I'm a little distracted by making arrangements for a special mission this coming week and I just realised that I hadn't made an appearance here today. So here I am and there are a few bits and pieces you ought to know depending of course on where you are. There's bugger all happening around here until several events that will sadly be missed but hey, I'll just have to live with it.

The Tremolo Beer Gut is at The Hot Club (Nice and Sleazy) in Glasgow with Big Ned next Saturday night. A rare big screen outing for "American Movie" at GFT on Sunday is a must for anyone who has seen it or not. A Monorail Film Club service to the community.

The Zombie events are at The Cameo and GFT next weekend also. Quite the Culturefest.

Further afield, Maia Hirasawa and Jonna Lee will be "on the road" in Sweden. Dates here.

Wreckless and Amy are playing some Euroshows with Yo La Tengo soon. Check where. A few weeks later they'll be part of a Kevin Coyne tribute troupe that will be setting about Belgium. And that's about as much as I can muster. Oh yeah, there's a BBC4 documentary about Krautrock airing on Friday 23rd at 9pm...

Better get back to what I oughtta be doing before I give in to my favourite pastime...
