Ugh. A cold again at recording time. Rather than subject you to my ‘Barry White with TB’ impressions and risk covering my pop shield in nasal effluent, I did a ‘great songs you may have missed’ podcast from shows 20 and earlier. Please enjoy and I’ll be back next week. (And don’t worry, this virus can’t be caught through your ears !)

From TFL16 in Dec 2005, Fourteenhours – ‘She Cried’

Gulls, southern blues, fleas and people going loopy – yes, it’s another eclectic selection from the big bag of TFL tunes this week ! You know I never like to stick in any ruts, so you’re always guaranteed the best varriety of indie and unsigned music here – free of charge, with the only stipulation being that you thank the artists yourself if you really like what you hear. And, if you can afford to, you help support them by buying their music. And now, on with the show:

Isn’t new music great ? It’s such a thrill when you receive it, and the anticipation of what it’s going to sound like builds as you either detach the mp3 or put the CD in the player and fire it up. All of this week’s music is brand new, and let me just say that none of it disappointed. A trio of Scottish artists and four new tracks for you to enjoy – what more could you ask for to help me celebrate another year on the planet ?

To be 125 or 126 ? After a second of thought I decided that 124.5 was really 125, so 126 this show is. With that out of the way, it’s great to be back in the podcasting groove again and there’s a top-notch selection of tunes this week to welcome back our weekly get-together. When the music’s this good, who cares that I’ve been away… And welcome to the world on the 11th March, baby Joseph, over there in Houston ! Your Uncle Grant can’t wait to see you.

Oh dear – family commitments ate into TFL time again this week, but rather than leave you for another week with no show, I’ve put together a very quick podcast with one (brilliant) song. I will definitely have a full show next week – the family situation is now back to normal !

This hasn’t happened for a while – an entirely Scottish show ! Whilst I do get submissions from Scottish bands pretty regularly, I never get sets that would fit together nicely into a coherent show. But at last, things came together with bands I heard from recently and bands I’d almost forgotten to play. I almost felt possessed by Mark Hunter… (and I got to avoid another syrupy Valentine show !)

Wow – what a week it’s been, weather-wise. We’ve had a wee bit of everything, proving the old adage of “if you don’t like the weather in Scotland, just wait five minutes and something different will come along shortly”. It’s certainly made for exciting and tough (but fun) cycling. So let’s segue into some exciting and fun music (arghh – the links get even more awful !)
