Show 27 – Rock-ous Return

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Listen Here

Recorded last Friday after work, I was a little wired after a stressful and annoying day and this explains the slightly more exciteable me and the style of fantastic music that I picked for podcasting ! I was feeling in the mood for some rock, so digging through my playlist I came up with the great combination of:

Chris Gorman – Teargas
Chris’s MySpace
Email Chris via his MySpace page
CD launch gig ticket details here

The Acute – A Moment’s Brightness
Sex on a stick – The Acute’s MySpace is where you’ll end up if you go to their band URL
Email the guys via their MySpace page

The Rantings of Eva – Still Holding On
Rantings on MySpace
Email the band


Background music was courtesy of George Fletcher-Bourbon Renewal with ‘Rumble Groove’

Honourable mentions went out to:

Hugh Morrison’s Pure Brilliant Podcast
Finniston (upcoming gig at Caledonian Backpackers in Edinburgh)
Bukana (headlining said gig)
Jon and Rob at Top Of The Pods

Very business-like !

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

Rather than scrabble around to try to find a pen and paper at gigs to give people my podcast details, I’ve had some Three From Leith business cards made up. Rather nice they are too ! They’re actually double-sided with my postal address on the back, but for online privacy I’m only showing the front and I’ve blurred out my phone numbers.

A very nice job and a great service from Streetcards.

Show 26 – Santa to Saint Valentine

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Listen here

Welcome to Show 26 from the heights of TFL Towers here in Leith, where Saint Valentine will be passing this lonely old singleton by this year… awwww !! (please, dry your eyes and put those hankies away now)

But do I care ? Not when I’ve got a show brimming with love, talent and musical genius I’m not ! Fun, enjoyment and not a nagging in sight – what more could a chap want ? Heavens above, there’s an exclusive new track from TFL favourites and showcase stars Santa Dog, a treat from show newbies The Deltasun, and a track for snuggling up to with your Valentine from the ever-magnificent Hungry Lucy.

Who says that I’m not good to you ?!

Santa Dog – Rosa
From their new ‘Belle De Jour’ EP – snap up your limited edition copy now. Familiarise yourself with the goodness that’ll be in store for you come April14th.
Email Rowena, Robbie, Martin and Jojo and let them know what you think.
Visit their MySpace page and add yourself as their friend

The Deltasun – Self Help
Anthemic, alternative rock from the boys from South London. Their website is being updated, but the old one’s still there if you wanted to check out some photos of the band.
Email Martin, Omar and Lee with your comments and feedback

Hungry Lucy – My Beloved
A smoochy number from War-N and Christa for getting up close and intimate with whoever you have over this Valentine’s day. Reminds me of the slow numbers at the end of discos when I was but a wee lad. Check out their podcast and their videos – a duo of diverse talents.
Email War-N and Christa with a quote from Little Britain and tell them if your date enjoyed the musical accompaniment as you played tonsil tennis !!
Be a friend to the Transatlantic tea-jennies on their MySpace page.


This week’s Scottish Expression is ‘Well-skelped arse’

This week’s soundbed is ‘Space Stuff’ courtesy of Pierre Journel on the PMN.

Show 25 – The Silver Show !

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

Listen Here

(Apologies if this appears as a repost – having a few teething troubles getting iTunes to register the new site feed)

I can’t believe that’s show 25 reached already ! It only seemed like yesterday (though listening back to show 1 I’m glad it wasn’t) since I took a mad turn on a day off from work and decided to see if I could knock a podcast together. And my aim for the show is working – I received an email this morning from a listener who’d just bought the CDs from all three of the artists featured on show 15. Owen, you’re a shining example of showing commitment to – and helping to support – independent artists. Thank you. And a huge thank you from me and from all the bands and artists who you’ve all supported over the last 25 shows and hopefully will continue supporting for many more shows to come.

Three From Leith Showcase Gig – yes, it’s coming on the 14th April ! Featuring Santa Dog from Bristol with Chocyamo and Opal Sky from Edinburgh. More details in the blog entry below.
