		<description><![CDATA[In due time for Valentines Day (even if this review isn’t) comes yet another candidate for one of the best records you’re gonna hear for some time, from the finest band in the UK.
I should almost stop there, as it says it all.  But, you lot like specifics, so let’s get down to them: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Calvin Party are one of those bands that I kinda missed.  I know there’s a few compilations kicking around here that they’re on, but they never really registered.  One of those indie bands benefiting from the growing acceptance that reforming isn’t the devils work. (A good thing we think.)  On the opening [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you reach a certain age, you begin to notice more and more folk in bands who you wouldn’t let over the threshold of the venue, never mind serve at the bar.  (In Glasgow, they often turn out to bed the bar staff too, which makes you feel really old.)  My point being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Has anyone come up with the genre post-pop yet? Can I commandeer it?  Because, seriously, trying to pin this down has been difficult.  The Starlets third long player takes all the dreamy ethereality(?) of post-rock and underpins it with stonking pop songs.  Imagine Sigur Ros with a fine line in toe tapping [...]]]></description>

But, such is the joy of someone so hard working as this man.  If you miss him one time he will be back around pretty soon.  As has been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Due to the tendency towards tea-time gigs in this city, we arrive at the venue to the sounds of a awfully ramshackle reading of Rockaway Beach.  This is courtesy of Scragfight, a local punker trio enjoying their first live foray. And, boy, does it show.
But, among the false starts and bum notes, there&#8217;s definitely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I surprise myself with just how much I&#8217;m looking forward to this Celtic Connectionsgig. Not least because the biggest cause of that is the chance to catch the reformed The Bluebells.  (A reformation that happened a while back, apparently, but seems to have slipped under my radar.)
Back in the early eighties, the Lanrkshire lads [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s one of the great things about Celtic Connections that whoever does the scheduling is either a genius, demented or couldn&#8217;t give two figs. As a result, you get some of the oddest combinations put together that actually work.  On paper this seems like really odd double-header.  But then you never know, putting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a bunch of boffins that have come up with a way of calculating what they call Blue Monday. Officially it&#8217;s the unhappiest day of the year; far enough from the festive season one way, too far from payday the other.  This year it falls to Buzzcocks 30th Anniversary tour to rock them blues [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite some time since I&#8217;ve felt the need to play an album so loudly. (And, I&#8217;m fairly certain when I last did it was some po-face slo-mo drone twaddle that I felt the need to either add as much dynamic or to deafen myself and escape the horror.) But, as the finishing line [...]]]></description>
