Tenement buildings in Glasgow’s Park Circus which once housed the Maclay students halls of residence next to Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park are saved by the fire service after an accident during renovation work saw a building catch fire.
By lunchtime all that is left is a burnt out shell, lots of smoke and tired fire crew.

The third single off of “From Under The Cork Tree”, Sixteen Candles is less dancefloor anthemic than Sugar, We’re Going Down and more jittery stop-start timing than Dance, Dance. It’s still very much more of the same from FOB and, love them or hate them, the first guitar rush then slow to start vocals here will have kids screaming in excitement as they rush to the dancefloor no matter how cliched me and anyone else over the age of twenty recognise it as.
A reworking of Joan Armatrading’s “Woncha Come on Home” this is simply sublime and beautifully bittersweet acoustic hip-hop. There is a horribly constructed PR backstory attached here though but I really don’t care if this No Bizzi character is Reggie Yates or Lord Lucan or whoever else, the track’s production manages to improve on the original vocal mix and No Bizzi’s own contribution sits incredibly well alongside. Do everything you can to search out this track now before it’s ruined by being cool to like.
First glimpse of what to expect from their forthcoming 2nd album, Razorlight continue to be Razorlight but slightly better than the dullest generic indie-rock I remember the first album as being. I actually like the jangly guitars and hook lines in this track but I fear that may just be because I reckon it reminds me of The Alarm back in the late eighties. I just wish it had as much balls as that.
The SpoiltCat.com Blog only has one rule, “Never apologise for lack of updates.”
If there’s something interesting to share then we’ll try to find the time to share it, if not we’ll try to find something interesting. Updates will be irregular, we’ll neglect you and you may wonder if there will ever be another article.
Don’t worry though, we’ll write again soon—where “soon” is an undefined quantity …
“if only you could see what I've seen”
