Edinburgh Man #95

May 10th, 2012

And we’re back! Apologies for the music repeat show last week. A 24 hour virus invaded the house and podcast duties had to be set aside for parental duties for at least a day. The slightly annoying thing was that after I had that massive cold and sore throat a couple of weeks back, I decided to record an “emergency show”. This is something I did last year with a couple of shows with tracks from K Records and Kill Rock Stars. Those shows were kicking about for ages before I pulled them into service, but this time I’ve used my backup show straight away!

Anyway, there’s a bunch of new music on today’s show. Well, newish, because it’s by and large the playlist from last week’s show. As a result, if you keep up to date with other Scottish blogs or podcasts, you’ve probably already heard most of these before. I don’t care. I like them, so I’m playing them.

It’s the emergency broadcast system… Something has gone wrong today. Illness or Internet probably. No matter. I had this spare podcast up my sleeve! Nothing new on today’s show, we stumble through the archive of bands or tracks that have been played before that we (well I) particularly like. Including the very first track played on the show.

Edinburgh Man Jr. joins us for the show too, and thankfully he keeps pretty quiet for the whole show. He is there. Honest.

2. “Blue Plastic Bags” by Malcolm Middleton (Played via Music Alley / courtesy of Full Time Hobby)
3. “Coquet Coquette” by of Montreal (Played courtesy of Polyvinyl)
4. “Pirates” by entertainment for the braindead (Played courtesy of Aaahhh Records / Released under a Creative Commons licence)
5. “Sad Blue Mountain” by Emilie Lund (Played courtesy of Aaahh Records /CC)

Imagine being ill on Record Store Day. Outrageous. This can’t happen again. I spent most of the weekend and the start of the week in bed, rather pathetically with just a cold. In my defence, it was a horrible cold. But a cold nonetheless. It did make Record Store Day pretty hard going. I had hoped to do the rounds of the record shops in Edinburgh, taking in in-stores at both Avalanche and Vox Box… In the end I only managed to stumble up to Avalanche, get most of the records I wanted to buy, watch Withered Hand and some of Gordon from Ballboy, and then stumble back home to bed. Next year I need to isolate myself from the world in the run up to Record Store Day… I don’t want to go through all that again.

So, it was almost a podcast with no music. Or rather, a podcast with no new music. I obviously didn’t source any tracks while ill. But in the end, as is the way of these things, lots of top new tunes appeared, and you were saved the fate of listening to me playing music that had been on the show before.


1. Alligator Indian – “Our Love Was A Crime” (Played courtesy of Alligator Indian / Bleeding Gold Records / Released under a Creative Commons licence)
2. September Girls – “Wanting More” (Played courtesy of Soft Power Records)
3. The Decent Lovers – “Abilene” (Played courtesy of The Decent Lovers / Released under a Creative Commons licence)

I wrote the rest of this blog post the morning before the show. It’s almost as if I jinxed it with the opening sentence…

Shockingly it all seems to be coming together. Since last weeks podcast Edinburgh Man Jr has slept through the night three times! On top of that, I’ve been to two gigs over the same period… In fact, one of those gigs was the Fence Records “Eye ‘O the Dug” festival in St. Andrews so really that’s like loads of gigs.

To celebrate this you get some rambling reviews of both Eye ‘O the Dug, which took places insides some incredibly old (and incredibly cold) buildings at St. Andrews University, and (The) Lemonheads, who I saw last night at the Edinburgh Picture House.

There are a couple of tracks from bands that played in St. Andrews, some music related to this Saturday’s Record Store Day events in Edinburgh, and more great music besides.


1. Paws – “Booger” (Played courtesy of Gerry Loves Records)
2. The Leg – “God Don’t Like It” (Played courtesy of Song by Toad Records)
3. Cinema Verite – “Turn Into Gold” (Played courtesy of Cinema Verite / Released under a Creative Commons licence)
4. Standard Fare – “051107″ (Played courtesy of Standard Fare)
5. Monoganon – “Monomania” (Played courtesy of Monoganon)
6. Schwervon! – “Dog Got Your Cat Tongue” (Played courtesy of Schwervon! / Released under a Creative Commons licence)
7. Town Hall – “Just Watching My Breath” (Played courtesy of Town Hall / Released under a Creative Commons licence)
8. Meursault – “A Mother’s Arms (Demo)” (Played courtesy of Song by Toad Records)
