Complete history, analysis of every album, rarities, how their experimental ethos has changed the shape of mainstream music…

If you've ever got something happening in Scottish theatre, then make sure you let me know - email or DM!
Most of the time, either @thelatedave or I can make it along for @TheStage...
A wee thread of some Scottish theatre announcements that have come out in the last few weeks, which I haven't had time to shout about...
(Thinking of doing a weekly thread like this, for bits and bobs I don't cover in @TheStage...)

Music review: FIVE STARS for Mogwai, Usher Hall, Edinburgh

Some words on the late, great Manuel Gottsching for @Mixmag
"It’s a testament to his enduring influence that, were this tribute being written for a rock publication, it would be an entirely different one."
@thelatedave pays tribute to Manuel Göttsching

One of our faves from the album.
Have you seen our @scotsman_arts session.
Thanks to @thelatedave ❤️👍
In other Scotsman Sessions news, I also spoke to @LomondCampbell about this beauty of a recording last week for @scotsman_arts.

It was an absolute pleasure to speak and listen to @posterpaints1 for @scotsman_arts.
We're this weeks @scotsman_arts Session with our song 'Hard To Sweeten' filmed and recorded by Lisa Fabian in Carla's flat 🤍🖤

If anyone still has energy left in August, I've written this social and cultural history of all 75 years of all the Edinburgh festivals, I hope you enjoy it. Now at bookshops in the city @edbookfestshop @ToppingsEdin @Waterstones_Edi and at luath.co.uk/product/the-edin… @LuathPress
Also, here's an extract about the first blockbuster @edintfest show, the one which represented the dream of European reunification in '47 more than any other. @TheScotsman @scotsman_arts scotsman.com/arts-and-cultur…
And for the extremely potted story of the Festivals' first year, here's a piece I wrote which tells it in @TheStage. thestage.co.uk/obituaries--a…
