I've delved into the tartanpodcast archive to select what I consider the best and, in some cases, defining episodes.

Today it's tartanpodcast #11 where I played, for the first time, all Scottish artists, all of whom come from Glasgow.
Orginally released on April 25th 2005, you can tell I didn't have proper studio gear yet.
A true turning point for me as a podcaster, tartanpodcast 11 was when I knew it had to be all Scottish, all the way.

Hope you enjoy it!.

This is part 1 of my favourite 15 songs of 2006.

• Karine Polwart - Waterlily (Live)
  I heard Karine peform this track live at the Darvel Music Festival last summer. Tremendous lump-in-the-throat stuff
• Frightened Rabbit - Go Go Girls
  I like the intensity
• Phroyter - There's Always Someone Else
  Not sure what I can about this track other than it reminds me of warm Sundays
• The Boy Lacks Patience - A Boat To Your Father's House
  Great live, great album, buy it today.
• Gum - Cross Your Heart, Hope To Die
  Stand out album of 2006, you should own it already.

It's experimental although it has been done before...

Inspired by Cameron Reilly's endeavours with The Podcast Network, I've put up a 30 second ad slot on eBay.

Will it work, will I be left looking embarrased with egg on my face or will it help fund the next wave of the tartanpodcast studio (see the wish list)?

We'll know in 7 days.

The auction can be found here.

Funds raised, if any, will be channeled into upgrading the tartanpodcast studio to allow me to record bands performing live and interviews right here in my home. My Google wish list details some of the gear I want to get.

It's been a while coming but there are finally ads (well, an ad) in the tartapodcast.

It's one of those spoken word endorsements where I endorse a service. And it's not just me endorsing it. No, I have my 6 year old son and 20 month old daughter shilling it also.

The service is www.netfreeipods.com and all you need to do is enter 'tartanpodcast' into the first page, then follow the instructions to get a free iPod Nano. I've had a look over it and it seems legit, but be sure to check it our for yourself and remember to enter 'tartanpodcast' in the box.

Anyway, go over, sign up and help me pay for Cameron's school shoes.

Edinburgh's alt-country kings Dropkick are set to release their fourth (?) album entitled 'Obvious'. The release date is 22nd July and will feature a launch party at Caledonian Backpackers in Edinburgh. Full details on their site, link below.

If you're a podcaster in the Edinburgh area head along and we'll meet up as it's likely I'll be there.

Look for a review of the album here soon, my advance copy arrived this morning and while I haven't had the chance to listen to it yet (3 albums arrived at once from various bands) the cover and sleeve art is genius.

Until the 22nd of July you can sate your appetite for new Dropkick material by visiting their MySpace page where they have two new tracks.

While you're clicking outwith tartanpodcast.com, be sure to visit my Scotcast page and throw me a vote/review. Huge thanks to those who have done so already. Cheers guys.

Dear Diary,

It seems like a long time since I wrote anything of substance here. Well, that's because I've been busy. You know what it's like, Diary, work, family, football, they all eat time.

Of course I've been busy working on the Mellow Monday Show and the Old Firm Podcast. I've even made up a new picture for the Old Firm Podcast. What do you think?

I hope you can listen to it when you get the chance. I've been playing about with iWeb on my Mac computer, creating little websites. It's been fun.

The summer holidays are almost here, so I'll be off for a bit, but I promise to make sure there are enough Mellow Monday Shows to keep you going.

I've changed the feed for the tartanpodcast, so if you aren't subscribed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/tartanpodcast please change over to it now. If you've got iTunes just click here. If you don't want to use iTunes, just install Winpodder (if you're running Windows), I've put a link over on the right. The man who created it has included the tartanpodcast as one of the default subscriptions, which is very nice. It's weird though, I seem to have lost a lot of listeners this month. Maybe messing about with the feed has something to do with it. Oh well, hopefully you'll all come back.

