Rockism is dead. Long live rawkism . Sure, it dwells in pockets here and there, like Japanese army holdouts in the Philippine jungle, but when the more hardcore elements among the performing set speak of "authenticity" there's the distinct tang of sour grapes in the air. Someone once said that inside every revolutionary beats the heart of a frustrated civil servant. Given access to a high tech studio and a massive production budget, even the most committed brick tossing rockist ideologue will start making heretical inquiries about overdubs, session musicians, and canned orchestral effects. Even The Clash, [...]
Yes, this week Contrast Podcast takes us back to the age of vinyl as contributors dig up their favourite 45s and offer them up with a good side order of nostalgia. And what luscious nuggets! 'Public Image' by PiL - one of FiL's all-time favourites!! Aztec Camera's 'Oblivious!! Oh my, I'm hyperventialting For all you youngsters in the audience, before them megabytes and shiny cee-deez came along, music often came in the form of plastic discs etched with grooves that were played on contraptions called gramophones with needles and large trumpets. Indeed, listening to music in [...]
Christmas Eve is upon us, and so I'll close my holiday theme week with Carter USM's rendition of " Lonely This Christmas " from a 1994 promo single. Mud's version of this Chinn and Chapman (the Boyce and Hart of 70's bubbleglam) number went to the top of the UK charts back in 1975, and has become something of a holiday standard on that side of the Atlantic. This version drops the faux Presleyisms and verses of the original, and instead delivers a brief quasi-acoustic rendition of the chorus that sums up the feeling that many of [...]

LET'S GET PHYSICAL
I went back to a gym today for the first time since the end of October 2006. Four long months. And it showed. 10 mins on a x-country trainer, 35 minutes on a treadmill and 10 mins on an exercise bike as well as all sorts of stretching manoeuvres and sit-ups. I know I'm going to pay the price tomorrow and the day after. But I had to do it as I really am, again, ridiculously out of shape.

BACK TO MY ROOTS (VOLUME 5)
I'm up late cos I can't sleep. I never can when Mrs Villain is working away overnight. Right now she's in Manchester on behalf of her company for a presentation to an important client just 24 hours after a previous presentation to a would-be client here in Glasgow who are likely to turn her down. Bastards. So I thought I'd end my five days of postings from the original vinyl with the one song

FROM UNDER THE COVERS (8)
A few days back, I mentioned that I had just got my hands on the solo LP that James Kirk released at the tail end of 2003. And I hinted that I would post a cover tune. Well, I'm kind of cheating given that James did write and play on the original version of this, in my view the greatest single ever to come out of Scotland. But he's doing vocals this time round and not Edwyn. And it's simply
