Change of pace and mood this week as I get much more laid-back, as well as playing a musical genre that I don’t think I’ve ever played before as a main track. I mentioned ‘Steamboy’, which I have since found out was the most expensive anime film ever made at the time of its release, and I let slip that I used to be a cellist in my dim and distant past. Who’d’ve thunk it ?! (*** WARNING – there are a couple of swear-words in the Whisky Galore tracks, so this may not be work-safe ***)

Very saddened to hear of the demise this week of one of TFL’s long-standing friends and fave local bands. Who is it ? You’ll have to listen to find out. On the more positive side, there’s a new band to the podcast kicking the proceedings off in energetic fashion and they’re definitely one to watch, as are another new Edinburgh band on the block ! So – an all-UK line up this week. Enjoy !

Apologies for the recent series of disasters that have befallen the TFL host and the TFL computer and prevented the release of a proper show for the last two weeks. Obviously, the fact that I’m writing this and that you’re seeing it and hearing the show is proof that all is now well ! So, it’s time to get back into the groove and there’s a show stuffed full of rock to help get the blood going and the feet stomping, starting with….

For the second time in under 6 months, the graphics card on my PC has died. This time the PC won’t boot up unless the dead card is removed, but even booted up it’s pretty useless when there’s no output to the monitor. I’m going to have to splash out on a new one as Dabs says the knackered card will be returned to the manufacturer for repair, which will take up to six weeks.

So once again dear listeners, TFL will have to take a week off as I’ll not be getting a new one for a few days so I have no PC to podcast with. This message is being composed on my ancient brick of a laptop, which has a 4Gb HDD and 128Mb RAM and is taking an age to do anything. Sadly, it’s so old it can’t handle the processing power required to run my podcasting software, and it doesn’t have the audio inputs either. I’m really (insert your swearword of choice here) annoyed as I have music stacking up and I’m suffering from podcasting withdrawal.

Keep your fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed that nothing else breaks down and I’ll be back with you next week. Now I’m off to check my bank balance to see what card I can afford….

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 !)

Gulls, southern blues, fleas and people going loopy – yes, it’s another eclectic selection from the big bag of TFL tunes this week !

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.
