Listen here or use the player on the right, though I’d love you to subscribe ! Here we are again, with the second of an extremely irregular series of 2 podcasts for 2020! What a year it’s been (or, in reality, hasn’t been – since we’ve been in lockdown or restricted for pretty much all of it). Missing family, missing out on a holiday in a warm country, missing being in the office and seeing my workmates, missing the distinction between a home and a workplace or indeed regretting the blurring between work and a personal life. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, now we’re missing out on the crumbs of family connection we were originally promised for 5 days over the Christmas period. Instead, it’s yet another lockdown and tighter restrictions. So, what better time to grab a beverage of your choice, put your feet up and listen to some great new music (and the TFL round-robin round up of my life since May?) Primes – Moment All India Radio – Moviestar Jonny Polonsky – Sign In The Window / Aenerone The soundbed was ‘The Shining Cosmos’ by All India Radio Three From Leith theme-tune by Alex Aitken Thank you for continuing to support the independent artists in 2020 by listening, feeding back and buying their music.

Listen here, though I'd love you to subscribe ! On this week’s show: TV Coma, Short-Haired Domestic and Mordecai Smith, Soundbed: Rodney Cromwell
Listen here or use the player on the right, though I’d love you to subscribe ! Well, doesn’t time fly when you have other things on your mind? Then throw in a running accident at the start of the year just as you’re thinking about getting back into the podcast fray, and you can kiss goodbye to another few months of your life. And then there’s Covid-19 and the lockdown. 2020 – the year that just keeps on giving and taking away. Still, here I am – dipping my toes back into the podcasting waters (and finding out just how little I could remember about how to do it). And with that, an apology for the vocal quality – when I recorded the “TFL number…” vocal, my setup was my podcasting mic via my audio interface into my new iPad Pro. However, when I recorded the main chat vocal a short time later, it appears that the internal iPad mics were used (although I was still hearing the output on my headphones via the interface as I recorded so it all sounded fine). I’ve tried to clean it up and EQ/ compress it to make it sound better – but there’s an obvious change to the usual quality. I hope it doesn’t spoil things too much for you. This was just a trial show to try and get me back into the swing of things, so hopefully I’ll get it right once I’m back in the groove!. TV Coma – Boomerang Short-Haired Domestic – A Song In Latin About The Importance of Comfortable Shoes Mordecai Smyth – The Sun Is Still Shining The soundbed was ‘Cassiopeia’ by Rodney Cromwell Three From Leith theme-tune by Alex Aitken Big props given out to: Made In The UK Show podcast – subscribe with this feed AMP’ed podcast – subscribe with this feed Thank you for continuing to support the independent artists in 2020 by listening, feeding back and buying their music.

Rising from a state of suspended animation entered in 2017, and now waking up, blinking, into the futuristic light of 2019, it's the return of the podcast that you all thought had died! Yes, here I am again to play some rather fine music and babble on a little between tracks – the same as I did in the good old days, but now just a few years further on. Forgive the rather rusty nature of the show – it has been quite some time and I'm just a little bit out of practice (evidenced by forgetting to mention what the last track played was or who it was by). In fact, the show runs to 50 minutes – which I only discovered as I was editing it last night – so it's almost twice the usual length. There are more tracks played in this episode, and I did ramble on a little longer than I'd thought I had between them; then again, there's a lot to catch up on! Hopefully you're still out there listening, despite the gap. If you are, leave a comment on the shownotes / email me / mention me on Twitter – it may just encourage me to podcast far more regularly again!

Listen here, though I'd love you to subscribe ! Here we go with the first show of 2016, as we reach the end of the 1st quarter. Where did the first part of the year go? Life's been busy and dealt the family a fairly awful knock, so things have all been in a bit of a tizzy. But I finally found the time to get some more great music down, interspersed with the usual waffle, to see you through until the next episode. Enjoy - and do let me know if you find any great new music yourself which you think the other TFL listeners would enjoy.

Show 293 is recorded and ready to go as soon as I receive a replacement copy of one of the tracks from the band’s PR. Unfortunately, the track cuts off prematurely and I somehow failed to notice it until I was mixing the show on Friday night after finishing the recording. As soon as the new version of the track arrives, I’ll replace the old one, mix the revised show down and have it up in a jiffy! <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1183" src="http://grantmason.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image-300x170.jpeg" alt="Mixing TFL293" width="300" height="170" class="size-medium wp-image-1183" srcset="http://grantmason.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image-300x170.jpeg 300w, http://grantmason.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image-768x434.jpeg 768w, http://grantmason.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image-1024x579.jpeg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /> Mixing TFL293
Listen here, though I'd love you to subscribe ! Welcome to the first Christmas show in many years - with the key difference this year being that there are no festive tunes featured (other than the festive intro and outros). Sit back with a hot mug of mulled wine and a mince pie or two and fire up the hifi or the mp3 player to enjoy an end-of-year selection of some of the best music sent to me over 2015.

