Recorded in a swelteringly hot studio after the end of an energy-sapping week, I’m afraid that I was sometimes finding it hard to concentrate and string a coherent sentence together during this week’s show. Please forgive me ! The music, however, is fantastic – even if the host isn’t at his best

Well, that’s it all away as far as ever it was… however, we had a fabulous time in Houston ! We were superbly looked after by my sister & husband Ron, did lots of really great things and I loved spending time with my wee nephew who is THE cutest little lad ever. Destined to be one of the world’s greatest drummers too – he loves nothing better than picking up his own set of sticks and banging out a rhythm on everything and everything he comes across. Perhaps I’ll be playing him on the podcast in a couple of years

By the time this show goes up, I’ll be far away from Leith and resting in the Texan heat in Houston. So – a few extra tracks this week as I didn’t manage to find the time to fit in the recording of any extra shows to go out whilst I’m away. Enjoy the selection, and I’ll speak to you all again on my return !

Well, the excitement of my upcoming holiday is building, and this week the show kicks off with a stomper of a rock track in recognition of the way I’m feeling ! I’ve been starting some initial packing after deciding on taking a very small case; most of the space is already taken by a box of goodies from home that my folks want me to take over ! But there’s nothing like home comforts for a Scots lass living in the land of the big Mac !! But before I get there, there’s a few more tracks to bring to you, so let’s get going.

One of the lovely things about podcasting is that you do, at times, get to meet with those far-flung listeners in the flesh if they happen to come to Edinburgh on holiday. And last Tuesday night, I went off to pick up Laurie from her hotel and take her down to Leith for few pints down by the water. The weather may have been lousy, but the pub fire was warm and the blethering was great. It was nice to put a face (and the rest of a person !) to the name, and to talk music and life. I’m looking forward to meeting many more of you over the coming years – so do let me know if you’re coming over !

Disorganised… me ? Well, yes I was this week. However, I was saved by a couple of tracks that came up on shuffle on the iPod on the bus on Friday night; they gave me the basis for a great show, music-wise. As for the usual banter ? Well, there are some REALLY crummy jokes in there this week. You have been warned !

The South By South-West Festival always sounds like such a fantastic event, and it’s something I’d like to get to one day if it’s still going by the time I can afford the trip ! Of course, given this week’s news I hope that we’re all still alive given the media hysteria over Swine Flu… So, since I didn’t get there I thought that this week I’d do the next best thing and play a few tracks from the 2009 opening night sampler along with the usual weekly tracks. So enjoy a little flavour of the Texas festival from the comfort of your own mp3 player.

It’s always really exciting when a band you really like bring out a new album after a long gap, especially when they’re an indie band and you have to buy the album from them in Canada. There’s that delicious thrill of anticipation as you wait for it to arrive, followed by the nervousness as you put it in the CD player for its first spin and hope it’s going to live up to expectations. Of course, there’s a HUGE blast of excitement when it proves to be an absolute stunner – which the new Papermoon album is. But there’s the same buzz when you hear ANY new music for the first time and it hits the spot – and that’s why I love podcasting and the many gems it brings to my ears every week.
