There we go, I'm 33 now. That means I can end the posting spree, and have a wee break. Next task will be to catch up on all the stuff I ignored over the past month... Anyway, to bring this fun and exhausting experiment to a close, three songs with a vague relation to today. Eels - Sixteen Tons Dark Star - I Am The Sun Smashing Pumpkins - Thirty-Three

This sink measures 33 by 27 by 7 inches. The kitchen sink. I could do this for another month and still barely scratch the surface of stuff I want to post. I won't though. Instead I'm going to throw a big ole pile of songs at you. All of this is stuff I love, and most of it is stuff I'd never get a chance to blog about normally. Just press play. AC Acoustics - I Messiah, Am Jailer [...]

Ginger Rogers in Professional Sweetheart, released 1933. The effort I still put in to these things... I've never much cared for calling a band or artist under rated. It quite often comes attached to a rather snobby tone, along the lines of "oh, this band are wonderful, people just don't get it, but I do" with an implied bit of "look how underground and brilliant I am". Some bands just aren't widely known, for whatever reason, the fact they aren't famous doesn't reflect on how well they are rated. None [...]

I told/warned you I'd get back round to Teenage Fanclub before this was all done. Formed at the tail end of the 80s and hailing from Bellshill, Teenage Fanclub are one of my favourite bands. The core of Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley and Gerard Love have been backed on drums over the years by Francis MacDonald, Brendan O’Hare, Paul Quinn and currently Francis MacDonald again on drums. I'm mostly going to be talking about one particular album here, but with a little bit about the rest. The finest moment on Teenage Fanclub's debut album, [...]

You are getting a very generic header image because earlier today, clearly not having thought things through very well, I typed the name of today's band into Google image search. I need new eyes now. With that in mind, and since it is getting late in the day with no blog post published, I'm going to rattle through this quickly. Prolapse came from Leicester, but had a member named "Scottish" Mick, along with "Geordie" Mick on bass. Unlike Tiny Tim, or anyone who as ever called themselves "mad", this wasn't an ironic nickname. The second "Scottish" Mick [...]

Near the start of this self indulgent ramblefest that has been 33 I wrote about the Aye Tunes Vs Pennko gigs. Returning to that self indulgent theme, today I'm going to write a wee bit about the gigs I've put on by myself, which have imaginatively been titled Aye Tunes Presents. I'd have shortened that to ATP, but I'm pretty sure there'd be objections to that. #1 - 21st January 2011, Stereo Goodness, that feels so long again. I suppose it is quite a while ago, nearly a year and a [...]

To say that the Afghan Whigs are a favourite of mine is a bit of an understatement. Greg Dulli is pretty much a musical hero of mine. He was the driving force behind the Afghan Whigs, the only musician other than Dave Grohl to play on the debut Foo Fighters album, faked being a Beatle along with Grohl, Thurston Moore and Mike Mills for the soundtrack to Backbeat, teamed with Mark Lanegan as The Gutter Twins, stuck out a couple of solo records, and can now be found heading up The Twilight Singers. To my ears he has never released [...]

No, not Skrillex. Never Skrillex. We're into the last week of this drivel. Praise the Lord. That does mean that I'm not allowed to put of stuff that'll require a bit of effort from me now though, since I'm running out of later to save things for. Hence, this week might have a lot more words than you expect from me, or might end up just being rubbish. Not that the two things are mutually exclusive, of course. Kenickie were three girls and a boy. While they weren't always the [...]

I can't remember if I've used this one already. Another day, another hastily assembled post, with a heartbreaking tale of love and loss. Kind of. Back to the hip-hop well today. Sing along if you know the words. If you don't know the words, learn them. Biz Markie - Just A Friend

Next couple of these posts are quite hastily put together. Celebrate the lack of rambling while it lasts, because next week things are going to get very long winded. My first impression of Hipster Death Squad "was that's an excellent name, will the songs be any good?", a few clicks later and I discovered yes, the songs were good. I'm not in love with everything they've done, and if you take a quick look at their Bandcamp page you'll see they are pretty prolific, but I've yet to hear anything bad from them, and there's a lot [...]