Listen here, though I'd love you to subscribe ! This is the show that nearly never was; it was started months back as an intended 10th Anniversary Special, but it quickly became clear to me that it just wasn't coming together as I'd intended. The more I tried, the harder it got to record - until I reached a complete and utter standstill. Struck down with podcaster's block, I couldn't make myself record any more than the first third that I'd managed to piece together. I tried many times, and got to the point where I was on the verge of deleting the file and starting over, just to get past the psychological barrier. However, with the passage of time I was able to listen through eventually to what was there and I decided it was actually a decent podcast and could be finished off as a normal show, with none of the anniversary razzmatazz that was making me avoid going near it! So, the show has finally been completed, and features a fabulous trio of Scottish artists for your listening pleasure. Watch this lot - they're going places (even if it's just out for a bike ride in the case of the now-defunct Hotrod Cadets!) So enjoy - and do let me know how the new recording setup for this show (entirely iPad on a multitrack DAW) sounds.

Listen here, though I'd love you to subscribe ! Well, this was a first - a show recorded on the iPad, live, and flying by the seat of my pants! Other than a slightly fluffed vocal and soudbed coming in a little too soon at the end of one song, it went pretty well (although hearing what I said coming back through the headphones a fraction of a second after I said it was really off-putting). Still, it's good to try something different every now and again to keep you on your toes. Enjoy the tunes - there's a real feel of energy behind this week's selection.

Since there’ll be a new podcast tomorrow, I thought I’d better make sure the auto-publishing is working on WordPress! If this appears after being auto-published at 19:25, the show should follow in the early hours of tomorrow without any manual intervention. Stay tuned…..
Apologies – I appear to have been hit by the dreaded WordPress ‘Missed Schedule’ bug where scheduled posts fail to publish at the specified time. Unfortunately, I was so busy today I forgot to check on whether TFL had published at 5.30am this morning and only remembered tonight. And when I did, Show 287 was […]
Apologies – I appear to have been hit by the dreaded WordPress ‘Missed Schedule’ bug where scheduled posts fail to publish at the specified time. Unfortunately, I was so busy today I forgot to check on whether TFL had published at 5.30am this morning and only remembered tonight. And when I did, Show 287 was MIA…. I’ve rectified that now by manually publishing it so it’s now available to the world! I’m trying a temporary solution via CRON job on my web hosting for now – and if this post gets published I’ll know that it has worked and will be ready for the next TFL show’s publication date. Until then – cheerio!

As I found during the recording though, I need to rearrange my studio workspace to avoid having to lean in to reach the mic & knackering my back...

At long last – I have working equipment and will return next week!
I know – I’ve been absent again for a VERY long time. There have been a number of reasons for this, but the main one has been that the podcasting PC has not been working and I’ve not been able to record. However, the acquisition of a used laptop from an ex-work colleague in the […]
I know – I’ve been absent again for a VERY long time. There have been a number of reasons for this, but the main one has been that the podcasting PC has not been working and I’ve not been able to record. However, the acquisition of a used laptop from an ex-work colleague in the last week, followed by the purchase of an external soundcard, means that I am now finally up and running again and I’ll be recording this week for release next Tuesday (27th January). If there are any subscribers still there, thanks for hanging on and I’ll be in your ears again shortly!
Listen here, though I'd love you to subscribe !

I’m aware that there’s been a TFL drought these past two months. The energy to produce a show has been lacking, and now I’m off on holiday for two weeks. Hopefully the break away will refresh the batteries & rekindle my desire to record. In the meantime, thanks for bearing with me. Enjoy your summer!
Listen here, though I'd love you to subscribe ! Jings! Where did the time go? A combination of time & frustration with the PC thwarting a couple of attempts to record (three hours wasted when the wifi card software corrupted, anyone?) has kept me away longer than planned. I've also noticed that the comments validation plugin was broken, as was the 'Donate' button, so they've now been fixed too. So, let's get on and fix the bumper selection of music right now [tag]Vukovi[/tag] - So Long Gone [tag]Talia[/tag] - Thelma & Louise [tag]Kinetics[/tag] - The Ocean [tag]The Telenovellas[/tag] - Intergalactic Debauchery At The Red Light District Of The Moon / Queen Of The Moths [tag]Foggy Nocean[/tag] - George Orwell Was Right [tag]GUMS!

I’m fated to never get a podcast out when I want to. Tonight I’ve spend almost three hours trying to tag the podcast file in iTunes and upload it to the server. It’s there now, but I don’t have the time left tonight to write up the shownotes & publish it. That will hopefully come […]

Merry Christmas 2013 from Three From Leith!
Unfortunately, I’ve had another disappointing lack of good Christmas music this year so I’ve not been able to put together a Christmas show. However, why not enjoy a great show from a few years ago as you celebrate the festive season? The 2010 Christmas Special – brought to you from a sub-zero, snow-covered December Leith […]

However, why not enjoy a great show from a few years ago as you celebrate the festive season? The 2010 Christmas Special – brought to you from a sub-zero, snow-covered December Leith day.
