might not be to your taste, but he doesn't deserve being written off as some light pop act who will flash by. Go on, try them. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today he asked listeners to email what Meatloaf’s real name is. Has his producer not got the ability to carry out a 10 second Google search for him? Every week they’re asking folk to email answers to random questions that could be done in seconds themselves. Ach I'm not too bothered about the "easily Googled"stuff.. everyone does it. But I agree in principal with what you are saying 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I felt Tam was a bit quick to go in studs-up on Marvin Bartley for mistakingly hearing a racist shout from the crowd. It wasn't clear cut from the audio, but if you've spent your life with people judging you by the colour of your skin, a bit of lee-way/sensitivity is required. Calling for Bartley to come on and apologise.... FFS. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever hear him asking anyone to apologise for sectarianism. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a point of asking him to apologise live on radio and then plastering his tweets on his instagram. He's been on here and posting your comments on his instagram as well, deary me. Fair enough if Bartley has got it wrong but it's complete ignorance from Cowan, unsurprising. A white privileged man calling for an apology from a black man who has experienced racism his whole life. A little sensitivity as to why he may react that way when listening to that audio. It reminds me of the famous James Baldwin quote to a white woman : "I don't know you personally, but I know you historically" Give this a watch Tam, enlighten yourself. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that Cowan's problem with Marvin Bartley is that he is Eilidh Barbour's partner. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoF Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I’ve always quite liked Tam Cowan but he’s acting like a right weirdo on his Instagram. As a few have said, a guy with the reach of Tam Cowan should be handling this with a bit of sensitivity. The absolute delight from some that Marvin Bartley got it wrong is quite telling. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From top to bottom they are an oolong (da hong pao) a black (Yunnan golden needle) and a green (long jing). They're all very different and you get far more range in tea than you do coffee. Good quality tea has very little astringency or bitterness. You get very fragrant almost floral teas, deep malty teas and woody earthy teas like a ten year old pu'er. There's something for everyone and unlike having a nice range of good whisky at home, the tea equivalent can be achieved for very little money.

craigkillie Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The daft thing is that there are very justifiable reasons (or specifically one very justifiable reason) not to like Marvin Bartley as a person, but that definitely isn't Cowan's motivation here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're firing on all cylinders today ! How does someone born in 1976 go about using a bank note that hasn't been legal tender since 1970? Stuart needs to give it up, he's become an absolute slaver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
