Details is an American monthly men’s magazine (no, not one of those ones). Described as a sort of Vogue for men it has been published since the early 1980s and twice a year includes a free CD.
This one from 1994 includes the Trashcans’ ‘Hayfever’ alongside other artists such as David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, Run DMC and ahem, Duran Duran.

Whether you were old school or balancing on the edge of the Scottish music scene there was something for everyone on this fantastic 10-track CD.
Free with the Scotland on Sunday newspaper, it featured 10 outstanding contemporary Scottish bands including Belle and Sebastian, Mull Historical Society, The Delgados, The Proclaimers and Sons & Daughters.
The final track on this promo was Trashcan Sinatras’ ‘Weightlifting’.

I couldn’t agree more.
This eight track custom CD sampler was released via Patio Music – a music and lifestyle company that over the years have brought attention to an eclectic genre of music not usually heard on radio.
Here, keeping company with artists as diverse as N.E.R.D. and Courtney Love, we find the Trashcans and ‘All The Dark Horses’ from the BoBame release ‘Weightlifting EP’.
A song fit for any patio in my opinion.

…Everywhere I look around, Love is in the air, Every sight and every sound – so sang John Paul Young way back in the late 70s.
The new Trashcan Sinatras’ album, ‘In The Music’ is a record full of love and now Scotland’s national treasure, Eddi Reader, has joined in with her new album ‘Love Is The Way’.
A fantastic album and in my opinion her best collection of songs yet. Three of the songs on this copy feature the mighty talents of Mr John Douglas and his ukelele – ‘I Won’t Stand In Your Way’, ‘New York City’ and the forthcoming single ‘Roses’. As this is the promo release, there are no credits, but I believe Stephen Douglas makes an appearance on the album too.
‘New York City’ was originally written for ITM but fell at the final hurdle, but has thankfully been beautifully resurrected here.
Love is definitely in the air.
Can you spot John? Oh, there he is – snug as a thug in the doorway
