Just some music, some little bands who deserves a fair hearing:
First up, this is a, ahem, 'little gem' from a band called The Islands (you see, the song is called Rough Gem, so it's kind of like a pun...)
Then there's the Silver Jews- cracking tune to listen to late at night- called The Wild Kindness. Very atmospheric, and sad.
And, let's have this while we're being atmospheric- 90 sublime seconds from Jens Lekman... At the Department of Forgotten Songs.
And, picking the mood back up, take this from the Wrens... This Boy is Exhausted. (Everyone, I predict, will like this Fanclub-type diamond...)
Otherwise, Celtic are champions, well done, pats on all nearby backs, firm handshakes between all readers. Also, the transcendent Tilly and the Wall are playing in King Tuts on Saturday 20th May, and no absent notes will be accepted. Attendance mandatory.
Doubtless this will get pulled really quickly, but if you're quick, here is the whole of the Simpsons episode written by Ricky Gervais!
Hey, look at this really old photograph of the old Hampden Park, under snow. Ok, it's not very summery, but is perfect for looking at while while you listen to Jens Lekman.