A lot of people have completed the listener survey, which is very kind, thanks. I got an email with all of the information you've written in the survey. I got to find out the things you like most and least about the tartanpodcast. Very interesting! Some of you like it when I talk, some of you hate it. One of you really doesn't like my sense of humour. If you haven't filled out the survey, please take a few minutes to do so.

The Hollywood Podcast has be brilliant recently, with host Tim really letting the listeners into his life. Fascinating.

Podcast User Magazine is coming out in a week or so. I've finished my 'Mark: My Words' column. I've written about Podshow coming to the UK and podcasters back-pedaling as a result. I've also created the magazine cover again this coming month. The magazine is still free and even though the publishers didn't make big grand promises at the start, it's managed to reach 6 issues, being the world's first podcast related magazine.

Ok that's about it for now, Diary. Hope you're doing well.

Mark

Why does it have to be so complicated?

Anyway, what was happening was this; I was putting the shows up on Libsyn as I'd always done, but Libsyn and Feedburner - who I used to measure the subscribers - weren't talking nicely to each other; the shows weren't showing up on iTunes or in the Feedburner feed.

So I deleted the Libsyn feed from Feedburner and then tried to reinstate it, but it was rejected by Feedburner for being too big; it contained every single podcast I'd released apart from the first 3.

I downloaded Feeder and used that to create a brand new feed, which would then be used in conjunction with Feedburner. And that seemed to work nicely, plus it gave me more control over the content of the feed, how it would look on iTunes etc.

Ok, if you used the http://feeds.feedburner.com/tartanpodcast feed you would have been catching, in order, the Libsyn feed, the blogger feed (www.tartanpodcast.blogspot.com) and now my new feed - http://homepage.mac.com/mjhunter/feed/tp.xml.

The problem has been compounded by the fact that I don't know which feed is listed on iTunes. Search the iTunes music store for 'tartan' and lo and behold the tartanpodcast shows up, but I don't know what the underlying feed for it is. Is it the Libsyn feed of the Feedburner feed? I've no clue. What I do know is that on iTunes the tartanpodcast isn't showing the latest episodes. However if you subscribe to it the latest ep. downloads. Weird.

The upshot of all this feed tomfoolery is that I seem to have lost some of you. About 4000 of you. Yeah. Will I get you back as listeners? I hope so.

Here's what to do. If you're using iTunes, click here;

If you don't want to use iTunes, try Winpodder;

And if you just want the feed;

Any questions? Well, it's clear I've no clue what I'm doing so don't ask me.

Just kidding. Post your Qs here or on the forum and I'll do my best to sort you out. And be patient, I'm an amateur.

The time has come for me to scrounge some favours...

I've got a cafepress store and there have been a few t-shirts and tartanpodcast-related artifacts sold (if you're in possession of any, please email me photos!). However, the issue with cafepress is that to make any money at all you need to put a sizeable markup on the product, oftentimes pricing yourself out of a sale. Factor in the $ - £ exchange rate and there's virtually no money to be made at all.
Last year a listener called Hamish offered to help me set up an online shop, but I was too distracted to do anything about it (Hamish, if you're reading get in touch).

However, part of the problem you're faced with setting up an online shop is what to stock it with. Obviously things that people would enjoy owning is a good start. So that would probably include things like t-shirts, stickers, keyrings, CDs, posters
etc.

Here's where you may be able to help. If you work in the merchandise-production industry and are able to get me some very very reasonably priced deals (free is even better..) on t-shirts etc etc please get in touch. That way there could be a tartanpodcast shop with reasonably priced merchandise for you to buy, and I can make a wee bit of money out of it too.

Also, please have a look at the poll below. And when you've finished looking at it, please consider choosing an answer.

