We've Got It Covered #105

I don't know about you, but this last week has been pretty damn knackering. On Monday night I was out seeing King Creosote, The Pictish Trail and Randolph's Leap at the the Old Fruitmarket, then the following night I was out at the innaugural SAY Awards. Out on two school nights on the bounce has left me pretty damn exhausted, as trying to fit all of this music malarkey into real life ain't all that easy. So I feel as if I have been chasing my tail all week, thankfully though we have a pretty chilled out weekend planned so as to recuperate. If the weather brightens up a bit then we'll hopefully be heading over to The Hidden Lane Festival for a bit, then tomorrow the plan is to stick some of these awesome posters around Glasgow. Hopefully after that I'll be able to pop along to Oran Mor for the West End Festival Closing Party. If you haven't already seen the line up, it's pretty much a fantasy line up of great Scottish artists. If you don't believe me then check this out for a line up

This week cover comes courtesy of Unkle Bob and their take on the Beatles 'She's Leaving Home'. I decided to post it this week as the band have just announced that they'll be heading out to Austin for this years SXSW Festival. If you head over to Dear Scotland you'll find a definitive list of Scottish artists that are crossing the pond to show off what an array of talent this wee nation of our has to offer. A friend once described SXSW as being equivalent to Disneyland for indie kids, so I'm pretty gutted that I can't make it out there this year. Fingers crossed for 2012!

We've Got It Covered #12

This week I have decided to go with a little bit of Belle & Sebastian for my weekly cover version. I have had this pencilled in for a while now, I must admit that it took me a while to decide which song I was going to go with as there are so many cover versions out there. I am sure if you do a bit of hunting on google you'll be be able to find a copy of a wee bootleg consisting solely of cover versions. I chose to go with their cover of the Beatles 'Here Comes The Sun', which I guess is a bit odd for me as I have never really been a massive fan of the fab-four, but for some reason this version really appeals to me.
