In this episode I dive into the question of inspiration & influence. Who and what has influenced me, but more in the terms of how much of my younger self has had a lasting effect on me as a designer now. music by: Jon Arbuthnott @jonarbuthnott Check out his band Pinact: https://www.facebook.com/Pinact/ https://www.instagram.com/pinactpinact/?hl=en
Here is EPISODE 29 of the MOOD SWINGS podcast! This week my guest is the guitar player and singer of Glasgow based grunge band PINACT, Corrie Gillies. I sat down with Corrie to talk about the band, their recent tour of the USA, anti-depressants, food poisoning and a whole lot more, all the while being attacked by his cat, Grizzly. Cheers Corrie!

Having had the idea of doing a live review show for the best part of six months, it was great to finally get the Scottish Fiction Roundtable off the ground and on the air. Not that it was overly difficult mind you. Step 1: Ask a blogger to come on the show and review records. Step 2: Do it. So I was delighted to be joined by my monthly EP series partner in crime David McElroy from Almost Predictable. Almost to run through tracks from Deadly Rides, Reverieme, Ambassadeurs, Holy Esque, Hudson Mohawke and Pinact. There's also a BBC Introducing Stage slant to the show, with no less than 7 acts playing the T in the Park stage featured on the show. Wrap that up with a Re-Mixing It Up track and new music from Miracle Strip, Outblinker and Big Cloud, you've got yourself two hours of Scottish Fiction.

My favourite thing about living in a city with such a vibrant music scene is that there’s no shortage of individuals I can interview for this podcast. On this episode Corrie Gillies – frontman, songwriter, guitarist and one half of Pinact was kind enough to sit down with me for a chat on the Glasgow date of their recent tour. Oh, and it also happened to be the same day they were launching their cracking debut album ‘Stand Still and Rot’.For the tech heads amongst you, you might like to know that this podcast was a bit of a pain to edit. There was a very loud, low hum present for the entire interview which I didn’t notice at the time. I managed to fix it. For the most part. If you can hear a whooshing noise in the background that’s what it is.It didn’t affect the conversation though and this podcast is rather fascinating.Corrie is an insightful and intelligent guy, who despite having only been on the road a short time with Pinact has racked up an impressive amount of experience. What struck me the most about this interview is how driven Corrie is. Something which is highlighted by the sheer amount of time Pinact seem to spend on the road. If Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoah et all are your thing then really, you’ll love Pinact. They’re also loud as hell live given that there’s only a guitarist and a drummer.Our conversation largely consisted of:Elliott SmithThe work/life balance of being in a band which is fast gaining successHow the format of Pinact will probably evolve fairly soonThe pros and cons of touringThe passion and the songwriting processSigning to the New York based Kanine recordsAnd a bunch of other cool stuff. The band then proceeded to tear it up after the interview was over, which is always a sight to see.Featured MusicIntro: Voodoo Puppets – Electric Chair Blues (used under CC licence, you can check it out here)Pinact – AnxietyPinact – LimbsLinksYou can get the album in both digital and cassette format over at the Kanine records website.

I was in Aberdeen this week, and I happened to leave town at about half three, on my way home, at which point it was pretty much fucking pitch black already. Because the Gulf Stream keeps the UK cool in the Summer and warm in the Winter you tend to forget just how very, very far North we really are. Anyhow, between that and the cold which overtakes my office during the day because it feels indulgent to have the heating on I am definitely in my Winter mood at the moment. I like Winter, though. I like the dark and the cold and the whole 'nights drawing in' thing. I suggests time with the record player and lots of red wine, and maybe a fire as well. All good things. So yes, I am uploading this and then going off to do just that. A new restaurant has opened just down the road from us and Mrs. Toad and I are going to toddle along and try it out tonight. After some gin and records, of course. Go us! 01. Absolutely Free - On the Beach (00.06)02. Min Diesel - Mother (11.39)03. Pinact - Beauty Freak (16.13)04. Tarsiers - Camel (demo) (20.33)05.

Yes, mosherama! This podcast draws its name, slightly sadly, not from the fact that I have been in one insane moshpit after another this week, which might have been quite cool, but from the rather more mundane circumstance that I have simply been to quite a lot of gigs. I did mosh, in a sense. In the fat, sad old man sense that I stood sort of in the middle and nodded my head vaguely in time to the music. I know, I know, who will save society from such excess? This must be a job for Carol Vorderman. Defeatist self-mockery aside, I genuinely did see three fantastic gigs one after another this week, so the podcast is going to reflect this. Once again we have multiple Grandaddy songs, which means my fandom is probably tipping the balance into sad, slavering fanboy territory but umm... well, it's too late for me to make a last-minute scramble for dignity anyway, so fuck it, they were absolutely fucking amazing and you are just going to have to sit through it and pretend to love them as much as I do. 01.
