33.13 - I'm The Epitome Of Public Enemy

33.13 - I'm The Epitome Of Public Enemy This post is absolutely not brought to you in conjunction with The Illuminati. Honest. Promise. It just gets difficult to find new images for these posts. The only New World Order I know anything about is the wrestling one. Hey, wrestling, that's as good a segue into today's song as any. The song references ECW's Grunge and New Jack, giving me a slightly less jarring transition that the plain old "look, a song!" preamble I'd originally planned to go here. Weezer eh? Naming albums after Lost characters, having THREE self titled albums and screwing [...]

33.12 - Tripping

33.12 - Tripping Back to the hip-hop today. Fans of white Scottish men talking about hip hop rejoice! Stumbling across DJ Z-Trip was a happy accident. I was living in Watford back in 2001/2002, and took the opportunity to hop into London with my pal to see DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist. Neither of us expected to leave much more impressed by one of their warm up DJs, but Z-Trip was pretty much awesome, and leave raving about him we did. I've never really been into mash ups all that much, but there's something about the way [...]

33.11 - Obvious Post Theme Is Obvious Alternate title: Where's the Beef? Jeepers, one third of the way through already, so if playing this post on your turntable remember to set it to 33⅓ instead of 45rpm. Anyway, yes, day eleven means I couldn't resist the obvious option of turning the volume up a bit. Here are a selection of some mighty fine bands making lovely loud noises. Also, see, I do like music made post 1998. A Fight You Can't Win - Shout First/Loud Words Black International - [...]

33.10 - What Do You Do When the Music Stops?

I was going to save this song till the end, since that's usually where it goes when I'm DJing, but I think I'll throw it out there now instead, I've already got enough enough stuff I'm saving for later. Yes. Yes I can. The Pipettes - Pull Shapes I don't fully trust anyone who doesn't dance to Pull Shapes. It even has handclaps and everything! I love songs with handclaps.

For a change this installment of 33 isn't slipping in just before midnight because I was lazy, distracted, or couldn't be arsed. It's actually being written in advance, on Thursday, since I'll I'll be out galavanting somewhere on Friday night. Pete Wylie is a pain in the arse for anyone who likes to keep their music collection carefully aphabetised. Wah!, Wah! Heat, Shambeko!

33.6 - A Chance To be Lazy Can you see where this is going? The last couple of posts in the 33 series have been more labour intensive than they might look, meaning I briefly had to use my brain. Now, I don't want to have to do that too often. It's a small small brain, it gets used up quite quickly, and I might need it at some point later. With that in mind while trying to think of what I wanted to do today I looked out the window, typed "sun" into search on my [...]

33.5 - Alien Vs Predator (Not Really) 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 [...]

33.4 - Welcome to the Lo-Fi Ghetto

33.4 - Welcome to the Lo-Fi Ghetto Go team. Today I'm somewhat more organised. Only somewhat though, full organisation is like a myth to me, along with unicorns, Brigadoon, and good Kassidy records. Zing. Since it's Sunday I'm going to focus more on a band than a song today. I don't know what ot being Sunday has to do with that, but I am quite clearly making this shit up as I go along, so whatever.

33.3 - Broken Kneecap, Velvet Spine

33.3 - Broken Kneecap, Velvet Spine Oh hello almost missed deadline! I never expected to see you so soon. You're going to be visiting a lot in the next month, aren't you? Yes you are, you little scamp. So yeah, football, a bust hard drive, and other things have all contrived to distract me today, meaning that very little thought has been put into this post, I've fired up blogger just after 11, and picked the very first song that came into my head. I'm tempted to hide the name so that you don't know what it is until you [...]

33.2 - Yeah, and You Thought You Knew Me?

33.2 - Yeah, and You Thought You Knew Me? I don't know either. Woo, Friday night, party time! What'll it be tonight then, an indie disco floorfiller? Some fat, throbbing beats for us to get down to? A bit of The Boss to sing along to while getting pickled? No? Something which features domestic violence? Yes. Whipping Boy. We Don't Need Nobody Else is another song I turn to when alcohol influenced and in control of music, but usually not till the point where everyone is a bit too drunk, [...]

33.1 - Start Big

Things I didn't think of when coming up with this stupid idea #1: title images are going to be a pain. Let's start with beer, almost everything starts with beer. Entry number one then, what should it be? Something like The Delgados, Arab Strap or Teenage Fanclub would be an easy way to go, but all a bit too obvious. We'll get to them, but not tonight. No, I think we'll skip straight to one of the big guns to kick things off. If you only know me from reading the blog this one might be [...]

Goodness no, the one last year almost gave me a nervous breakdown, and cost me most of my birthday money. Yet another Aye Tunes gig in July though. Shh, I never said that.

SAY Award Shortlist Announced

I keep forgetting to mention the Scottish Album of the Year Award . The shortlist of the ten albums that'll be in the running for the prize has been announced today, so now is as good time as any to finally get around to it, I suppose. Firstly, a wee bit of background: The SAY Award was concieved by The Scottish Music Industry Association (SMIA). Earlier in the year 100 music and arts industry figures from across Scotland were invited to submit their nominations for the Scottish Album of the Year, before a longlist featuring [...]

Another Aye Tunes Gig: Exit_International, Wrongnote & Supermarionation Been a while since I put on a gig, having all but decided to hang up my occasionally used promoter hat at the end of last year.

We've spread our wings a bit and are bringing a band all the way from Wales for this one, along with one from Glasgow, and one from the scariest place of all, Edinburgh. Exit_International [...]

Buy Expensive Plastic, You Capitalist Pigs! (Or: Record Store Day 2012)

Hey, look, I'm alive! Surprised? I am. Record Store Day is coming up this Saturday, so I figured I should make some attempt at doing something here, even though I am Scotland's laziest music blogger. Me and RSD don't really get on that much, in part because I don't buy much vinyl, and in part because I call shops shops, not stores. For a more enthusiastic bit about record shops hop over to our pals at Echoes and Dust . One good thing about Record Store Day is that you can always catch some bands [...]
