The Hobbes Fanclub at Glasgow Popfest 2011

For better or worse, it was the need to evangelise about The Hobbes Fanclub which persuaded me back into jotting down thoughts on music.  I'd all but given up on it as posting blogs on myspace was proving too slow and untidy and time always seemed to be short.  "Outside Myself", however, changed that.  It always sounded like a song that could be chill-inducing to hear live and so it proved when they played it at the recent Glasgow Popfest.  Thankfully, the wonderfully named Rafa Skam was on hand to film it.  Of course a YouTube clip can't convey the true extent of the brilliance of the performance but I'm still glad someone was savvy enough to record it for posterity.
