This month's podcast features two tracks from Edinburgh's SL Records by Thomas Truax and Recording The Impossible, plus a chat with editor of The Skinny Dave Kerr on what's in the music section of this month's issue.

Then stay tuned for the first ever podcast recorded by Glasgow's Chemikal Underground Records themselves, which features the other two tracks featured in this month's column, by The Phantom Band and Aidan Moffat & The Best-Ofs, as well as other great music on the label. Enjoy!

The Phantom Band - Folk Song Oblivion

Ironically for a band that once changed their name with every gig, you will be hearing the name The Phantom Band everywhere this year. Possibly the first true contenders to the Beta Band’s crown - not because they’re trying to sound like them, but because their melodies and inventiveness are equally as effortless. This is but a taste of the eclectic first album Checkmate Savage, out now on Chemikal Underground Records.

Thomas Truax - Joe Meek warns Buddy Holly

3rd February 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of Buddy Holly’s death. In this ingenious tribute, New York musician Thomas Truax tells the tale of how Joe Meek, the unhinged record producer (and this column’s patron saint) was warned of the exact date from beyond the grave, and some years after his prophesy was proven to be true he shot himself and his landlady - again on the very same date. And in another genius piece of release date irony, it is released by Edinburgh’s SL Records on .... yes - the 3rd of February.

Aidan John Moffat & The Best-Ofs - Oh Men!

As if last year’s I Can Hear Your Heart wasn’t outrageous enough, here the king of over-sharing and under-shaving lets loose a beery, salacious knees-up about the inability of his fellow fellas not to gape like morons at the sheer loveliness of the female form in all its guises. From the album How to Get To Heaven From Scotland, it’s released by Chemikal Underground with a sleazy wink and a hand up your skirt on February 14th, Valentine’s Day.

Recording the Impossible - Popsex

Now Paul Vickers has been responsible for some weird shit in his time, both with Dawn of the Replicants and The Leg. However his latest collaboration inspired by Ivor Cutler and at times sounding like a lost episode of Father Ted directed by David Lynch, is off-the-scale bananas. Popsex is a weird little ditty about pop-up books and filthy thoughts. Out now on SL Records.
