Tweet Nothings feat. Mogwai, Young Fathers, Findo Gask and many more

It's been a quiet week from Scottish bands with festivals at home and abroad eating up our songsters' precious time. But here at Under the Radar we've delved the murkiest depths of the internet to bring you the richest pickings from the Twitter grapevine this week.

Findo Gask don't beat about the Boosh...

@wearefindogask: If dreams came true? Noel Fielding looking into a mirror, punching his own reflection.

Pose Victorious aren't entirely convinced about the merits of a Scottish summer...
@Posevictorious: It's humbug time.

Just as sombre, Dananananakroyd announce that drummer John is feeling a bit poorly...
@dananananakroy: Sorry everyone, had to cancel remaining Australian shows - John broke his arm during the show in Sydney last night. Get better soon JBJ! x

Unicorn Kid considers the dangers of selling out...
@unicornkid: One of my remixes have apparently been rejected on the grounds of being 'too commerical', haha! Who would have thought.

Although Young Fathers are already a step ahead...
@Youngfathers: young fathers cooking show coming soon....yes..no...maybe?

But does Japan fear Mogwai?
@plasmatron: Heading out to Summersonic in Tokyo. Aphex and NIN are playing too. Its going to be a tough day for Japanese ears ;)

Calvin Harris finally produces something of note...
@calvinharris:I made an excellent bit of mashed potato though so it's not all bad

While Epic26 show their support for some of Scotland's more unorthodox venues...
@Epic26: Just heading to a meeting at Saughton prison ahead of our gig there on the 11th.

And finally, more schadenfreude from Findo Gask...
@wearefindogask: If dreams came true? Bono standing at a hole-in-the-wall cash machine, crying into it.

Words: Jodi Mullen (and Twitter)

Something missing? Any 140-character-or-less slices of genius we've missed out on this week? Do tell below...

and there was I thinking that Twitter was full of egotists over-estimating their own importance in the eyes of others by publicly broadcasting the irrelevant minutiae of their lives at every given opportunity as if we all give a massive fuck... BUT THEN Calvin Harris tells us all that he makes some excellent mashed potato and it's repeated in The Scotsman and it's almost as if SOME PEOPLE DO! And now I'm typing out a big comment about how much I don't care how Calvin Fucking Harris makes his mashed potato and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa [bang]
