Like watching a straw eat a melon

Two in a row! I wrote about Aidan last time, and now here's some more Chemikal news for your bottoms. Stewart and Alun, former delgados both, have put out the label's first ever podcast. It's great fun to hear them swearing, laughing at their own lack of consummate professionalism, and playing songs from The Phantom Band, whose album I ought to write about soon 'cos it's ace, and Angil and the Hiddntracks. And best of all, they phone up Aidan to get some comments from him - mostly involving more swearing. And you can hear the song 'Oh Men!' from his new album.

All this for free! World's greatest label! Here's some more info, or you can just download it below.

How to get to heaven from Scotland

From bad things come good things. Arab Strap called it a day, it was sad. Malcolm put out an album that was very good, it was happy. Now, Aidan Moffat and the Best-Ofs have an album too! It's called 'How to Get to Heaven from Scotland' and is due soon. All manner of activity at Aidan's web HQ, too - go to his Gifts page for a live version of album track 'Living With You Now', and a Katie Melua cover (?) with Alun Woodward (!) and some other goodies.


Keep an eye on the site, there's going to be a game on there before the end of the month. Here's a stripped-down live version of first single 'Big Blonde', and then its rather charming video. Aidan rocks the facial expressions.
