I reject your claim that I am "cheating" with this image by saying nyah nyah. Let's stick with the only mildly homoerotic "Aye Tunes Hearts Peenko" theme a bit more today. Much like yesterday I blamed Urusei Yatsura for this blog existing, today I blame Chemikal Underground for giving me the stupid idea to promote gigs. Chemikal Underground and beer. "How on Earth can you blame Chemikal Underground for you being a fool?" you ask? Well, I'll tell you. It was back in January of 2010, wandering down the road for [...]

There are certain moments that define your life, it's the little things that tend to stick with you. One such moment for me was the last Define Pop festival at the Flying Duck, yes I got drunk, saw lots of great bands and danced like a total fanny (there is video evidence of this, but I'll be fucked if I am going to actively share it with you). More importantly for me it was a day were I got to meet and make friends with a lot of great people. If I hadn't been there, then I am pretty sure [...]

As some of you might have already spotted, me and my good friend Jim ' Ayetunes ' have decided to put on our second gig night together. Seeing as it was so much fun at the first one, we couldn't not have another go at it. This time we're relocating the venue to The 13th Note , not that we didn't like the Captains Rest, but we weren't too keen on sitting at the top of the stairs while you lot all enjoyed yourselves. We're selfish like that. You might have noticed that this time 'Ayetunes' comes first, that [...]

A few days ago I asked for some recommendations for my #MusicMonday playlist and peenko was happy to oblige me with three artists, two of which I had put off checking out as I was busy putting off checking out other bands. This is the first he recommended, Little Yellow Ukuleles, an Alt-Rock ensemble from Glasgow, Scotland. Members Adam Breckenridge, Connor McLaughlin, Ross Coll, and Shug will no doubt be compared to We Were Promised Jetpacks (who are in turn compared to Frightened Rabbit, who are in turn compared to Arab Strap, and so on and [...]

I first came across the Glasgow Podcart after Boab introduced me to Sean and Halina at a Yahweh and applesofenergy gig last year. Due to the consumption of a few cans of the finest Red Stripe, my memories of that evening are a bit blurry, I do remember being bowled over about how passionate they both were about music and what they wanted to do with the Podcart. My other memory is of rambling utter shit at Sean for quite a long time, I still cringe when I recall that moment. The following day, I was hungover in [...]
