The Social Services = Tall Tales

HOWWESANG | Tall Tales
The Social Services are now Tall Tales . And they're now also based in Glasgow which means I'm less likely to cover them, but that doesn't mean you should stop paying attention.

Mariah Carey's Hospital Visit By Social Worker (Video)

Mariah Carey's Hospital Visit By Social Worker (Video) Like with most new mothers, nurses and hospital staff try their best to help women with things like; how to improve the production of breast milk or how to properly feed your newborn child. So it would seem that Mariah Carey also received this kind of advice while she remains in hospital following the c-section birth of her twins. A nurse had apparently told the singer that a small amount of dark beer such as Guiness would improve the production of [...]

'Good Bye' The Social Services....'Hello' Tall Tales

HOWWESANG | Tall Tales
It's been a wee while since I have mentioned anything about The Social Services, since we last caught up with them back in August last year . Since we last heard from them they've been busy readying new material and changed their name to Tall Tales. I caught up with Lucy from the band to ask her about the change of name and what future plans the band have. Why the change of name? I suppose it's a lot to do with the context [...]

The Peenko Show on Fresh Air - Episode #2 (11/08/10)

This was the second show that I did for Fresh Air, joining me that week I had Boab from Campfires in Winter in to co-host/try and keep me in check. Not sure if he fully managed it or not though! On the plus side we did get to play loads of great music, including two exclusives (at that time) from Come On Gang! and the mysterious Let's Talk About Trees. The banter may well be pish, but the tunes are top notch! Tracks Played 1. Come On Gang! - Fortune [...]

Peenko's Scots Way-Hay! – The Social Services

It's a funny wee world. I have been running the Peenko blog for almost two years and I honestly can't quite believe how many cracking local bands I have 'discovered'. The one thing that I hadn't fully expected was to have my little sister ask me if I had heard of one of her best [...]

Scots Way-Hay #28 - The Social Services

Scots Way-Hay #28 - The Social Services It's a funny wee world, I have been running this blog for almost two years and I honestly can't quite believe how many cracking local bands I have 'discovered'. The one thing that I hadn't fully expected was to have my little sister ask me if I had heard of one of her best friends from school, Emma's band The Social Services. Here was a band who's album, 'It's Nothing Personal, It's National Security' I had on heavy rotation when it came out last year, and now here was my younger sibling announcing that the record I'd been enjoying had [...]

The Dog Ate Jenny's Homework

The Dog Ate Jenny's Homework [ The wonderful Jenny Soep returns this week with more of her spellbinding illustrations, and one or two interesting matters to raise. This post was originally pencilled in for last week, hence some of the dates needing correcting, and Jenny apologises and explains further below. Even though Jenny did in fact get the article to me on the Sunday as promised; in the end, unfortunately, it arrived a little too late to be published: my inbox records the email's arrival at 11:58pm! ] Hello there.

Live in Edinburgh This Week – 17th May 2010

Live in Edinburgh This Week – 17th May 2010 I'm afraid the gig listings this week are going to be little more than a great steaming post of Toadspam. We've a lot on this week, and I'd hate to think you'd let other people's wonderful creative efforts distract you from the fact that the most important thing you can do this week is give a needy, gin-soaked virtual amphibian a bit of validation. So as such please bear in mind that it is most definitely NOT the This is Music fourth birthday celebrations this Friday, and Meursault are certainly NOT going to go down to Sneaky Pete's [...]

To The Stars: Coversongs of Space

To The Stars: Coversongs of Space It starts with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Goodnight Moon, and before you know it, you're out in the yard long after bedtime, the winter cold against your upturned nose, holding hands with Daddy and tracking yellow-red Mars through the trees on a clear and moonless night. From there, looking up into the dark for more than a moment is never done without soulsearching. Summers, we lie on our backs in the folk festival fields to watch the meteor showers, and wonder at how brief the light, and how hot the distant [...]

A Guide to the Archives (Download NOW while you still can)

As I have mentioned before, due to unresolved issues with box.net I am currently in the process of changing hosts for the songs. This has drastic implications for this blog as it means that come July 1st (Wednesday) the vast majority of the song links on this blog will die. Let me repeat that. On Wednesday all the songs on this blog will become unavailable! Download them NOW!!! It's a regrettable situation and if you keep reading you'll see a way you can help make [...]

The Social Services

The Social Services Conocí a The Social Services hace un tiempo en indie-mp3 , en donde tuve la ocasión de escuchar por primera vez The Baltic Sea, una canción, que dicho sea de paso, ha sido escogida como una de las mejores diez del año, dentro de la selección que dicha web ha llevado a cabo. El grupo está formado por dos chicas escocesas, llamadas Emma Naismith y Lucy Cathcart, y un chico de Suecia (Martin Frödén). Durante la primavera de 2008 grabaron su álbum de debut "It's Nothing Personal, It's National Security", el cual se puede adquirir desde su [...]

ein post - ein song #35

ich weiß, ich nerve euch mit schwedischer musik. aber disen song müsst ihr euch auf jeden fall anhören: the social services - the baltic sea (es existiert leider kein video, aber der song lässt sich auf der bandhomepage kostenlos downloaden) ... und die schwedische regierung sollte den song als neue hymne einführen. (in schweden ist auch schon ein album raus: the social services - it's nothing personal, it's national security (seit 13.10.2008, stereo test kit) )

MP3: The Social Services - Seven dwarves

Swedish/Glaswegian trio The Social Services impressed me from the moment I first heard them and now that their debut album "It's nothing personal, it's national security" is finally out, it's time for me to heap on more praise. Seriously, they're a great band and if you still haven't checked them out by now, it's time you got on it. Today's track is "Seven dwarves" , a jaunty little pop song with an uplifting, esteem-boosting message. As the band themselves describe it: An American indie blog once wrote a few lines [...]

The Social Services

The Social Services The Social Services are two thirds Glaswegian and one third Swedish, so that explains their combined love of nature and cholesterol. Their nomadic lifestyle and frustration with the world around inspire them to write songs about: war, death, consumerism, immigration, storage solutions, potatoes and swimming. They rant without being shouty and love it when everybody joins in on the sing-a-long choruses. Based in Stockholm, they combine a songwriting tradition and melancholy of their Scottish roots, with the melody and playfulness of Swedish indie-pop. They create music with a brain, that makes you want to dance around without thinking. The Social [...]
