All-star Amy Winehouse concert tonight was - for me - gig of the year with a stunning array of generational female vocalists all on one stage. Truly honouring her memory. If I had to pick one… FLO were exceptional. But everyone was fantastic. We love you Amy!

wrote about how+why black artists get left out of the indie sleaze nostalgia discourse for p&p!
When “indie sleaze” was actually happening, it was just called indie. But as the era gets repackaged through playlists, party photos, and Pinterest boards, the Black artists who helped shape the era are being left out.⁠ ⁠ @Santigold, Spank Rock, and @kilokish shed light on the scene they experienced, the boxes the industry put them in, and how the people telling its story shape what gets remembered.⁠ ⁠ Read the full feature by @precious1otus here: pigeonsandplanes.com/read/wh…

Outstanding interview with Sir Alex Ferguson: Glasgow shipyards, tenements, John F Kennedy, Rangers, Aberdeen, Scotland, Manchester Utd, fallouts, brain haemorrhage, life changes, fighting the SFA and more. Brilliant insight by @_PaulHayward. #MUFC observer.co.uk/culture/inter…

Stephen King stepping in to aid Scottish non-league club Buckie Thistle is… unexpected?! But nice.

I am ready to welcome back our 21st century indie-rock god Bradford Cox.
Though he participated in a noise jam at an Athens vintage market in 2023, Deerhunter and Atlas Sound’s Bradford Cox has stayed out of the public eye this decade. Today, Cox debuted all new material in a set at Making Time ∞ – his first show in seven years. [📹: @scottgum]

I don’t know, ask Bob Dylan , Joan Baez, John Lennon, Akala, Laura….
Laura Kuenssberg: "Is it for people who are singers, songwriters, artists to be taking public positions on very very controversial, difficult, complicated issues" THE most stupid, ridiculous, uninformed, ignorant question I have ever heard. #BBCLauraK

Pleased to say I’ve been supporting this excellent publication from Issue One! The time has flown by. Nutmeg is never less than excellent and has published some of my favourite Scottish football writing of recent times.
It's a decade since issue one of Nutmeg arrived. To celebrate, we’re publishing some of our favourite articles across that time. This is the tale of @mrneilforsyth's friendship with @dundeeunitedfc legend Ralph Milne from our first issue 📖➡️ tinyurl.com/yk7atabb
