FLAC and Torrents Explained

With the Christmas releases and eventually our full back catalogue, we are wanting to offer free FLAC downloads as well as the usual MP3s. This basically means you can listen to the tracks in full CD quality. To lessen the load on our server with big FLAC files being downloaded, we are going to be using Torrents to distribute the files. This is not an expert explanation, but should let you understand enough to use them. All the applications linked to are free. FLAC FLAC is a lossless audio format, as opposed to MP3 which is lossy.

PVH! - Is this the return of Ven Hell?

I interviewed Gavin Will, the guitarist of the northern born group PVH who since have all individually moved to Glasgow to pursue careers in the rock n roll business. Anyway, the interview says it all.
Me: Hey Gav ma main man. Wasup? What's been happening? You're looking good. Gav: PVH ARE BACK, and will be playing a fucking riotous and righteous festive set on 31 December 2009 at the 13 NOTE, Glasgow.  Thats right, NEW YEARS EVE!!!! This is their first gig for TWO YEARS, so this will be some epic noise / sex rock (featuring all the classics) to welcome 2010 in! Me: Thanks Gav, that all sounds great. Gav: ...
Free download of their split album with action beat and vars of litchi available on WSP right here.

Just some cool stuff I found online

Lorna Gilfedder from Park Attack, one of the slickest bands ever, is playing in a band called National Jazz Trio of Scotland (I don't think the recordings are actually the trio?) at the Findo Fask night "Crufts" this Saturday 19th December at Nice n Sleazies. Also playing are Tangles and Findo Gask. I think it's £4 about 8? Scanning Vinyl - Some guy called Offer Springer invented a thing that can (sort of) scan the audio off vinyl as you would scan text from paper. It's pretty weird. http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~springer/ Moon Unit - totally smooth new glasgow band Moon Unit have put a track online in some weird online streaming thing that isn't my5p@ce. Rock it out your face

The Glad Café

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="403" caption="Glasgow's glorious southside"]Oh glorious southside[/caption] The focus of this post was brought to my attention by a gig that's being put on this Friday near Queens Park in the southside, Glasgow (111 Titwood Road - near Crossmyloof station. You can see it on the map above to the left of the big pond in the park).

Ultimate Thrush, Foot Village & Divorce @ CCA, Glasgow (10/11/09)

Chris White recorded some bootlegs of the sets with a portable hard disk recorder. Here they are for your pleasure Ultimate Thrush - Live @ CCA, Glasgow (10/11/09) Foot Village - Live @ CCA, Glasgow (10/11/09) The gig was good and lively - real 'up-for-it' Tuesday night turnout.

Ben Butler & Mousepad with drummer

This is pretty cool. Glasgow's grooviest groover Ben Butler has now moved to Berlin and plays with a drummer. According to their facebook they're in the process of recording an album. sick!

Somebody tell me the truth

John Maus @ The V Club, Glasgow (25/10/09) John Maus played for his second time (I think... as a solo artist anyway) in Glasgow last week. He was passing through on tour playing keyboards in some band called Chairlift who aren't worth spending too much time on unfortunately (IMHO). They were supporting some band called Phoenix (seen the poster round town? they look super lame) at the Arches.

Pot Luck @ the Art School, Glasgow (23/10/09)
