Edinburgh Man #131

May 16th, 2013

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 about watching Doctor Who behind the sofa – this is the scary one. Terrifying song after terrifying song, terrifying presenter after terrifying presenter, terrifying satellite link-up after terrifying satellite link-up. It’s incredible.

Anyway, enough about that. Tonight’s podcast wasn’t live. Not because I didn’t try. Something has gone wrong in the Intertubes, and I wasn’t able to fix it. So tonight it’s just me, and a slightly cheaper microphone.

Edinburgh Man #130

May 9th, 2013

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 sort of conciliation we start the show off with a great track from their new album. There’s also a play of the new single by Adam Stafford, both on Song, by Toad records. They really need to stop putting out such great releases, otherwise this podcast will just end up consisting entirely of their music.

It’s also a pre-recorded roaming outside broadcast as I walk through the streets of Edinburgh attempting to buy a coffee from Brew Lab…

1. Sparrow and the Workshop – “Flower Bombs” (Played courtesy of Song by Toad)

Best of Edinburgh Man Junior April 2013

May 2nd, 2013

No proper podcast this week. @doctor_nic is away for a couple of days so it’s just Edinburgh Man Junior and Edinburgh Man Senior in the house. Apart from the fact I’m going to be run ragged by the time podcast hour comes around, there is also the chance that the younger of us may wake up during the recording, which could result in a rather curtailed episode.

So, rather than leave you with nothing I thought I’d bash 8 episodes of April’s “30 days of biking” Edinburgh Man Junior podcasts together. If you already listened to these, then you can probably skip this, but if you missed them prepare yourself for bad quality field recordings and rambling beyond belief.

1. Tiny Fireflies – “Snow” (Played courtesy of Tiny Fireflies, Released under a Creative Commons licence)
2. Townhouse Woods – “Matching Sweaters” (Played courtesy of Townhouse Woods, Released under a Creative Commons licence)
3. Sarah J Stanley – “The Gardener of Eden” (Played courtesy of Sarah J Stanley, Released under a Creative Commons licence)
4. The Sulkies – “Fuck Age Forever” (Played courtesy of The Sulkies, Released under a Creative Commons licence)
5. The Spook School – “You Don’t Know” (Played courtesy of The Spook School / Soft Power Records)
6. Plastic Animals – “Test” (Played courtesy of Plastic Animals, Released under a Creative Commons licence)
7. Entertainment For The Braindead – “Pirates” (Played courtesy of Aaahhh Records, Released under a Creative Commons licence)
8. Swearin’ – “Snag” (Played courtesy of Swearin’, Released under a Creative Commons licence)

Edinburgh Man #129

April 25th, 2013

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 passing by Coda on The Mound to check out their new vinyl room, and finally heading down to Stockbridge to catch Wounded Knee on the steps of Voxbox… And all that before lunchtime!

I also popped over to Vino Wine Shop in Morningside to pick up a four pack of the special edition microbrewed Song, by Toad beer. Mmmm. Only one bottle left – the Magic Eye Red Rye which I’m going to crack open while recording the podcast.

Music-wise, there’s a track from the upcoming EP by Edinburgh’s Book Group, a couple of tracks from Record Store Day purchases, and a great track by A Little Orchestra featuring Ballboy’s Gordon McIntyre.

1. Book Group – “Year Of The Cat” (Played courtesy of Book Group)
2. Extra Feeler – “Sidewalk Crawling” (Played courtesy of Extra Feeler)
3. A Little Orchestra – “East Coast” (Played courtesy of A Little Orchestra)
4. The Ramisco Maki Maki Rocking Horse – “Danger Danger” (Played courtesy of The Ramisco Maki Maki Rocking Horse)
5. Mad Nurse – “Violent Dreams” (Played courtesy of Mad Nurse)
6. Zed Penguin – “The Letters” (Played courtesy of Song by Toad)
7. Blind Willie McTell – “Statesboro Blues” (Played courtesy of archive.org)
8. Low – “Lordy” (Played courtesy of Low / archive.org)
