Pixies on Jimmy Fallon

While I'm on about Jimmy Fallon, here's The Pixies performing 'Hey'.

Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young

This is probably the funniest thing I've seen Jimmy Fallon do. It's a spot on impression of Neil Young, playing a song you'll probably recognise.

November Spotify Playlist

A bit late, but here's my November Spotify playlist. Maybe some stuff on here you might like.

More Classic Keano

I liked Roy Keane as a player, but it's as a manager he's been more entertaining for me. I keep hoping Ipswich get beat just to see him lose the nut with someone else in the post match interview on The Football League Show. Here he is fielding questions about Thierry Henry's handball in Wednesday night's game. It's Keano's usual uncompromising stuff, but watch out for the bit around 2.33 when someone's phone goes off.

Mercury Fur

Mercury Fur is the next play up at the Ramshorn. It opens on Monday night. I'm going along to see it on Friday. This is the write up it got on Saturday in The Guardian.

It's a Double Edged Sword

Some great stuff from Louis CK here. Definitely NSFW and he probably says something that will offend someone watching.

Fastest Goal Ever and a Ten Goal Thriller

Couple of football posts for you today. Both of these happened over the weekend. This is reputed to be the fastest goal ever scored in football. Nawaf Al-Abid of Al-Hilal fired it in this weekend in around 2 seconds. The Offside wonders if it really is.

Meanwhile in France, Olympique Lyon and Olympique Marseille drew 5-5. The Ligue 1 website is calling it 'The Game of the Century'. The goals are below.

Marshall's Misdemeanours

Be sure to tune into Radio Scotland at 11.30am tomorrow to hear Marshall's Misdemeanours. Written by our pal Sandy Nelson, it's an hilarous campus comedy. It features Sandy in the main role, along with Gavin Mitchell and Steven McNicoll. If you can't tune in at the time, it is of course available for a week on the iPlayer. Just hit up this link.

Chris Rock on Jay Leno

Chris Rock on Jay Leno's chat show discussing, among other things Roman Polanski.

Saul Bass vs. Star Wars

This is pretty great. If Saul Bass created the opening titles for Star Wars.

Tom's October Spotify Playlist

A bit of a short one this month, as I was doing most of my music listening away from Spotify. But here it is anyway.

If you're enjoying my music picks then do listen in to my radio show 'Hooray For Saturday' on Sub City. You can listen to the last 6 shows on the listen again feature at the link.

The Glue Radio Pilot

As I'm sure you've read umpteen times we had a radio pilot on Radio Scotland in January and again in August. Well, it looks unlikely that there will be any more episodes made. So if you never heard it or want to have a copy for yourself, you can now download the show as an mp3 from this RapidShare link.

Update: This is the amended link with the dodgy sound fixed.

Here's a Spotify Playlist of all the songs played during 'Odds and Sods'. There's three nights left. Saturday has sold out, so that just leaves tonight and tomorrow if you want to come along.

The Dots at The Grand

If you're not coming to see Odds and Sods on Friday then what about a music gig? My pals All About The Dots are playing the Classic Grand in Jamaica Street.

They're playing support to Doll and the Kicks, and from what I can make of the four act line-up they'll probably be on first, so get there early to see them. Doors open at 7pm and it's a mere 6 quid to get in.

You can download a couple of songs from their website or head over to their MySpace page and hear a few more.

Hooray For Saturday

I've began presenting my own radio show. It's called Hooray For Saturday, I know it sounds like a kids' TV show, but trust me it's not. It's on Glasgow Uni's station Sub City.

So far I've had three shows and they've all went all right. No major disasters or nothing. I've been playing music, some comedy and gibbering, although I try to keep the talking to a minimum. I have been touting the idea of having some comedy guests on in the future, but I've so far been slow in organising it.

You can listen live on the Sub City website from 9am to 10am on a Saturday or listen again at the link at the top of the post. All three shows are there just now.

There's a fan page on Facebook. Gonnie join it and save it being just me.
