    I know someone on here is a brickist (sp?? - brickofile?) Anyway I spotted these and thought of you:


    Lochside

    Bonnyridge Brand

    If you can guess where they are both from (different locations) I'll buy you a coffee at our next PY!

    If you found them on your ride last week there's only what 1,200km of Scottish shoreline to guess from? If it was while you had time on your hands can I guess one of them was seen at Lochranza?

    Well it wouldn't be Radioactive Bay, so perhaps Burntisland by the Fair.

    In the spirit of existential bleakness proper to this thread; Is the second brick in the silted up remains of Buckhaven harbour?

    A little further out. We visted this place wher there was an Art festival on before going a little further to a place where Kenny Anderson* lives to buy his CD from the museum.

    As part of the Fence Collective.

    Assuming those clues are red fish, how about Elie?

    Nope a little further out. Are you just naming towns heading east from Kirkaldy? ;O)

    Well 'further out' presumably means 'east of Kirkcaldy'.

    There's not much further out than Crail but I don't recall a museum there so I'll go with Fish and Chips in Anstruther instead.

    Near but no cigar. Pittenweem, there was an Art Fair on this weekend (perhaps all month?). Afterwards we headed to The Scottich Fisheries Museum with the boys to explore, and I bought King Creosote's CD Sure & Steadfast, funds raised go to the museum.

    I have previous king creosote album where the best bit is the woman in the cafe saying Hiiiiiiya to them and chit chatting. They appear to have recorded her and used it on the album as she subsequently claimed she was in the huff.

    The brother Gordon, was he in the beta band? He had an album I think Lone Pigeon was the group - Concubines Rice that I liked. Had yer man from Arab strap on moaning about the secret bunker and how could it be secret if there were signs pointing to it etc.

    P.s. Some of The artists of pittenweem make their years wages in that art week

    Diamond Mine. Love that album. There's a voice in that track that I think sounds like me every time I hear it. Very similar slightly stuffed up nasal west coast but not properly Glaswegian or long ago left Glasgow Glaswegian accent.

    FWIW there is a museum in Crail. And having grown up there I can confirm that the best fish and chips are to be found in Biggar. I was listening to the King Creosote film soundtrack last night. Sadly the film seems not to be on YouTube.

    Aidan Moffat from Arab strap has second album out with bill wells. Their first album has a track called The Coppertop which is standout, about pub in Falkirk next to the crematorium - it's once shiny roof, now a dull grey, everything's getting older. Anyway, on this second album he actually sings, quite sweetly.

    Watched some of their live performances on YouTube. Good. They were on Marc Riley and Aidan was punting that he is in fact mostly cheerful
