The Scottish Blogger and Music Sites Award (The Scottish BAMS) 2010
Last year Lloyd / Peenko set up what he rather amusingly called the Scottish BAMS, a collection of people who write Blogs And Music websites which are kinda Scottishy – in the sense that they must either be based in Scotland, or written by Scots abroad, such as the Daily Growl or your Dear Scotland.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay – The Artists’ Albums of the Year (Part 1)
As it’s that time of year when every man and his dog is drawing up their end of year album lists, I thought I’d ask some of the bands that have done interviews for us this year as part of Scots Way-Hay, to tell me about their favourite albums of 2010.

Vic Galloway’s Top 75 Albums of 2010
Yes, it’s the end of the year and time to compile a list of music I’ve liked over the last 12 months. This time, I couldn’t get the number of albums under 75! Sorry about that. It shows that 2010 has been a pretty incredible year for new releases.

It’s Not About Money, It’s Just About Love: The Life and Times of The Blue Nile…
This has been a difficult article for me to write. Not because the book that I am about to review isn’t good. It’s very good. It’s the new biography of The Blue Nile and it’s important to me to get it right. This is because The Blue Nile, or at least their music, play an […]
