		<title>Awards for all</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;You must have been to a few of these,&#8221; says Adam out of the Plimptons, nominee for Best Punk Album at the Scottish New Music Awards.
In fact, no. In fact, short of Jockrock&#8217;s Golden Clefts Awards  (which I organised myself, so they don&#8217;t really count), the only award cermony I&#8217;ve been to was The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perfect Harmony
Who says food and music can’t mix?
The worlds of music and quality food shouldn’t be, on the face of it, ones which ever collide &#8211; think of the musician’s late night world of burgers and takeaway pizza, or even a more liquid diet. However, Stereo &#8211; the latest in a series of ventures from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course, I wasn&#8217;t even meant to be to a loose end on Saturday. The annual Fence Homegame in Anstruther should have been a no-brainer for the weekend, but a complete sellout and seemingly no way to blag passes left me high and dry. Given that it&#8217;s the first one I&#8217;ve missed in the event&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lapsus Linguae / Moniack / Hail Caesar &#8211; The List, December 2003</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lapsus Linguae (*****)/ Moniack (****) / Hail Caesar (****)
Cafe Royal, Edinburgh, 14th December

It may be the season of goodwill to all, but some decidedly unfestive vibes are floating around the Cafe Royale. Well, dedicating ‘I Will Cut You’ to the audience hardly seems a charitable act from Hail Caesar. But it’s said with a cheeky [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bob Mould Q&amp;A &#8211; Metro 2006</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since disbanding seminal Minneapolis post-punkers Hüsker Dü, Bob Mould has fronted chart act Sugar, gone electronic, DJ’ed, become an acclaimed remixer, and, er, been a ‘scriptwriter’ for the WWF. Now he’s come full circle and is playing the oldies live again.

So, this is the greatest hits tour?
I’m focusing on the new record &#8211; it’s had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Five questions for&#8230; Tim Booth (Metro, April 2008)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Madchester godfathers James are celebrating their quarter-century by reforming to record a new album. First, however, there’s a new ‘Best of’, with singer Tim Booth’s acting career (launched in Batman Begins) put temporarily on hold.

It’s over 5 years since James split, so why reform now?
The whole idea originally was that we’d write an album and [...]]]></description>

		<title>5 reasons to see&#8230; Half Man Half Biscuit (The List, September 2008)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[5 reasons you should see Half Man Half Biscuit at the Liquid Room on October 1st.
1. Gigs by the band are rare thanks to their peccadilloes &#8211; most famously turning down 80s TV show The Tube (and a helicopter ride there) because it clashed with a Tranmere Rovers match. Other means of transport are no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Five questions for&#8230; Art Brut (Metro, May 2007)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eddie Argos has fronted London-based five piece Art Brut for 4 years, and the band have found friends across the world &#8211; most notably the US music press lauding debut album Bang Bang Rock and Roll. Now they tour the UK in support of follow-up album It’s Kind of Complicated.
The Americans seem to love you, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Edinburgh, so much to answer for</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Dickens wrote about &#8220;best of times / worst of times&#8221; he wasn&#8217;t talking about Edinburgh (well, to be honest, he might have been, my English lessons at school extended back as far as Orwell and Camus, with some Shakespeare thrown in, just in case we actually started to enjoy ourselves). Anyway, where was I? [...]]]></description>
