Mull Historical Society, "Animal Cannabus" get it on Loss (2001) The real curse of being old is knowing that you're destined to be old-fashioned. As the idiot Abe Simpson once said, "I used to be with it. Then they changed what it was. Now what's it seems scary and weird to me." Not exactly the same, because I do like the glitchy bedroom electronics skipping over the internet these days. But a lot of times I miss a good, carefully [...]
Track Listing 1. The Light 2. Fold Out City Download
It's little more than a few notes into the chiming percussion and trotting guitar led instrumental to opener, 'Must You Make Eyes At Me Now'. That you realise how much this band, once voted twelfth greatest Scottish band of all time, have been missed during their lengthy hiatus. When the strained and genuine vocals of Colin Macintyre kick in, then a pondering stirring, blues layered intro, makes you just want to yell "welcome back guys!" at your IPod or choice of music playing medium. It blends neatly into the churning, more vocal grizzle inclusive attack on false lovers, 'Can You [...]
STV have come in for some massively unfair stick in the past, but they have come back fighting this week with one of the funniest pieces I've seen in ages. This week they published a list of nominations for the best Scottish songs of the noughties, to be voted for by viewers, with the intention of eventually whittling the numbers down to select 'Scotland's Greatest Ever Album'. And it is hilarious . The list of nominated songs for the last ten years or so is absolutely brilliant. I can't tell if it's the best satire [...]
Toronto - Colin MacIntyre aka Mull Historical Society has been making lush sounding pop tracks for about a decade now and on this particularly warm day, I am reminded of this particular song for some reason. The Final Arrears is the lead track off Mull Historical Society's second album, titled Us . It's a great introductory song for those looking to explore the band/artist, as it highlight's some of the bands best qualities - beautifully arranged music playing along a dreamy pop landscape. Check it out. The Final [...]
![[Introducing] – Just Another Snake Cult](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3434925_lg.jpg)
Tweet Somewhere between the quirky pop sensibility of Mull Historical Society and the actual insanity of The Fiery Furnaces ' "Blueberry Boat" lies the work of Thorir Bogason, otherwise known as Just Another Snake Cult. I wasn't aware that there were particularly many snake cults still around these days, but I'm delighted that there's another one. Sometimes music just makes you grin like an idiot. Born in Iceland (Maybe it's something in the water? Bjork's pretty cuckoo, right?) but raised in California, Thorir [...]
HAL were featured on Obscure Sound over five years ago. They were under-exposed then, and remain so now. That HAL have not released anything in seven years certainly didn't help. Nonetheless, I listened to their eponymous debut very often for several years without tiring of it. Its swirling mixture of Beach Boys-inspired west-coast pop and [...]

Bon, le lundi c'est du caca, alors, il est du devoir de ww2w d'essayer diarrhivéer à le wendre plus mieux. Aujourd'hui, ce sera grâce à Mull Historical Society . Mull Historical Society c'est le projet Colin MacIntyre. Trois albums sous le nom de MHS et deux sous son propre nom. Pour moi, c'est surtout son premier album « Loss » de 2001 qui compte. Le bâton de Colin y fait quasiment tout: compos, arrangements, production. [...]
As our after-parties or hangovers rage across the world, we look back on what Scottish bands have said was their best after-show happening. Answers below from members of the Average White Band, Twin Atlantic, Broken Records, Fangs, Dananananaykroyd, FOUND, Mogwai and more. ----- The Dear Scotland contributors are taking a bit of "winter break" over [...]
It's Hogmanay and apart from Auld Lang Syne, what other songs will should be singing to celebrate Scotland? We've asked loads of great Scottish bands what they thought the Scottish national anthem might be. Suggestions below from Mogwai, Camera Obscura, The Phantom Band, We Were Promised Jetpacks and more: ----- The Dear Scotland contributors are taking a bit [...]
