Track Listing 1. Car Song (featuring Aidan Moffat) 2. Half Light (featuring Emma Pollock) 3. For Joe Download
So you wait for one rambling news post, then along come two in one week. If you're not a fan of my tired inane ramblings then you may want to look away now... First up, the list of acts invited to showcase at this years goNORTH were announced earlier this week. The event which sees some of the most exciting up and coming bands playing across Inverness city centre takes place on [...]
There are two main things happening this week, as far as I can tell. One is the above-mentioned Ides of Toad gig of course, and the other is Record Store Day. I am ambivalent about Record Store Day, I have to confess, as it seems to encourage the worst kind of scalping and eBay profiteering, and it also seems like a poor apology for not spending more time in record shops year round. But at the same time it can be a really nice day, and encourages people back into shops with some really nice, limited edition products. [...]
We are in St. Andrews this weekend for the Fence Collective's Eye of the Dug Festival. Needless to say, The Dugcast or something to that effect might have been more suitable, but there are so many golf twats around town that I really couldn't ignore them, not after all the effort they make to look like complete prats. I get the impression that with golf, the costumes became so ludicrous that really the only way to look cool, instead of dressing like a normal person, was to try and look like an even bigger fuckwit than [...]
Track Listing 1. Car Song (featuring Aidan Moffat) 2. Sunbeam Melts The Hour (featuring Marion Kenny and Hanna Tuulikki) 3. For Joe Download
( Monday Music's the one weekly blog where SOIWT abandons its London-only focus, and goes global ) RM Hubbert - Sunbeam Melts the Hour (Feat. Marion Kenny & Hanna Tuulikki) Kicking off with swaggering, staggering plucks of a rusty ol' guitar, this could easily be the soundtrack to a violent, slow-motion section in a western, the scene where we see a portrait of domestic happiness which will inevitably get smashed up. The punch-drunk, whiskeyed feel is spellbinding - and appropriate, since Hubbert is a bleary Scot. [...]
I don't think I approached this record with breath quite as bated as a lot of the rest of the Scottish music community. I love RM Hubbert live; watching him play the guitar really is one of the most mesmerising things you'll see, and the sincere but humourous chat inbetween songs is as engaging as the actual performance. At the risk of enraging classical guitarists everywhere, however, I will venture that there are limitations to what you can achieve as a solo acoustic guitarist playing entirely instrumental songs. Not that his recorded stuff was bad by any means, [...]
Ah, Tartan Shortbread, that most wonderful of sardonic Scottish put-downs. For those unfamiliar with the term, this is the offhand dismissal used to describe the sort of mawkish, clichéd tourist tat which masquerades as Scottish heritage and culture for those with woefully little imagination. Alternatively, I suppose you could say that Tartan Shortbread is a blanket term for Scottish heritage as a sort of motorway service station take on national identity. Anyhow, given I work very much at the coalface of the DIY music world in Scotland, I find that I have been oddly unsupportive of [...]
One thing that I have learned about myself since starting this blog, is that I really should avoid writing reviews, as I don't think that they're really my forte. I don't really see the point in wasting your time and mine by rambling on and trying to find five ways to say that I think something's good. If it appears on here then you can take it for granted that I like it. Which in the rambling manner that I was trying to avoid, brings me to the new RM Hubbert album, 'Thirsteen Lost & Found'. As I am sure [...]
It is not often that you come across a record that speaks to you more than it does require listening upon first play. This particular record seems to offer more to the listener than just a collection of songs for roughly 40 minutes. It almost paints a story of emotions throughout and all seems to fit toget...

It's been a while since I last did a news round up, but as per usual I wait until my inbox is close to bursting until I finally get my finger out and cram everything into one 'handy' post. Seeing as every man and his dog seems to be out playing gigs at the moment, I just wanted to share with you some excititng things that are happening that you might want to check out... First off next Monday sees the releases of the second album from [...]
I really don't like these lists very much. It is pretty much impossible to say who will have a good year, who will plod along as usual, who will split up or vanish without a trace, or anything else. It's also hard to say what counts as having a good year. Playing to a wee tent at at festival? A "triumphant" sell out gig to about 150 people in Glasgow or Edinburgh? The whole exercise always seems a tad pointless to me, you'd be better off sticking some band names on the wall and throwing darts to select them. That [...]

THIS WEEK IS THE MOTHERFUCKING SONG. BY TOAD CHRISTMAS PARTY! OH YES IT IS! And isn't that jolly exciting. You'd best all be very excited indeed or I will be most upset - I'm a sensitive soul after all! I've also just realised that although I ordered tickets, I forgot to take them down to Avalanche, because I am a fool, so I will do that today. And you can buy them online too remember. However, firstly, a spot of boasting, if that's okay. I know I just did this last week but a couple of [...]

Friday is Contemplating a Vinyl-based Cash Apocalypse

Song, by Toad
Song, by ToadRecord Store (shop, shop, it's called a fucking SHOP!) Day is always bad news for my cash reserves. I am not, I have to confess, all that enticed by the exclusives, as honestly I find that all a bit gimmicky and pointless, but I do like the idea of encouraging people back into shops and reminding people what a pleasure it is to spend hours poking around through racks of records. Music is a personal, physical thing for me - it involves the sense, of course it's physical! - and gigs and community events like Record Store Day [...]
