Edinburgh Man #144
For the first time in ages I’m actually going out to a gig tonight! I know! The launch gig for RM Hubbert’s new album, featuring a spoken word set by Aidan Moffat - should be a top night out. Anyway, as a …
Edinburgh Man #143
The podcast returns after a brief (one week) hiatus. Apologies - last week I was in a bit of a funk so there was no show. Many many apologies for this. It doesn’t happen very often (does it?). I should really …
Edinburgh Man #142
Sea salt and cracked black pepper pretzels. Cheap gin and cheap tonic. Surely the two required ingredients for a top podcast? On today’s show I tried really hard not to ramble very much, but things didn’t turn out quite …
Edinburgh Man #141
Well this is weird. The podcast is back! After three weeks off we return with loads of great new music. Well, mostly new music and one or two older tracks. In actual fact, while the podcast has been on a break I …
Edinburgh Man #140
I do realise that many of my podcasts contain the words "I'm shattered", followed by some lame excuse about how I'm not going to a gig. Tonight is no exception. Remember all those podcasts I used to do where I'd review …
Edinburgh Man #139
I’m writing this blog post while at a gig… I know, I know. I should be looking at the band. It’s Matt Norris supporting The Last Battle. He probably thinks I’m on Facebook or something. Anyway, …
Edinburgh Man #138
I was actually a little bit nervous just as I sat down to record this podcast - the first live podcast in a month or so. Luckily I had the foresight to pour a nice glass of Dalwhinnie. DALWHINNIE! I’m sure at least …
Edinburgh Man #137
We’re back! Not only that but summer seems to have arrived in Edinburgh. Like REAL summer. Hot and sunny and generally rather wonderful. So wonderful that I couldn’t really face being cooped up inside …
Edinburgh Man #136
A pre-recorded podcast tonight! Doctor Nic is leaving the Edinburgh Men (Senior and Junior) for a while, so preparations are afoot every evening this week. As a result, instead of the regular live show there’s a …
Edinburgh Man #135
A Friday night podcast. How confusing. And how rock-and-roll. I forgot that last night was Leith Late, where shops and pubs all along Leith Walk have special events and in-stores. Actually, perhaps saying “I …
Edinburgh Man #134
THE LAZY EDINBURGH MAN MID-YEAR REQUEST SHOW! Look at all those wires! That’s the sort of nonsense needed to do the lazy Edinburgh Man mid-year request show. Yep, for the second year in a row I’ve been really …
Edinburgh Man #133
The irrelevant photo accompanying this week’s podcast is because I’ve been continuing to walk to work for the last month. 7 miles round-trip each day in an effort to be less fat. By-and-large this is working, …
Edinburgh Man #132
What…? WHAT…!? I’m starting off the podcast by playing some Disco (or DIYSCO to be more precise). What is going on here? Yep, it’s an upcoming release on Soft Power Records from Dublin’s …
Edinburgh Man #131
I know I know that I shouldn’t… especially when there are at least two great looking gigs this Saturday night, but I can’t help myself. It’s Eurovision. Car crash television for sure. Forget …
Edinburgh Man #130
Poor Edinburgh Man Junior… Last he surprised us with a late night vomit. Lovely. As a result Edinburgh Man Senior’s plans to go to the Sparrow and the Workshop launch gig tonight have been cancelled. As some …
Edinburgh Man #129
Oh, man. I spent too much money on Record Store Day. Such a sucker. On the plus side I have lots of cool new vinyl to listen to, so there’s that. The day itself was good fun - starting off in Avalanche, then …
Edinburgh Man #128
Another exciting early podcast. As I was recording this my throat was getting progressively croakier, but I soldiered on like a trouper. I’m sure it was only a couple of weeks ago I last had a sore throat. Kids, …
Edinburgh Man #127
Right. What’s been happening this week? I’ve been doing a daily podcast at junior.edinburghman.com for #30daysofbiking. Initially I thought it would be an interesting daily podcast where I cycle to glamorous …
Edinburgh Man #126
A “secret” “live” podcast this week! Normally I do the podcast live. 8pm every Thursday (put it in your diaries). This week, however, I did something a bit different. Basically getting the live …
Edinburgh Man #125
Sniff, sniff, sniff… Yet another cold thanks to Edinburgh Man Junior’s snail-like trail of snot he’s been leaving around the house. Just in time for a four day weekend too! Woohoo! As ever, I planned …
Edinburgh Man #124
It’s one of those weeks where I feel like I’m just fighting off tiredness. There’s been a lot of those of the last year of so. To be fair, today I actually am fighting off tiredness. For the purposes of …
Edinburgh Man #123
Thursday again! The weeks just fly by don’t they? You know, I think I’ve missed the three year anniversary of the podcast. It was sometime towards the end of February if my memory is correct… which it …
Edinburgh Man #122
The plan was to do this one live for the first time in a couple of weeks, albeit an hour earlier than normal. Basically over the last week or so Edinburgh Man Junior has been waking up in the evenings… and waking …