Most of us find it hard to hear new music without comparing it to something we're already familiar with. "This really reminds me of [insert awesome band whose obscurity makes you ultra-hip here]." I'd like to avoid this syndrome but I can't seem to, so why don't I just list some artists that came to mind while listening through If a Band Plays in the Woods... by Philistines Jr.: They Might Be Giants, The Flaming Lips, Eels, The Cure, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, Joy Division, Failure, Sigur Ros, Polyphonic Spree, New Order, Dntel, and more that I couldn't quite [...]
Toronto - With the recent tour announcements from Scottish bands Teenage Fanclub , Belle and Sebastian and the Vaselines , I decided to look into another Scottish pop band that I enjoyed back in the day. Mull Historical Society was a Scottish band that put out three albums in the early 2000s, and featured the talents of singer-songwriter Colin MacIntyre . The band was named after an island off the West Coast of Scotland. They excelled at making that jangly type of pop that a lot of Scottish bands [...]
Suzanne Shaw is one courageous cookie. Whenever the St Andrews musician plays a gig, she morphs into PANDA SU , heart-crushing singer extraordinaire decorated chin to forehead in black and white paint to cover up the tear stains. Naming your music output after a creature of the wild may seem like a very modern trend, but it's nothing new. The biggest band the world has ever seen was named after a garden inset after all. But Panda Su is not like the rest. [...]

nachdem wir die vergangenen 10 jahre musiktechnisch komplett auseinandergenommen haben will ich sie zum abschluss nochmal als ganzes betrachten. oder zumindest die meiner meinung nach besten alben, lieder und eps des jahrzehnts zusammenfassen. wie immer persönlich und höchst subjektiv. meine alben des jahrzehnts meiner meinung nach kann man 10 jahre musikgeschichte kaum zu einer top 10-liste komprimieren, das hiesse ja im schnitt nur ein album pro jahr. meine shortlist enthielt 25 alben, und nach reiflicher überlegung habe ich aus dieser auswahl meine top 20 [...]
ich bin auf der suche nach meinen lieblingsalben des vergangenen jahrzehnts. 1 habe mich durch meine komplette musiksammlung gewühlt. jahresbestenlisten zusammengestellt. vergessene werke wiederentdeckt. erinnerungen entstaubt. und nach bewertungskriterien gesucht: was macht eigentlich ein lieblingsalbum aus? ist ein lieblingsalbum automatisch gleichzeitig ein album des jahrzehnts? und wie das ganze in eine rangfolge bringen? erstes ergebnis all dieser überlegungen: eine shortlist mit meinen 25 lieblingsalben der dekade, mit meinen persönlichen alben des jahrzehnts. ja, für mich sind lieblingsalben gleichzeitig alben des jahrzehnts. 2 auswahlkriterien: ich muss das album vom [...]
60. Peter Bjorn and John, "Young Folks" (2006) The standard writeup of "Young Folks" starts and ends with the whistle, but the story of this song--a story that trumps even the most powerful of musical hooks it has to offer--is a song seldom told in pop: two older people--tired and bitter from too many heartbreaks, feeling too old for the drama of youth and too young for a quieter older life--find each other. They're jaded enough to expect the end at any moment ("Usually when things have gone this far, people tend to disappear") [...]
2001 machte ich zuerst meinen führerschein, dann mein abi und ansonsten nicht wirklich viel. ich ging freitags zum smart club ins atomic café; wenn ich samstags wegging verabschiedete ich mich gegen 4 uhr, um die frankfurter allgemeine sonntagszeitung auszufahren. im herbst war ich auf meinem 5. sportfreunde stiller-konzert innerhalb von anderthalb jahren. am nächsten tag war ich in der stadt 1 einkaufen. bei sport scheck, wo sonst sportfernsehen läuft, sah ich die ersten bilder vom 11. september. meine lieblingsplatten damals [...]
Here, for no apparent reason, is a collection of bands named after places. Architecture in Helsinki I never knew the city was renowned for its flair for buildings. I guess it's catchier than Architecture in Slough. Beirut A New Mexican who named his group after a Lebanese city and plays eastern European, French and Mexican-influenced folk. Somebody has identity issues. [...]
