The organisers of Indian Summer, one of the highlights of last year’s Scottish musical calendar, have unveiled the first wave of their 2007 programme. The Flaming Lips (pictured), Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Rapture and Annuals are among the bands…
One website that really lives up to its name, Bloody-disgusting.com is the one stop shop for all the best in horror movie news, reviews and interviews. From the mainstream to the underground, daily updated news for all the gore fans and horror heads out…
Triptych festival returns for five days of mind-expanding music, DJing and film. As always, the weighty bill is sprinkled with some of the visionaries of modern music. Here we highlight five of the pioneers performing and reveal just how much worse off…

Mark Eitzel The erstwhile American Music Club lynchpin wears his heart on his sleeve and can write a love song that would break your heart clean open on one listen. Not a dry seat in the house guaranteed. Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh, Thu 19 Apr.
1 He plays the typewriter Chuffing on Gauloises and quaffing glass after glass of fine French wine, the 37-year-old’s live shows involve him hopping around variety of instruments, stopping off occasionally to bash away rhythmically at a typewriter like…
Acoustic Ladyland may have drawn their inspiration from music that first blasted ears four decades ago, but their scorching aural assault has broadened considerably from the quartet’s initial acerbic fusion of Jimi Hendrix, post-Coltrane free jazz and…
INDIE ROCK While many of us are quite rightly enthralled by the diversity of the current musical climate and all the breathtaking new bands it has to offer, Cold War Kids, despite being very much part of this climate, seemingly couldn’t care less.
The Fence Collective are often wrongly tagged as an exclusively folky bunch, but there is a much more diverse array of music on offer from its members. To showcase that fact, collectee Gavin Brown aka On The Fly set up De-Fence, an offshoot label…
CHILDREN’S MUSIC With their infectious rhythms and catchy lyrics, Farmer Jason’s songs have a wide appeal. But even he was surprised by the interest his CDs generated. As the Farmer’s alter ego, Jason Ringenberg, explains. ‘It seems adults are into…
POP It’s tough when even the music critics can’t categorise your band. Having been called everything from country, jazz, folk, rock, punk, funk, disco, bluegrass to reggae the Injuns myspace coyly asserts pop/indie/ other, where the ‘other’ can only…
ACOUSTIC (Lucky Luke) ‘Acoustic’, more often than not, equals folk music. Even though this is actually billed as ‘Versacoustic’ there’s still no one better to open a showcase than the band spearheading the genre’s resurgence - Lucky Luke…
Blonde Redhead 23 (4AD) Disarming, gossamer melodies get fuzzed out in this slightly more geeky (if that’s possible) take on My Bloody Valentine bliss.
ROCK The arch rock snobs on American music website Pitchfork decry this, the fourth Andrew Bird solo album, as brilliant, but not as good as his first three which were all pretty much perfect. Sadly, the colossal man hours required to be quite as…
JAZZ Sub-titled ‘A Celebration of the Mahavishnu Orchestra’, this project takes on the improbable challenge of recasting the music of John McLaughlin’s seminal electric fusion outfit for a big band, and succeeds triumphantly. The process involves…
ALT.COUNTRY Following her departure from Thee Headcoatees, this is Holly Golightly’s 14th studio effort, and after successful collaborations with Jack White, Mudhoney and Rocket From The Crypt she now teams up with long-time bandmate Lawyer Dave to…
ROCK The chances were slim but lightning did strike twice for Kings of Leon. They followed up a colossal debut with a considerable second effort. To presume they could manage a third would be churlish, no? Seemingly not. Their innate ability to…
FOLK Fiddler Lauren MacColl first came to wider notice when she won the BBC2 Young Folk Award in 2004. She is highly accomplished technically, but also has a genuine feel for the expressive nuances of the music, a quality entirely evident in this…
FOLK-COUNTRY A strange wee record this one. While Le Reno Amps plough a distinctly Scottish folk field, this Glasgow lot can nevertheless step into American alt.country when the mood sees fit. The excellent ‘How You Did Me Wrong’ and ‘Radio’ would…
HIP HOP Scottish hip hop is becoming an ever more tangible currency of late, and 21 year-old rapper Nafees is the latest addition to the pantheon. Part of the credit for this release, however - which rather confusingly bills itself as both a solo…
COVERS It’s not much of a leap of imagination, Patti Smith singing Jefferson Airplane’s ‘White Rabbit’, like she does on this odd album of cover versions. It’s practically her territory. More complicated are tracks like Tears For Fears’ late 80s…
(Herman Dune) It’s compare and contrast week at List Towers, so first up are a brace of female singers, and there couldn’t be more contrast between Amy Winehouse and Melanie C . The former’s ‘Back to Black’ (Island, 4 Stars) is a gorgeous…
POP ROCK As soon as the hallucino-vocals kick in, your ears will transport you a pair of decades back in time. The almost bored tones of little Linda Reid signal this first leg of The Jesus and Mary Chain reunion-of-sorts to be cemented when the…
MIX A big, fat, 29-track mix album by Spank Rock, last year’s boys most likely to. Featuring tracks by Miss Kittin, Hot Chip, Daft Punk and this year’s girls most likely to, CSS. It screams hip electro party album brilliance from the tracklisting…
PSYCH GOSPEL ‘Edinburgh was the best show I’ve ever done,’ said Jason Pierce, the heart and soul of Spiritualized, in Word magazine recently. ‘People stood up to clap. Ten minutes later they were still clapping. The band were crying, I was crying.…
CUT’N’PASTE FUN’N’GAMES If you’re looking for a gig with a difference, here it is. Human beatboxer? Check. Hula hoop artist? Check. Burlesque dancers? Check. ‘Giant balloon man’ (whatever that is)? Check. Right, let’s also get Lemon Jelly to DJ and…
