Show 69 – No Sniggering Up The Back !
Listen here or use the player on the right, though I’d love you to subscribe !
I’m afraid that family commitments once again mean that this week’s show is slightly lighter on the chat, and consequently a little shorter than usual. Think of this situation as a pre-Christmas treat before I hit my stride on the Christmas show, fuelled by mulled wine and an overwhelming sense of demob-happiness. Come that time you’ll probably be wishing that I was a bit less waffly and a bit quieter ! In the meantime, enjoy the return of a recent favourite and two newcomers to Three From Leith !
Stereomovers – Love Is
The return of the Stereomovers, buoyed by the reaction of the podcasting community to their excellent music. Another excellent track from their debut EP, Stereomovers, which you can treat yourself to for the princely sum of roughly £3.70 on iTunes (depending on the exchange rate).

Au4 – Hit and Miss
Another track which was brought to my attention on the wonderful Well Made Music podcast, hosted by Neil and created about a mile and a half along the road from the TFL studios. Bands which can create these soaring, haunting, layered choral vocals are a rare treat – when I find them (like gold at the end of a rainbow), it’s real treasure. Grab some more gold from them here on CDBaby or Tower Records, or download via their site.

Seagull Strange – Sullas Return
A band who emailed me out of the blue with the request that anyone could forward on this free track to friends, family and acquaintances to help spread the word, Seagull Strange ride the sea breezes with a great hook and an instantly memorable melody. Posing in a smart bar for their publicity pic just adds to their classiness.

Where does this show ??

So the legendary Scottish meanness with money is just a myth! The Hampshire Tooth Fairy gives a paltry (by comparison) £1 a tooth, and her French counterpart 1 Euro!
I had to remind myself of just what a nasty piece of work Sulla was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Cornelius_Sulla

So, the Scots’ Tooth Fairy isn’t as careful with money as everyone else north of Hadrian’s Wall. Her sister in Hampshire only gives £1, and when duties are subcontracted to the cousin in France, it’s 1 Euro.
I checked Wikipedia to remind myself what a seriously nasty piece of work Sulla was.

sorry – at home now. I posted the above from work and neither showed up. Can I break the record for most posts on one TFL? Excellent music, by the way. I play the Stereomovers ep quite often, and can heartily recommend it to your other listener.
