Aye, the nights are fair drawing in up here in Edinburgh - sunset is something crazy like half past three in the afternoon. The photo accompanying today's show was taken while me and Thing 2 walked home from school today. Regular listeners will no doubt remember than Friday is a half day for the schools in Edinburgh, so even though this photo was taken at 12.30pm, the fuzzy lukewarm glare just above the trees is actually the sun.

On today's show jangly shambling Christmas music from Sheffield, punk from Spain, shoegaze from Australia, and some brilliant downtempo surf rock from Columbus, Ohio's Vietnam II on netlabel blocSonic.
