On the need to brush up...

Playlist
Bidiniband – The Land is Wild
Nick Buzz – Circo
Jill Hepburn – Snowflake

A quiet day initially soundtracked by solo albums from Dave Bidini and Martin Tielli from Canadian faves, Rheostatics...

Jill Hepburn’s CD also arrived and was duly given a spin...



This is only her second CD - the previous one being an EP – despite her having been on the Edinburgh singer/songwriter scene for seven or eight years...

As a result, it contains probably her best 10 songs, many of which I recognised from having seen her so many times at Out of the Bedroom and around town...

A lovely girl and a lovely album - I’ll be heading to the Listening Room at the Blue Blazer on Bread Street on Sunday night to hear her live unplugged set – and might well sing a couple of songs myself...

Need to practise a wee bit though...

Other than that, TV kept me occupied most of the night, with two episodes of “Big Bang Theory” and “This Week” entertaining – unlike “Question Time”...

I gave up on that half way through and retired to the PC to compile a 16 track “2009 Sampler CD” for chum Chris-with-a-Ch, having agreed we would both compile a mystery CD for each other to be exchanged tomorrow...

Highlight of the Day : Big Bang Theory...
