#BillyMackenzie wrote the ultimate lovesong. We recorded it too. An appropriate song for today’s #ValentinesDay: https://open.spotify.com/track/28I9QXMj3JMFVHNjxIyylL?si=8kCmZ4eXTpq_sWDtL0NtyA

Hadn't listened to Double Hipness in ages - rarities collection of The Associates. The sheer energy & talent - what a voice! #nowPlaying #BillyMackenzie #theAssociates #scottishMusic

#NowPlaying #TheAssociates Silk whilst remembering the excellent #BillyMacKenzie and now also #AlanRankine RIP

Would be lovely to think they will be meeting up to make music again. Hard to believe they have both gone 😞 #AlanRankine #BillyMackenzie

Sad news that #AlanRankine, the genius Scottish musician who was #BillyMackenzie's collaborative partner in the early years and strongest successes of #TheAssociates, has passed. A Scottish musical legend in his own right, he happily celebrated the Associates' legacy and Billy's memory. Seek out #TheAffectionatePunch, #FourthDrawerDown and of course the godlike #Sulk -- and remember when he appeared on #TOTP playing a chocolate guitar. #music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krsCEr-6V5Y

#AlbumOfTheWeek I listened to #BillyMackenzie’s intensely melancholy Beyond The Sun album, posthumously released way back, straight after England’s world cup defeat and it expressed my mood PERFECTLY. #ThisIsMyJam #music
