I must be getting old – as the turn of another arrives in less than 24hrs from the time you read this, I’m suffering like an old man with a sciatic back! OK, so I won’t be able to get up and dance around to this week’s artists, I’m still able to enjoy their fabulous music whilst I still have my hearing!

You can tell what kind of week it’s been when I suddenly reveal that I have lost my grasp on the basics like just what day of the week it is… Oh dear! Never mind, there’s still some fantastic music on offer – even if the patter’s rubbish!

I’ve finally completed the migration of the entire TFL media archive from Libsyn to my own hosting, so you’ll notice that the familiar top’n’tailing of the show with Libsyn jingles has ended. Other than that, there’s no difference to the show and I’m still here to bring you the usual selection of fantastic new independent music from around the world. Oh yes, and I’m still talking the usual rubbish too….

Astroman – ‘Riffzilla’

The Lotus – ‘Andromeda’s Mother’

The Hit & Mrs – ‘Mind Split Apart’

The Lotus – ‘Fall In Time’

The soundbed was ‘Ghost Song’ by All India Radio

Apologies for the unscheduled break so soon after getting going again in 2011. As I mentioned on the show, I’m having to move all 220-plus podcast media files from Libsyn hosting to my own site. As you can imagine, this is not a quick job and it’s tying up my PC & laptop for hours every night.

I’m just over half-way there now, and once that’s done I’ll have to back up my WordPress databases before attempting to replace every single reference to my mp3 file location with the new one!

Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t stuff THAT up :-O

I’l be back as soon as that’s all finished; see you then.

A rare treat this week, with three local bands (from Leith & Edinburgh) featuring. It’s been quite a while since this has happened, and it’s great to see that the local area is still capable of producing excellent new artists. If you’re local, or know anyone local that you’ve not heard on the podcast, give me a shout and I’ll see what I can do.

Letters – ‘Pipe Dreams’

Arran Arctic – ‘Daniel’

Thank You So Nice – ‘Running On Empty’

Letters – ‘Grand National’

The soundbed was ‘Solaris XL’ by Bryan El

First show of 2011, and the podcasting year gets off to a flying start with a special show featuring three premieres – 2 UK and 1 World! Probably the most exclusive show in the history of Three From Leith, and it’s nice that it stars old friends of the podcast in their new guise. Ladies and Gentleman, I present – The Easton Ellises!

The Easton Ellises – ‘Liquorstore’ / ‘Yakuza Baby’ / ‘Sex Like Art’

The soundbed was ‘Acquiring Satellites’ by David Arkenstone

Here we are again, almost at the end of the year, and it’s time for the legendary Christmas Show! Delayed by a few days due to the late provision of recorded parts from Jasna, I was almost scuppered again when the software crashed right at the end of the 2hr period of recording, and lost everything other than the first three tracks! Fortunately, I’d enjoyed putting it together so much that it wasn’t a hassle to do it again; any excuse to listen to all the tracks one more time:-) So, suck on a sprout, wrap your molars round a mince pie, tickle the turkey and immerse yourself in a fantastic seasonal musical selection box. Enjoy & have a wonderful holiday.

Winzenried aka Hollywood Drunks – ‘We Three Kings’

Cathedral Brass – ‘Joy To The World (Mocean Worker Remix)’
