It’s “Ladies’ Night” this week on Three From Leith, as sheer coincidence meant that the third artist arrived just in time to finally complete the trio that had been sitting forlornly as a duo for weeks. I really love it when shows come together like that, quite by surprise.

Shower retiling ate up my day! Back next week when I have some recording time

Update 02/12/2011 – and the tiler was back tonight to fit some edging & apply some more silicone sealent, so once again my podcasting time was eaten up. So – next week! I’ll (hopefully) be on holiday by then and should be able to get a podcast together before the Tuesday!

I was on holiday on my normal recording day and, running out of time to put a show together by the time I sat down at the end of a busy evening, decided I would take a week off.

See you next week as we creep inexorably towards the the end of the year…

Time to head north of the border for this show, featuring three new Scottish bands – one of which has featured before, but the other two are TFL virgins! As well as the great new music, there’s some great news. You’ll have to listen to find out what that is, of course…

Well, the laptop is alive again and just to prove it, I’m writing the shownotes on it once more from the comfort of the settee on a Sunday night! It’s strange, all of this podcast timeshifting; recording on a Friday based on music selections I’ve received in the past, with a playlist I have roughly decided in advance, then shownoting it for a release date that’s in the future (as a write). So – enjoy the music of the future from your pal in the past. Oh, and are we all using personal jetpacks & eating dinners in pill form yet?

The Kush – Aniseed

Stone Antica – They’ll Strike You Out

Tone Puppets – India Kind (The Killaflaw Remix) / Ignore

The soundbed was ‘Solaris XL’ by Bryan El

You know those days when nothing works or goes right? Well, this recording was done on one of those. It was a struggle to start it, a struggle to get through it and a struggle to end it without something going amiss. Still, I managed somehow. The music’s great, even if the host is a bit on the flakey side this week…

Go Tell Apollo – Catch 22

This Is Lizzard – Won’t Give Up

The Easton Ellises – Ersatz / SexDrugsRockandRoll
