It's been a loooong few months away from microphone for a number of reasons.  However I'm dee-lighted to be back with Scottish Fiction in the brand new radio studios of Pulse 98.4.  Perched at the very top of Barrhead, it's pretty picturesque with the view spanning all the way across the Clyde valley.

As for the music, well on our return I tried to pack as much music into the two hours as possible, so there's tracks from Poor Things, Lovers Turn To Monsters, and Aylee, as well as Machines In Heaven who take pride place as the first song on our Scottish Fiction Playlist.  There's also a track from each SAY Award Shortlisted album, plus Re-Mixing It Up and new features From The Vaults; a classic Scottish Fiction session track; and Around The World where we extend our music choices beyond Scotland.

Last August we dabbled with an all vinyl podcast which went down pretty well.  So naturally I thought it was time to dust off some records and do it again; but this time live in the studio for two hours!  Which given that our wee radio studio is not set up to play vinyl at all was a fun challenge!  So if you'll forgive the odd RPM mishap and some crackles, then dig into music from Errors, Jonnie Common, Withered Hand, Le Thug, Frightened Rabbit and more!

Scottish Fiction Podcast - 29th December 2014 - Top 20 Scottish Albums

What a year of music 2014 has been.  Unleashing new albums from stalwards like Mogwai, The Twilight Sad and We Were Promised Jetpacks.  Serving up blistering debuts from Honeyblood, Machines In Heaven, and Poor Things.  And seeing Young Fathers pick up the Mercury Prize.  All in all it's never been harder to whittle down our list of favourite albums to just twenty.

But I've managed it, and that's what this podcast runs down in reverse order.  As has become tradition at Scottish Fiction, our end of year radio show/podcast, unveils our top 20 Scottish albums from the year we are saying goodbye to.  I'll play a track from each album, so during the next two hours you can expect to hear from PAWS, Remember Remember, Jonnie Common, Beerjacket and more.  Who will be number one?  Well you'll just have to listen and find out.  Or you can sneak a peak at our blog post here.  Either way, look back on another excellent year for Scottish music, and enjoy the show!
