Happy New Year tae ye a’ ! Welcome to 2009 on Three From Leith, and part two of the 2008 Highlights: sparkling gems from July to December – as selected by yours truly. And this show marks the start of a TFL podcasting break; I’m taking a month or two off to recharge my batteries and take some time away from the PC / mic. Producing a weekly podcast is hard work, taking up time every day and then around 2 hrs each Friday and after over 3 years, I need a bit of a breather ! Don’t worry though, I’ll be back – keep your eyes on that feed

To see out the auld year and bring in the new, it’s time to run through my favourite tracks from each month of 2008. I’ve decided to split the show up into two parts, meaning it’s more easily digestible in this season of overindulgence. Enjoy, and pop back next week for a second helping ! Oh, and Happy New Year when it comes !

This week’s show will be slightly delayed due to the fact that I’ve been a bit busy with family recently. Fear not though - it will arrive as soon as it’s ready !

It’s that most wonderful time of the year once again…. yes, it’s the legendary Three From Leith Christmas Special 2008 ! Kicking off, like last year, with another rip-roaring version of Jingle Bells, you’re in for 45 minutes of top festive tuneage. Fast stuff, slow stuff, silly stuff, cheesy stuff, quality stuff – more stuffing than you could ram up a farmload of turkeys, in fact. Don your party hat, put down your glass of sherry and prepare to pull yourself another seasonal cracker !

Outspoken – ‘Punk Rock Bells’
Winzenried aka Hollywood Drunks – ‘We Three Kings’
The Hot Toddies – ‘Santa Baby’
Joey Murillo – ‘You Are My Christmas’
Jack Frost & The Christmas Band – ‘The First Noel’
Frisbee – ‘Christmas In My Pocket’
The Morrisons – ‘Sitting In A Trench’
Neil Murray – ‘Merry Merry Christmas’
The Hipcola – ‘Winter Wonderland’
The Moneyshot Cosmonauts – ‘Pink Christmas’

By the magic of Google Alerts, I just discovered that The Stage has very kindly given TFL a plug in its “Turn off the TV special: Pick of the podcasts” feature. I’m honoured - I’m mentioned in the same article as the BBC Friday Night Comedy podcasts, and Stephen Fry’s Podgrams.

Wow - I’ve got a warm glow all over now !

An unexpected invite out for coffee which then extended into a Chinese meal and an overnight stay at my parents, then an unexpected visit from the plumber and delayed Christmas shopping means that this week’s show was rather rushed. Not what I’d planned, but real life can sometimes take precedence over the unpaid weekly job !! Nonetheless, there’s some spanky new music from three old friends of TFL – even real life can’t spoil that.

Tired, with nothing much to say and in need of a rest and some ibuprofen for my head at the time of the recording, this week’s show settles into an extended period of trip-pop and new-age goodness. I can always tell when the year is drawing to a close and there are only a few more weeks of it left, as a weariness and a need for a break from work and commuting come upon me. This type of music soothes my run-down grey matter, and as the Christmas rush begins to head towards a peak, hopefully it’ll help relax you all too.

It’s a cold week, but the cockles of the TFL heart were warmed by a jingle, a Joey, some soul and a Frisbee. Have I been drinking or taken a knock to the head, or does this all make sense ? Listen and find out….

In a rare turn of events, this week’s show is an all-UK affair. By complete and utter chance, the tracks that I selected as making up a coherent ‘whole’ for TFL157 turned out to all come from this sceptered isle. So don your Brit-centric ears and cop a load of this.
