I hate camping. I fucking hate it. You're always surrounded by midges and grass and trees and fresh air and everything else that's wrong with the world. I have twice endured festival camping in my short lifetime. One time was Connect in 2007, where, for some daft reason, we pitched the tent on a hill. When it came time to get some shut-eye (sleeping at a festival, eh? I'm wild, me...), I experienced this recurring, unsettling feeling of slowly sliding downwards headfirst every time I neared sleep. I thought we were going to career head first into the next tent [...]

This week I have decided to plump for three Scottish artists that you can catch at today's Stag & Dagger Festival which is taking place across various venues in Glasgow. Showcasing a wealth of local talent alongside an array of touring acts, it looks like it could be a cracking day out. Personally I am not going as I'd already arranged to meet friends to watch the Champions League Final, but hey if you are going make sure you check out Miaoux Miaoux and Adam Stafford, they're both braw!

Dear Scotland
There Goes the Fear Peenko
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 [...]

As I am sure that most of you will already know, the axe is very much hanging over Ally McCrae's BBC Introducing Scotland show on Radio 1. If you're reading this blog then I guess it's safe to say that you're already a big supporter of Scottish music and that the loss of this show would be a major kick in the teeth. As part of the campaign to save the show my friend the Pop Cop and promoter Paul from Pelemet Nites have organised a get together thus Sunday afternoon 1pm outside the Pacific Quay building. The afternoon will [...]

Until just recently I had decided that I was now too old to go to music festivals, the thought of waking up in a tent just really didn't appeal to me anymore. In short I was starting to think along the same lines as this grumpy old sod . However, when Randolph's Leap offered me one of their 'plus ones' for this years Wickerman Festival, I found myself changing my mind somewhat. I used to be the kind of person who looked to see who the headliners would be, this time round though I found myself looking at the [...]
There Goes the Fear
Fortunately, the weather once again holds out on Sunday as thousands of music fans flood into the centre of Sheffield for the last day of Tramlines 2011. By early afternoon, venue capacities become how many people will fit and still be able to get to the bar and the main stage has a steady moving queue. For this reason, I return to the New Music Stage, which today is curated by local screamo/hardcore group Rolo Tomassi. The band have great taste, as the first band I see are [...]

The Passion of the Weiss
There are plenty of artists toiling away within Glasgow’s music scene, but none of them work harder than The Phantom Band. Not that these Scots spend much time on home turf: since the release of their sophomore album, "The Wants," late last year, they’ve been touring incessantly. The Wants turned out to be an impressive listen, full of musical ideas, and the result of focused alchemy in the studio. With the northern festival season about to begin and a rough plan for a new album sometime towards the end of 2011, the chances of The Phantom Band getting down to [...]

FADED GLAMOUR![Camden Crawl: Sunday 1 May 2011 [Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3424446_lg.jpg)
Words: Saam Das Day 2 of my 2011 Gaymers Camden Crawl experience. Day 1 went pretty well and I managed to catch eight or so bands that I'd never seen before in amongst some minor japery. I was determined on Day 2 to go one step further and check out even more new bands. I'm pleased to report that I managed that feat. First up [...]
