try glasgow more

You missed our hero coming over from Milan on Ryanair, finding out that Glasgow occasionally has a bit of blue sky, visiting two people he barely knew who lived on Clouston St, meeting their blonde pal who sings songs, eating cake, smiling a bit, then in the super feel-good finish, coming to live here. On - yes! - Clouston St. best video yet made.

you missed out the bit where he includes lots of shots of the outside of the blonde pal's house.

(who was in my friend's son's year at school!)

more info plz

It's gone? Never mind, I still have it on the brain. Catchy as crabs, that tune.

hi guys im looking for either ailsa or ally's number (or yours!) is it at all possible to text me on 07852 three 07610? i have um, misplaced a wedding invite and have no idea where to go for the evening....

Clouston Street!

(Will text number)

Thanks Alba, facilitator of social networking!

What's on fire, Glasgow? There's a rather inconvenient house in the way not letting me see where all the smoke is coming from across the river from my house.

all sorted cheers guys! waiting for plane now xx

What is on fire is the same scrapyard that was on fire before. It's this side of the river, and was causing delays to flights because it was blowing smoke all over the flightpath to Glasgow Airport, but Ken will be delighted to know it's calmed down a bit now.

So, tomorrow I will be at the 13th Note's "Rumble In The Jumble" event in the afternoon from 12pm onwards showing off and selling prints in my Crimson Glow Photography guise.

There's lots of other arty/crafty/bric-a-brac stalls, cocktails, food, board games, DJs and then bands in the evening. Free entry, of course.

If anyone fancies it, then please do come along for a browse, maybe even buy something, and at the very least say hi!

clouston street is back!

omg i want to live in clouston street

(strawberry blonde?)

This is gold. I live just off Clouston Street, in Sanda Street. I have fond memories of Clouston St. Ken - our mutual friend Kate used to stay there in a great party flat. The wall between the kitchen and the lounge had been knocked down, so you had this massive open plan room. Perhaps I should write a song about Sanda Street. Unfortunately I don't have any beautiful girls living next door, at least as far as I know.

Try to chain it down to Glasgow Cross :)

I wish the video still had lyric subtitles.

A wee plug for myself for anyone in Glasgow over the last two weeks of July...

Crimson Glow Photography presents "It's Not Red", a solo photography exhibtion at the 13th Note, Glasgow, from Monday 20th July to Sunday 2nd August 2009.

An exhibition of live music photography and sonic terrorism in visual form, from the depths of Glasgow's own underground weirdness to the hallowed international heights of touring musical marauders.

Entry, as ever, is free. Please do come along at some point during the exhibition to take a look. Features Throbbing Gristle, Hermann Nitsch, Richard Youngs, Glasgow Implodes and many others...

Prints are now available to buy in Avalanche Records, Glasgow and should also be available in Monorail Music before too long and from the 13th Note during the exhibtion itself, as well as directly from myself, of course.

I am still plannin' to come to Glasgow - Aug 4th looks like my evening of potential ale.

krakow, soon as i get some dough im gonna buy one yr one prints, am leaning towards that great shot of omar souleyman clapping his hands

dr c - dated noted in diary, im sure we'll meet in mono (joek)

Stereo? (Not joek :)

That's superb: I'll try to make sure I get an early finish that day.

And Krakow: I'll definitely try to pop along and have a look at your wares.

i'll come to see Dr C. 4th is a tuesday night though :s

i went to stereo last time i tried glasgow!

was disappointed it wasn't twice the size as mono

The seats are rubbish in Stereo. Should be quite quiet on a Tuesday, right enough. That's the first week of my holiday, so I might not actually be here if we get something booked/organised, which would be a shame, but if I'm around, I will be in a pub with you lot.

78 is the best of the lot.

Is that the "old" Stereo on Kelvinhaugh Street? Still not been since it reopened, although I walked past it the other week and it looked ace.

Sure is. It's really cosy and they have Samuel Smith's cheap and tasty Taddy Lager on tap.

i was at 78 last wednesday for their 'dub and grub' night - place was REALLY busy/crowded

I am tempted to believe it is better than Mono and Stereo, yes. Also nearer the Clyde Tunnel for taxis home, which makes it a winner in my book. Those wobbly high seats in Stereo are totally rubbish, I was in with Madchen and Stet last week and we were all rather precarious. Mono has gone up a wee bit in my estimation since they started serving real Guinness and not that Sam Smith's shite, and also by comparison to the Note, which was full of smelly metallers.

The sofa was good, though.

sofa so good

dr c might like the rec shop in mono?

Sofa was good, yes, until I had to try to manoeuvre my broken arse out of it (though after six pints, two ibuprofen and two co-codamols, I'd stopped feeling anything the pain by that point)

Am I to understand there is a meet-up in the works? If I'm about I'll put my social hat on and come along.

food is best in stereo; anything else is just challops

When I come I don't need food, just ale. Food is OK if general concensus though. What are Mono and Stereo?

Hope you can make it Ailsa!

shame the west brewery is stupidly far away from everything. st. mungos beer is A++

though obv i am a total west-ender, and going east of saltmarket is just inconceivable

bad but understandable attitude

I'm up for a meat up. Haven't seen some of you for a while.

meat up

Dr Freud! Quick, come and see what he's said now ...

Well, believe it or not it was actually just a subtle 'can we not go to Mono' point!

Tuesday is now fine because the football's on the Wednesday, was going to have to be a pub with a telly if the Champions League qualifier second leg was on the Tuesday. My attendance is entirely dependent on holiday plans now. Hopefully we can make it though, would be good to meet Dr C.

hello

Not me, you won't understand a word I'm saying. But we're nice to our visitors.

Hey Tom - sounds cool, should meet for some sweet beers
