Idles.

Mount Kimbie in Copenhagen tonight. Should be decent.

Sort of - I order(ed) them by sticker number and went through them in numerical order.

Have listened to enough good stuff this year for a top 10 of the year so far now: Daniel Romano - Too Hot To Sleep NewDad - Madra MGMT - Loss Of Life Holy Esque - Lay My Head Down Slow Yard Act - Where’s My Utopia? Sheer Mag - Playing Favourites The Smile - Wall Of Eyes Future Islands - People Who Aren’t There Anymore Ducks Ltd - Harm’s Way Omni - Souvenir

Not a fan of the numbering being within the teams rather than just starting from 1. Pain in the arse to find things.

I did - best of the three brilliant shows. Did you go too?

The new Daniel Romano album is exceptional and will definitely be up there, if not my favourite this year. Have also been enjoying the NewDad, MGMT, Yard Act and Sheer Mag records.

In that there London for The Hold Steady weekender. Night one was unreal.

The thing that I can’t seem to get my head round is how we’ve went from conceding so few goals under Doolan last season, to chucking them in every game, when we had dross like Darren Brownlie and have replaced him with Lewis Neilson. The lack of a proper Docherty replacement (until McBeth gets fully up to speed) has fucked us massively.

Saw Slowdive last night and told two c***s who shouted at each other for the duration of the first three songs to quieten down. They told me this was “a rock concert, not the opera” and that they “had paid the same money as everyone else, so we can do what we want”. Cannot be arsed with gigs anymore, especially when this is folk’s attitude.

Absolute bottle merchants. PTSD from the playoffs there and as soon as Livi scored the first, it was only going one way. Bannigan was excellent for us, as was Milne for the majority. As has been mentioned previously, and acknowledged by Doolan, the subs killed us. Not sure the logic of taking Graham and Lawless off that early, and particularly not McMillan unless he was injured. Neilson had a good game, but he let Nouble run at him inside the box for the second, and I think it’s his man for the winner. Livi were good second half and extra time, so probably deserved to go through overall, but it’s so frustrating how we can’t hang onto leads.

Listened to the Eliza McLamb album based on this and loving it, so cheers!

I think I’ve seen The Fratellis and The Twilight Sad about 40 times each, at least. Kassidy and Travis won’t be too far behind.

First gig of the year was Darlingside who were excellent at Saint Luke’s last night. Got J Mahon at The Hug & Pint on Tuesday then CLR Theory at The Glad Cafe on Friday.

Thistle miles off it tonight. Bar one Fitzpatrick chance at the end of the first half, which he probably should’ve done better with, there wasn’t really anything clear cut. Don’t think McInroy made a successful pass at all tonight, and Muirhead and Stanway were just as bad. Sneddon also needs dropped - the one thing McCall did well was dropping him and Mitchell whenever they had a dip, but that hasn’t happened at all this season. Doolan made the right call to go 4-4-2 when United hadn’t killed us off, but the risk obviously didn’t pay off. As others have said, interesting that Diack came on over Adeloye. Given what we’ve heard from Ayr fans about his attitude, I can’t imagine he’ll have been too chuffed with that. Wouldn’t be too arsed if he ended up going back to Swindon in January and we got someone else in, since he hasn’t been particularly great whenever I’ve seen him. If we don’t sign a half decent Docherty-style holding midfielder in January, then I don’t think we finish in the playoffs.
