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

Featuring: Ish Marquez - Pipe Dream Memories I can't imagine a better track to kick off 2009 with. The New York musician is an unbelievable guitarist who totally blew the audience's mind when he played a gig with Jeffrey Lewis, Stanley Brinks and Withered Hand at Edinburgh's Henry's Cellar Bar at the end of last year. He's ended up a part of the anti-folk scene more by his NYC location than sound, his tunes funky and soulful twists on guitar virtuosity that should really see him become a massive star. Damn it, you've just got to get up and dance to this track from his Goin' Thru album, currently only available at his gigs (but you can hear it on this month's podcast of course). www.myspace.com/ishmarquez Sellotape – My Left Tit Viki Sellotape has been described as Scotland’s answer to Mark E Smith due to her single-minded musical vision, inspired by the likes of X-ray Spex and Siouxsie Sioux. But given that her live performances consist of her strutting around the stage in tiny hotpants, I know who’d I’

Unusual and innovative music from Scotland and beyond. Herman Dune - Try To Think About Me Herman Dune are an anti-folk band based in Paris/Berlin/New York. They embody that genre's international elasticity - they are pop, folk and indie rock - at once everything you could possibly want from a band and at the same time there's nothing you can put your finger on to define them completely. From new album Next Year in Zion, this is a melodious pop song pure and simple, but the lyrics hold layers of meaning and emotion that will fill your heart with love, longing, loneliness and lust. Pumajaw - Horseshoe Nail Pumajaw describe their sound as "ancient melodies mutating into psychedelic laments and ecstasies." Whilst many try to raise the buried pagan gods and goddesses of folk's past, few do psychedelic fervour as convincingly as Pinkie Maclure and John Willis. Listening to this passionately psychotic track from superb new album Curiosity Box, you're almost persuaded that the duo have lived through some serio
