IHANW podcast "Twee special" featuring Camera Obscura/Homegame Festival preview

This month's podcast is a kind of "twee special" mainly because we've got the title track from Camera Obscura's new album, plus excellent, marginally twee tunes from Je Suis Animal, Men Diamler, Animal Magic Tricks and Panda Su.

This is the 12th podcast I've done which means I've been doing this for a year, and in that time we've featured loads of brilliant bands so please check out previous podcasts too if you haven't already, and don't forget you can find us on iTunes too if you want to download them all straight to your computer. In fact I was very chuffed to get the following review on iTunes which I've only just noticed, many thanks to Bishop Berkeley, whoever you are!

"brilliant - best way of staying in touch with new music coming from Scotland and interesting music from further afield. Eclectic selections coupled with informed personal opinion are what makes it. Glad it's there - only bad thing is it makes me wish I still lived in the burgh."

The latter three bands featured this month are all playing the Fence Homegame Festival in Anstruther this weekend, as in fact are a number of the bands previously featured on the podcast and before that on the radio show. In fact the line-up is like a list of my favourite Scottish bands.

I've written a preview of Homegame for The Scotsman's Under The Radar Blog which should be online sometime this evening (Thursday). I'll be posting a link on Twitter once it's up.

The blog is being run by my pals Nick and Billy and is shaping up to be an excellent read. Another contributor is Halina from the Glasgow Podcart which is also well worth checking out for all the gossip from Weegieland - they're doing a great job of covering the upcoming Hinterland Festival being held there later this month.

If you're going to Homegame yourself please do say hello, and if you have any feedback/suggestions for the podcast let me know. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen, and hope it inspires you to check out the featured bands.
