Scotland on Tour with Vic Galloway: Teenage Fanclub in Germany
Vic was in Austin with me this past weekend for the brilliant Fun Fun Fun Festival which is why this article is being published slightly later than usual.

Broken Records – ‘Let Me Come Home’ Reviewed
It’s a tricky thing, awaiting albums by bands who are personal friends. I don’t know what I fret about more, whether it gets a good reception in the wider press or whether I myself can honestly look the band in the eye and say that I like it.

Away Game was Officially the Best Thing to Happen to Music, Ever
I just don’t understand it. I mean, I came back from the most amazing musical weekend I think I have ever enjoyed, and instead of being interested and happy for me, when I start telling people about it they get this weird look in their eyes which looks just a little like blind homicidal rage. […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Endor
I have spent the past hour trying to write this introduction piece because I stupidly decided that it would be easy enough to come up with something half way decent (i.e. passable) whilst also trying to entertain a screaming baby.
