The problem with having a young lady in your life who has foresworn the devil drink for a couple of months is that when she breaks this habit for an evening and gets utterly massacred on half a bottle of wine, you get the inordinate pleasure of having all last night's conversations for a second time, in the morning, once she's sobered up. So yes, this morning has been a little like Total Recall for me. What's that darling? Josie Long was really good, and made you feel ashamed of your political apathy? What, again? Since last night?

Man I am getting pretty shoddy when it comes to posting these weekly cover versions, I might have missed posting something up last weekend but I reckon I have a pretty good excuse in that I spent most of the weekend meeting up with folk to do some plotting. There are plans afoot for a wee bloggers project involving myself, my old partner in crime Jim Aye Tunes and the relatively new kid on the block, Neil from Scottish Fiction to join forces to put on a regular gig night in Glasgow. At the moment we're still very much at [...]
9 of Scotland’s finest artists have launched a brand new collaborative record as part of 2010’s Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival.

The project has grown from the annual Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival (1-24 October 2010) [...]
Glasgow-based Emma Pollock, formerly of the Delgados, has been a solo artist since the band broke up in 2005, and released her first solo album, Watch the Fireworks , on 4AD in 2007. She then switched to Chemikal Underground for March's The Law of Large Numbers , which definitely has threads of Delgados running through it, but is heavier on the piano. "Confessions" is the clear "single" on this album, but there are plenty of interesting, darker tunes to be found as well, full of those intricate vocal arpeggios her former band was so fond of. If you [...]
The Burns Unit are one of the more original and interestingly-constructed collaborations. The disparate group of 8 Scottish and Canadian musicians (folk singer Karine Polwark , Fence Collective mainstay King Creosote , Emma Pollock formerly of The Delgados , Indo-Caledonian Future Pilot AKA , multi-instrumentalist Kim Edgar , Canadians drummer/producer Mattie Foulds and pianist Michael Johnson , and rapper MC Soom T ) originally came together courtesy of the Burnsong songwriters' retreat in Scotland in 2006, not having previously known each other or worked together.

Lucky Soul Here's a little bit of trivia for you. Of the 66 artists who've either placed in my year-end lists since I began recording them in 2003 or made my "favourite records of the past seven years" list, 18 of them have or are about to release new records this year, seven more were due to put one out this year, eight have put out solo records or collaborations and five more are currently in the studio. Which is to say that if past history is any indicator, 2010 is going [...]

Listen: Emma Pollock - "Dark Skies"
It's been a couple of years since we last heard from Scottish songstress Emma Pollock via her excellent second album The Law of Large Numbers , an album we described as "complex and compelling...(its) breathless stylistic careening is a joy to behold". So we were predictably psyched to discover Pollock's new "Dark Skies", a track commissioned for the soundtrack to the recent multi-artist, multi-media Scottish performance event Whatever Gets You Through the Night . Armed with acoustic guitar and backed by some foreboding minor [...]

Emma Pollock The Law of Large Numbers
First-time listeners beware. The charming piano solo that is the first track of Emma Pollock’s The Law of Large Numbers sets the melody for the next full song, but not the tone for the entire album. Yes, this March release is overabundant with talented piano features, but that does not define Pollock’s music in general. The Scottish singer and songwriter steps it up with an edgy voice. Just when you think you have her figured out, the melody changes and a set of fiery lyrics are right there, too. This creates a sense of anticipation, and it is persuasive. Consider [...]
