It is of course Burns Night this evening.

Edward Sharpe isn't a real person, though I kinda wish he were. Created by lead singer Alex Ebert for a book he was writing about a messianic figure who "was sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind...but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love" this mythical figure now leads [...]
30 Rock has just released a soundtrack that encompasses all four years of the show that includes not only the original score but all the hilarious songs that have peppered the show with that special, ironical magic.

Back when we started this blog, Jay-Z's '99 Problems' was my JAM. Strutting my way through St. Andrews, Jay-Z screaming through my ipod as I made my way to the Art History department. Gangster. That was, gulp, five years ago but that song still blows minds. And The Prodigy seem to agree, they've just released [...]

In what has clearly been a serious labour of love, Athans has gone about collecting every bootleg he can find, and as well as making them available via his excellent The Blur Live Audio Archive, [...]
October 5th saw KT releasing her Tiger Suit upon the world. The Fife singer's 3rd LP (if you aren't counting KT Tunstall's Acoustic Extravaganza) has a lot of weight to bear: can Tunstall maintain the critical momentum that began with Eye to the Telescope and that she held on to with Drastic Fantastic, even if [...]
In further pursuit of my goal of turning TMS into a Belle & Sebastian fansite, here's the INTERNET VIDEO PROGRAMME that the band have been streaming on their home page for the last wee whiley. NOW WITH ADDED iPHONE DOWNLOADABILITY! I might give that a shot to see if I can get it on my [...]
