…and eat it.

Here’s a review of an early gig from NME’s Andrew Collins, which took place in Minneapolis along with Buffalo Tom.

This little story appeared in the ‘Public Nme’ section of an edition of the UK musical magazine NME.

No idea if it’s true.

…only if you look hard enough that is – the rare sight of the sample CD for fourth album, ‘Weightlifting’.

The little white squares on the reverse of the inlay card would have been numbered to indicate which tracks were included – 5 or 6 songs normally. This copy had no indication of how many were included, but when I popped it into the old CD player – 12 tracks were duly displayed. A ‘Brucie’ bonus don’t you think.

The band photography was by Colin Dunsmuir and the sleeve was designed by Kevin Hobbs.

Free CDs with newspapers and magazines always tend to be a mixed bag, but this one from the Scotland on Sunday is magic.

The Trashcan’s ‘Morning Star’ is sandwiched in-between King Creosote and Frightened Rabbit which is no bad thing. Other artists (they’re all Scottish by the way) include Franz Ferdinand, Teenage Fanclub, Emma Pollock, Sons & Daughters, Arab Strap and We Were Promised Jetpacks.

The perfect start to a Sunday morning don’t you think?
