A bad cold, recovery in time for Pedal For Scotland and the event itself meant that I wasn’t able to devote the time to a normal TFL this week, but it did give me the excuse to put out another MixTape that I’d concocted recently. This is a bit more of a rocker than the last one !

Karma – ‘Tattoo’
Movie55 – ‘Anyone In There’
Czeduce – ‘Smashed’
Day Out – ‘Setreseze’
Death Of A Dancer – ‘Exit Body’
Bombing Run – ‘At Least’
Figment – ‘Shout To The Suburbs’

Three From Leith theme-tune by Alex Aitken

Swinging from Scotland to Australia via Spain in mainland Europe, this week is a bit of an trans-continental trip. I wish we had a little of the European or Australian weather here in Scotland; still very wet and now it’s getting very cold – I saw frost on the ground last week just after 6am. It’s been a depressing non-summer, so it’s time to cheer myself (and you) up with some great new music.

It’s time for the ladies to come to the fore again this week – 5 tracks from 3 artists, and with a mainly laid-back, trip-poppy feel to the show. Thanks to everyone who’s sent comments and emails recently, and a huge thanks to those who’ve sponsored me for Pedal For Scotland so far.

Many apologies – I didn’t manage to get a show together this week after time ran away with me. I’ll be back next week, but in the meantime why not take a listen to last week’s Made In The UK Show 30, where I made an appearance ?

See you on Tuesday !

After the punk of last week, and following a course at IBM, my brain felt very tired and worn out and in need of a rest. Hence this week’s more acoustic, laid-back feel – just the tonic for a weary mind and body, weakened by talk of ‘architected solutions’, ‘cohesion’ and ‘granularity’. Whatever happened to good-old plain English ?

This week, TFL comes over a bit punk. I seem to have had quite a few punk / alt-punk / ska-punk submissions recently, and I felt the time was right as I was particularly pumped-up and energetic at the time that I decided on the playlist. So, get the DMs on and start practising your best sneer as I play:
