Friday Freebies

Friday Freebies The Twilight Sad Kilsyth's finest sons are all set to release their much anticipated third album (proper), No One Can Ever Know, next month. Having heard the album I reckon it's going to take a lot of folk by surprise with the new direction they've taken. As a wee teaser of what to expect, you can download Another Bed from it for free via both the Skinny and Spin . Aloha Tigers! My good friend Ian, who used to run the blog Have Fun At Dinner has set [...]

40 Festive Tunes For Y'all

40 Festive Tunes For Y'all Normally on a Saturday I like to post a cover version or two, but seeing as it's fast approaching Christmas Eve and I am sure most of you are starting to get into the festive spirit I thought it might be a fun idea to post up a few festive tunes. A couple of songs ended up turning into many many hours of searching through my music collection to bring you a whopping forty Christmas songs from an array of Scottish artists. I guess this is as good as a time as any to wish all of the folk that [...]

The Scottish BAMS Award 2011 (The Scottish Blogger And Music Sites Award)

logo designed by Bob Rafferty Three years ago I decided that it might be fun to run a poll amongst my fellow bloggers and folk who run music sites in Scotland, to try and find out what the definitive album of that year really was. In its inaugural year The Phantom Band pipped Animal Collective to claim top spot, then last year I did it all again with The National topping that list. This year I managed to rope in a whopping 47 folk to take part in choosing their [...]

Scots Way-Hay - The Artists Albums of the Year 2011 (Part 2)

Scots Way-Hay - The Artists Albums of the Year 2011 (Part 2) If you're already getting sick of all of this talk about albums of the year, then you might want to stay well away from this site for the next two weeks. Continuing on from last week, here's the second out of four scheduled Artists Albums of the Year. This is the bit where I get folk who've done interviews for me over the past two years to tell me a bit about what's been tickling their fancy in 2012, we even have one of our artists choosing an album by someone else who's writing about their favourite album - I [...]

Scots Way-Hay #63 - Mike Nisbet

Scots Way-Hay #63 - Mike Nisbet Singer songwriters do feel like they're ten a penny at the moment, or at least that's the impression my inbox gives me. I do try my best to sit and give everything I get sent a listen, most of it sounds 'nice', but it takes a lot for something to really stand out. For me it's usually the voice or the lyrics, admittedly you can normally tell within a few seconds whether it is for me or not. So a few weeks back when my friend Phil from Elba Sessions got in touch to suggest that I check [...]

I should never have scrapped the weekly roundup...

I should never have scrapped the weekly roundup... At the start of the year I decided to stop posting 7 days a week as to be honest I thought I needed to at least take one day off a week from blogging, plus I thought it only fair to save you all from my ramblings for one day. Which now leaves me with a load of gigs and bits of news and nowhere to post them, hence the randomness of these kind of posts, I am still sticking to my guns though, I'll manage one day off one week if it kills me. As I am heading up [...]
