…and I come from far away…

Haven’t talked music recently, so how about I give you an MP3 and a video?

This is ‘The Race’ by Cajun Dance Party.  I first played it on the show weeks ago and I can remember Producer Dave and I talking about it not being as good as Amalyse and almost, almost, dismissing it. 

I have now realised that those were the actions of a moron.  The Race is in fact one of the best songs I have ever heard.  It sort of creeped up on me and through airplay on 6music and Xfm when I was down in Glasgow has invaded my head.  Much like how 4 of the remaining 5 found out they were Cylons in Battlestar Galactica.

Anyway have a swatch at the video

The other song that has invaded my head is Frank Turner’s ‘Long Live The Queen’.  Frank was gigging in Aberdeen and did a wee session for me.  The song and the story behind it are really rather beautiful.  You can listen to it by clicking below.

Comedy For Clan

MCing at the second annual Comedy For Clan fundraiser tonight.  I’ve organised it again this and year and it has been a bit of a pain in the arse.  What worries me most is that no one turns up and I have no money to hand over to the charity.

Here’s the poster what I designed.  I’m quite chuffed with how it looks.

Anyway, if you’re free why not come along.  It might be good, it certainly won’t be bad.
