However, I'm excited to be back in tp mode, especially as I've got 3 exciting brand new tracks to bring to you.

The album is Criminal Record, email me for details on acquiring a copy.

Track list;
The Scruffs - Othertime
Kelsey Hunter - See That
Abound - Unstoppable

Theses guys are all in their teens, mostly high school students, but I think they show huge potential. And having witnessed them live, I can attest to them being tight performers!

Coming up on the tartanpodcast;

Raymond Weir - sit down interview with the man from Gum and The Eisenhowers
Kenny Little - sit down interview with the man from Hollow Horse

Both have new album to promote.

Now that I'm a full-time podcast producer it's only right that I resurrect the podcast that started the ball rolling for me.

Recorded in our new studios with our new gear, I feature;

- Hotrod Cadets - My Heart Sinks

- Dropkick - Gary Larsson Cartoon

- The Twisted Melons - Panic

Followers of grass-roots podcasting since 2005 will know what the term ‘giving up the day job‘ means and the weight that it carried with us all back then.  For me, the reality of giving up one day job for another is still sinking in, and to be honest (and don’t tell the boss) the new day job doesn’t feel like work (yet).  But I suppose that’s fair enough.  I mean, my old day job involved actual physical exertion and felt like, you know, work.

The new job is hard work at times (15 hour days down in Newbury being an example), let’s make no mistake about that. But as it’s what I want  to do it doesn’t feel like it.

One of the biggest differences in my job, apart from being paid a month’s salary in one lump and not having to go back around and collect in the money, is that when you come up with an idea you’re pretty much free to follow it, whereas in my old job new ideas would need to wait until the work was done, i.e. the work that paid the bills. Now I’m paid to come up with and execute new ideas.

Another difference is going to meetings on a regular basis. This was something that was on the border of my comfort zone previously. But I find it easier to raise my self-confidence now that I actually do the job I’m purporting to. In the past I often felt like a bit of a charlatan.

So, in the past 4 weeks there have been a couple of meetings a week culminating this week where I’ve got several important meetings, one after another.  One of them is so important that I bought a new suit at the weekend especially.  Hopefully I’ll be able to share the details soon, but in the meantime I’m delivering a presentation on social networks and podcasting to a board of directors made up of some of the most influential people in Scottish business.  I keep the thought of me being a window cleaner a mere 5 weeks ago out of my mind and focus on the fact that I’m very good at what I do…You have to, right?

AICR receives over 500 applications funding applications from scientists around the world every year. How does the charity decide which research they fund? I visited the team in Edinburgh for their scientific advisory committee meeting and discovered the process they put each application through to find only the best science to fund.
