Edinburgh Man Podcasts

I've managed to put my back out, crouching down and rummaging in boxes in the small storage space in the loft. Normally I record the podcast kneeling on the floor of a cupboard, but I decided that probably wasn't the best thing for my back. So I went out for a morning constitutional and recorded the show on the move instead. Expect dream-pop and post-punk riot grrrl music. Was any of this better for my back? Probably not. Probably not. [02:34] Thrower featuring Fuvk - My Brakes [08:58] veto noir - HOT GIRL SHIT [17:48] Mary Bell - Watch Me Disappear [23:19] Pau from Marc - Mountains [27:12] The Debasers - Lose Your Delusions Part 1 [31:50] Wine Pride - 1201 AM Unless otherwise noted, all tracks are released under Creative Commons licences.

Surprise! It's a new Edinburgh Man Podcast. The last year has been rather crazy at Edinburgh Man Towers. We had the attic converted, which involved a lot of banging, drilling and sawing. None of this is especially conducive to recording audio. Then today, I finally had some free time and relative quiet, so I thought I would record a podcast. But then I decided I should probably put a coat of paint on the new room first, so as I record this show I'm sore and shattered. I know, I know. Nothing has changed in the last year. [00:22] Zero Azúcar - Zero Azúcar [05:52] ELLiS·D - Drifting [14:41] Wonderflu - Milky Worlds [18:00] Final Passion - I Am Alright [22:52] Lace Banjo - Thumb In Ass [27:59] Julien Orlando - Fade To Black Unless otherwise noted, all tracks are released under Creative Commons licences.

Apologies for the somewhat variable release schedule for the podcast. January has been pretty busy, and unfortunately that busyness spilled over into February and the school holidays. But today, at long last, I have a few hours to myself to record a podcast and play the playlist that has been sitting and waiting since the first week of the year. Keeping with the theme, I'm also trying out a pair of varifocal glasses. So while I have some sort of notes for today's show, I can't really read them very well, so this is very much off the cuff. [00:20] RADICAL KITTEN - Never On Time [06:15] Dead Married - Alone [12:27] Swiss Portrait - Always [17:06] hidden driver - Whitman St Blues [22:24] Rustycore - Buick [26:06] Demonic Sweaters - The Precipice of Me Unless otherwise noted, all tracks are released under Creative Commons licences.

It's Hogmanay! The detritus of Christmas surrounds us. The last few crackers are left unpulled, a few lonely boxes of chocolates are still to be eaten, and we soon must deal with the looming bells of the New Year. All of which means that it is time for the Edinburgh Man end of year show 2023! The 25 tracks, as picked by your erstwhile host as being the best of all the music (or at least all the creative commons music) played on the show over the last twelve(ish) months. Hopefully you enjoyed listening to the podcast this year, and hopefully one or two of your favourites are featured in today's show. Have a great New Year and I'll see you in 2024. [00:02:03] 25.

I'm hiding away as I record this week's show - ostensibly the Christmas episode of the podcast. I've gone and left it too late and I now need to record the episode on the Saturday before Christmas, i.e. the first day the kids are off school. They are already at each other's throats and starting to get very annoyed by my continued asking when they are going back to school. Anyway, many thanks for listening to the return of the show over the last few months. I'm sort of getting used to doing these again, and for the most part they are weekly-ish. Hopefully next week (sometime between Christmas and New Year) I'll be able to squeeze in a best of 2023 show. But until then, Merry Christmas! [00:48] Slughole - Buried in the Snow (...My Mind) [06:30] Rotundos - Moving Day [11:05] Far Apart - Hazel [17:57] calostro - Vino [20:58] Mom's Home - good at first dates [26:52] Dating - Supercollider Unless otherwise noted, all tracks are released under Creative Commons licences.

Aye, the nights are fair drawing in up here in Edinburgh - sunset is something crazy like half past three in the afternoon. The photo accompanying today's show was taken while me and Thing 2 walked home from school today. Regular listeners will no doubt remember than Friday is a half day for the schools in Edinburgh, so even though this photo was taken at 12.30pm, the fuzzy lukewarm glare just above the trees is actually the sun. On today's show jangly shambling Christmas music from Sheffield, punk from Spain, shoegaze from Australia, and some brilliant downtempo surf rock from Columbus, Ohio's Vietnam II on netlabel blocSonic. [00:38] SHRUB - 12 Days of Shrubmas [06:25] ZUTATEN - Mancuerna [11:55] Angelo Celli - point of you [14:43] keep it together - Power Lines [20:40] Pine Point - Old Dog/New Socks [27:43] Vietnam II - Cargo (I Search Through the Night) Unless otherwise noted, all tracks are released under Creative Commons licences.

Urgh, I have a cold. That's the excuse I'm going for as to why the show has been delayed for a week or two. It's absolutely not because I was spending all my free time catching up on three seasons of Doctor Who before the 60th anniversery specials started. No it's not that at all. On today's show, mostly new tracks from releases that have been featured over the last few months. In one case it's because the track is a wee bit festive, and in other cases it's because they are great tracks that I wanted to play! There's also a new track from a fantastic new album "Lost Dogs" by keep it together on Seattle's friend's house records. [00:20] The Cosmonautopolitans - Mistletoe [04:29] Ballsy - Be Your Baby [08:41] keep it together - Dashcam [14:21] Shiv and the Carvers - Heart in a Jar [17:46] Libby Quinn - Jesus in Tokyo [23:36] Tossing Seed - Fall of Sweet Pea Unless otherwise noted, all tracks are released under Creative Commons licences.