Gum - Seven Feeble Alibis

1. Time Going By; the first track on the mini album and the first referencing a theme that seems to develop as the album progresses - time, obviously. One wonders if the inspiration for this song came from the time passing between the release of their 2003 debut album 'Low Flying Kites' and the decision of certain key band members to depart during the interim period, citing the length of time it takes in the music industry to make a discernable impact. As an opener the track is bright and catchy, Leigh's multilayered vocals settling comfortably over Raymond's rythmic chord progression. However, it doesn't have the depth that we're used to from Gum as per 'Low Flying Kites'. That depth follows... 4 out of 5. SPEAKERS
   
2. Beyond the Horizon; The time references continue on the second track, the mood mellowing and darkening a little from the opener's clear blue sky, borne out by the addition of a heavier guitar riff and horn arrangement. Leigh sings of broken promises and years going by, building to a typically Gum-esque uplifting chorus. This is the only track on the album where Leigh gets a writing credit. Gum fans will feel at home with this track, new fans will recognise immediately the tunesmiths that Leigh and Raymond are. 5 out of 5. EARPHONES
   
3. Cross Your Heart - Hope to Die; the stand out track on the album, a grabber from first listen, quickly turning into a repeat-listener. More tales of broken promises pepper the lyrics, the phrase 'break through this prema-frost of feeble alibis' is a cracker and the album's best word picture. Musically this is Gum at their best, easily putting them on the plinth they should be on; peddlers of pop songs with a heart. Buy the album for this song alone. 5 out of 5. EARPHONES or REALLY LOUD IN THE CAR
4. Asleep at the Wheel - Bowman and Poole remix; 'Low Flying Kite's opener done to a turn by Bowman and Poole, all ethnic drums and sharp angles. I don't have any info on B&P, but a Google search throws up some interesting clues. 3.5 out of 5. SPEAKERS
5. Falling Through Cracks; the weakest, in my opinion, on the album, although it does have some great sections, with Leigh's voice sounding very Nina Perrson, which is never a bad thing. Lyrically its as sharp as the rest of the album, but for me it doesn't settle completely, not knowing what it wants to be. It does have an infectious middle 8, which, coupled with the strong lyric, should make it a better song than it actually is. But the unclear opening dilutes the overall effect. 3 out of 5. SPEAKERS
6. Low-Flying Kites; funnily little track weighing in at 1.02 minutes, but enjoyable nonetheless. Leads perfectly into the secret, but ulimately, seventh of the 'feeble alibis'. 4 out 5. SPEAKERS
7. ?; untitled seventh track. Untitled in that it isn't listed on the album cover. Lyrically it's the best on the album, dreamy but purposeful melodies paint pictures of hilly inner city parks on hot, windless summer afternoons. Has Gum stamped all over it without sounding like anything on the debut album. Great songwriting. 5 out of 5. HEADPHONES

OVERALL - 4.5 out of 5

Buy this album, if you love honest music with considered lyrics and you want it to be fresh, new, well produced and accessible, then Gum are for you.

Ok, maybe I'm joking about that part.

As you'll see, the site is back here on Podshow's server. Some of you may know I have issues with how Podshow is handling its talent, the '3 shows a week' for no money etc. But after long and open discussions with the Music Gang, my podcast brethren, I'm going to stick it out with them. At least for another few months.
We are after all approaching a bright, new, shiny year so here's hoping things start falling into place.

In the meantime, The Scottish Podcast Clan is alive and kicking and I urge all of you to check it out and listen to the other Scottish podcasts listed on the site. More will be added in due course, including Amplificast, the podcast from Amplifico.

A technorati search showed up what looks to be a rival Scottish podcast site, but note; we were doing it first ;-)

Other news - the tartanblog is up and I'll be posting most of my podcast experiences, thoughts, opinions and news over there, including developments with tartan media productions, which was officially 'launched' earlier in the month. So please subscribe to the RSS feed.

I recorded the first SaltireCast, a project I'm working on for Glasgow Caledonian University. My plan is to have 'channels' that you can subscribe to via the tartanpodcast site, and the SaltireCast will be the first, all being well.

Look out for a podcast of the workshop/presentation I delivered a couple of weeks ago here in Glasgow; it'll be made available via tartanblog.

• Spotlights on Maeve O'Boyle and Quinn
• Interviews with Lance Anderson and Paul Story
• Live appearance at the Lance Anderson Podcast Experiment, along with Top of the Pods and Hotrod Cadets - book your tickets now!
