Tonight I'm out! I'm not quite sure how I've managed to go so long without being out on a Thursday night. Anyway, the lure of a free bar tempted me away from the podcast, so we have a pre-recorded one instead. And it's …
I know, I know… I said I wasn’t going to do a live podcast this week. But I couldn’t help it. I had planned to go down to the after-show party for today’s Leith Late, but for some reason my body …
Technically this was the most ambitious podcast yet. And it didn’t work. The plan was to have a phone call chat with Brian Pokora from The Last Battle about the Wee Jaunt festival at the weekend. But it …
If you were unfortunate enough to tune in last week you’ll have heard me moaning about a broken dishwasher. Don’t worry - it’s been replaced, so there’ll be no moaning this week. However the cost …
It’s been very difficult, let me tell you, but I’ve managed to drag myself away from L.A. Noire (yeah - what is the score with that extra ‘E’), and washing dishes, for half an hour to make another …
Another ramshackle live podcast! Or rather it was. If you’re reading this now then it’s all over and the dust has settled. Actually, apart from the live part it was quite relaxing, with a couple of slowcore …
I had lots of music for today's podcast. Loads and loads actually. So much so that I got a bit stuck trying whittle it down. I was also going to do another live one, but in the end time, and the fact I was feeling a bit …
I just recorded this podcast about 30 minutes ago. And like a crazy person I recorded it live… and actually broadcasted it live too! And people actually listened! What I’m trying to say is that it was even …
I’m on holiday this week. Because some uninteresting people are getting married, there’s an extra public holiday this week in the UK. Add to that the holidays for Easter and May Day, and you’d be …
Last weekend was Record Store Day, and I seemed to spends lots of money on a whole stack of vinyl, and saw some great live music. It all started at some ridiculously early time of the morning, and when I got down to …
Madness. I’ve left recording the podcast to the last possible minute. So it’s about as “live” as you can get with this sort of thing. It was also a bit of a nightmare to record. I ended up …
Last week's podcast had the most likes on Facebook so far! A whopping 16! Thankfully many more people listen to the show than "like" it, but still - I was impressed. Perhaps this is because the show was a chilled out …
Sit down in a comfy chair, pour yourself a big glass of wine, and chill out to today’s relaxed podcast of indie folk tunes. Yep. A couple of days ago I hadn’t even made a playlist for the show, and when I sat …
The podcast is on location! Recorded in a hotel room in Athens, underneath the Parthenon, although there’s nothing very Athenian about it… except the rambling chat, and the background noise of traffic. …
A pre-recorded show! I’m busy this week, and in anticipation of that fact I recorded this show last week! In fact, only about 48 hours after the last show. As a result, it’s light on chat. No new gigs have …
On today’s podcast… my ears seem to be returning to normal! Helped no doubt by the fact I’ve been wearing earplugs at gigs recently, including a brilliant gig with Zoey Van Goey and Withered Hand - a …
It's a full on Scottish music podcast this week. Well, okay, it's a 50% Scottish music podcast. Three bands from Scotland, and three bands who aren't. Two of the Scottish bands are from Edinburgh too! I got a bit …
Not much to say about today's show, except that it's a miracle I've managed to get it together at all. Here's a tip for any nerds out there, if you use Filevault protection on your Mac and then upgrade the hard drive, …
My ears are still ringing from the Come On Gang launch album gig on Saturday night. But I just about managed to hear enough to pull together this podcast. Outrageously, I didn't notice the multiple "Astronaut" …
How exciting! I’ve just discovered uneaten (although slightly broken) Christmas chocolate in the cupboard, so it’s a chocolate fuelled podcast. Surely one of the best kinds. On today’s show, I’m recovering from a …
It seems to be ridiculously stormy outside in Edinburgh as I record this. I even got covered with snow on the way into work today. Crazy. Anyway, I'm tucked away in the back room, since this seems to have the least …
It's Burns Night! Actually, that's a lie. It was Burns Night. More specifically it was Burns Night when I recorded the show. That's my excuse for consuming two glasses of whisky while recording this week's podcast. That …
So, I've had three weeks to put this podcast together, and it almost fell apart at the last moment! Yesterday my hard drive died. I just amount managed to recover the most important files (the music for this show) …
2010 is almost over, and so is our countdown of the best tracks of the year, as voted by myself, and the listeners of the podcast. Fuelled by a glass of port and some Christmas chocolate, we listen to the tracks from …
