HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUNG 'UN

The handsome chap in the photo is my kid brother Stevie.....and the snap was taken three years ago today. So he's now 43 as of this morning.....

I don't see him all that often as he lives in Florida with his wife and two kids (one of whom is in fact 'the face of The Vinyl Villain on the right hand side'), but I know he has a read of this nonsense almost every day.

Stevie's taste in music isn't as diverse as mine, but I'd like to think he has picked up on a bunch of new stuff by listening to the mp3s posted here....

But today, I'll play safe and play some 80s Scottish pop that I know he'll love:-

mp3 : Big Country - Fields Of Fire
mp3 : Hipsway - The Honeythief
mp3 : Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Jennifer She Said
mp3 : Love & Money - Strange Kind Of Love

Happy Birthday Bro'. And Happy Listening one and all.

PS : Happy Birthday Mr John Greer of North Berwick, East Lothian. This time next year we'll get all nostalgic about you....
