Video Killed The Radio Star - Round Up

Been a while since I did one of these posts, that celebrates the efforts of people with video cameras everywhere and rounds them up into one concise post for your eyes to enjoy.  So without further ado, here's some of the most recent Scottish music videos out in internet land.

The rather good Gold Flake Paint blog snaffled front man Jamie Sutherland from Edinburgh 6-piece Broken Records into a lecturer theatre and forced asked him for some new material from their forthcoming third album.  This video, an acoustic version of new song 'Winterless Son' is the result.

In case you didn't hear during last week, Endor are no more.  Which is sad.  However, happier news is that some of the band, and former members, have a new project Fake Major on the go.  They will have an EP out on the Comets & Cartwheels label in the spring.  This is the video for lead track 'Little Researcher'.

Ahead of supporting Frightened Rabbit on their February tour, Washington Irving have put together a video for their latest single 'Holy Company'.  The single was out last Monday, so check out the video and go buy it.

If you like snow, dogs, and walks, then you'll like this next video.  If you also like heartfelt lyrics, dreamy vocals, and gentle guitars then it'll be right up your street too.  It's a video for 'Lone Wolf', a track from Esperi's 'In A Moment, Emotion, Sentiment' album, which was out last year.

Isle of Lewis man, Colin MacLeod, a.k.a. The Boy Who Trapped The Sun returns from his absence since releasing 'Fireplace' in 2010, with a new video and a new song.  This is 'Last Call For The Boat'.

Scottish Fiction Podcast - 6th February 2013

After our birthday celebrations over the last two weeks, The Greatest Scottish Playlist, it was back to business on Scottish Fiction and settling into our new slot of 9pm to 11pm every Wednesday on Pulse 98.4 FM.  One of the best problems to have when making up the playlist each week for the show is having too much music to play.  It cements the fact that there's a constant stream of great music coming out of Scotland!  So in this show I've crammed as much in as possible, including new music from Frightened Rabbit, Biffy Clyro, Conquering Animal Sound, Sparrow And The Workshop, Washington Irving and much much more.  There's also our 'Aye Tunes Friday Freebie' track, a 'Re-Mixing It Up' track from The Twilight Sad, and a Franz Ferdinand cover of David Bowie takes our 'Cover Lover' slot.
