Teenage Fanclub has a new one out tomorrow, Do Not Dare to Dream. Here’s the first single – see what you reckon!
From Dundee Tae Ye
The top ten Scottish bands, in order, are these:
1. The Fratellis
2. The Jesus and Mary Chain
3. The View
4. Teenage Fanclub
5. The Vaselines
6. Belle & Sebastian
7. Camera Obscura
8. Nazareth
9. Franz Ferdinand
10. Aztec Camera
Big Country is disqualified because their best song has their own name in it.
Honorable mention to Bay City Rollers because I grew up in the 70’s, and Jethro Tull because Ian Anderson is a Scot.
I will now listen to your complaints about this stupid list.
Declan’s Dad
I didn’t realize Elvis Costello’s dad was also a performer. Apples and trees….
Word
Please Don’t Suck
Just kidding. It’s fine if you suck. Joel Edgerton is in this as Uncle Owen, and will periodically remind me that I really liked Green Knight. And maybe the Tatooine landscapes will make me think of some cool Dune stuff.
I Will Rock Your Ass With My Flute
I like these guys!
- They’re called Jethro Tull, but I’m not sure which guy is Jethro Tull
- The singer is Ian. He must be related to the Monty Python “It’s” guy but I should research that some more.
- If you’re going to rock a flute, institutional escapee is the right aesthetic for sure. He’s Scottish, so I don’t know if that means it’s a fife instead of a flute. Probably someone will tell me. I don’t see any bagpipes anywhere.
