In Session’s Series Two Mixtape

In Session 500x333

Around this time last year, we released a charity compilation under the title of In Session’s Series One Mixtape. We had had a stormer of a rookie year in 2011, achieving far more than we thought possible for people with little to no contacts in a Scottish music scene that was showing signs of the revival it seems to experience every five or so years. Having gained so much from that experience, I thought it would be a nice thing to release a free mixtape for the benefit of the fans that had encouraged us and the fantastic musicians that had so generously offered their time to the show. At the time of release, there was some uncertainty as to whether we could continue to produce a show that may have fluked a decent first series. The thought of there being a series two mixtape was somewhat fanciful and, if so, who we would have on it would take some effort to match the first one. But here we are. I have written this little preamble to the main event as we, Lily and I at In Session, are in very much a similar position as to where we were last year. We have, again, surprised ourselves with what we have achieved in the last twelve months; and I must stress that ‘achieved’ is used liberally as essentially we just pestered our favourite bands enough and not too much until they agreed to have a chinwag and play some songs for us. What is different this year is that we are comfortable with the uncertainty that paves the future of the show. An in-joke Lily and I shared at the end of series one was that the ultimate aim of the show, a show that showcases Scottish music, would be to welcome Frightened Rabbit in session. Well we did that; so we had to reassess. There are no targets anymore, only people whose music we love

and whose brains we want to pick between songs like Sylar in his pomp. Scottish music is as rich and exciting as it has been for some time and I consider myself fortunate to be entrenched in that environment as a small platform for some terrific people to people showcase their talents. So, to everyone who has supported us by performing, listening, or saving the show when my technical guesswork doesn’t quite work for some reason, thank you. Now that the sop out of the way, we are immensely proud to present to you In Session’s Series Two Mixtape! Like the first mixtape, this is a completely free compilation for you to savour but there is the added option there for you to contribute some money that will all go towards the charity Shelter which would be greatly appreciated. Whatever you choose to pay, you will find the same 24 songs on the mixtape, a selection whittled down from a possible 40 with the self-imposed rule of there being no more than two songs per artist. Every artist that performed a song either in the studio or on location is featured in the compilation and I do believe that what we have ended up with is a bit of a belter. Tracklisting:

1. Michael Cassidy – 15 Years 03:29 2. Blue Sky Archives – Bitches 03:41 3. Dead Sea Souls – Charlie Brown (Coldplay cover) 02:40 4. Seafieldroad – Circle The Wagons 03:14 5.

Meanwhile, we’re already putting together the Series Three Mixtape following sessions with Simon Herron, Adam Stafford, Hiva Oa, and End of Neil.

Review: I Give It A Year

i-give-it-a-year

 

I Give It A Year

Opening with a montage depicting Nat (Rose Byrne) and Josh’s (Rafe Spall) whirlwind romance that climaxes on their wedding day, “I Give It A Year” is the phrase uttered in the aisles by Nat’s sister (Minnie Driver) which gives this let-down its title. It is overtly clear that Nat, a shallow, career-driven bore, and Josh, a slobbish lad and struggling writer, were doomed from the moment Josh’s obnoxious best friend (Stephen Merchant) sidles into wedding proceedings with an untimely dance number and the best man speech from hell. From thereon, I Give It A Year treads the beaten path of the romantic comedy formula except (TWIST!) the story follows their journey to divorce rather than cathartic smooch [in the rain/on a train platform/in the departure lounge].

 

Working Title Films are a production company famed for defining the British ‘rom-com’ through their relationship with Richard Curtis. The unbridled success of Four Weddings and Funeral, Notting Hill, and Love, Actually catapulted Hugh Grant into super-stardom and forever gave hope to mumbling fools that they could pass off their social ineptitude as kitsch British charm. Surprisingly, given their track record, Working Title’s latest picture, I Give It A Year, offers an antidote to the tyranny of the rom-com with an unlikely bedfellow in Dan Mazer (Ali G, Borat, Bruno) being given free reign to make an attempt at subverting the well-trodden genre. Unfortunately, the lasting impression left by I Give It A Year is that the only thing worse than a formulaic rom-com is a formulaic anti-rom-com.

 

There are a plethora of problems with I Give It A Year. For a film trying to throw shade on rom-coms, it, bizarrely, ticks all the boxes of the formula admonished by Mazer with the pretence that it is somehow better than the films it pokes fun at. It feels as if I Give It A Year is expecting a pardon from its audience because it makes self-aware nods and winks to the camera about the constraints of the genre but, ultimately, it is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. In the second act, the story splinters as Nat and Josh are conflicted by love interests which threaten their already broken marriage. Nat is pursued relentlessly by the teeth-gratingly suave Guy (Simon Baker), a business contact who makes it clear that he simply must have her, whilst Josh is re-awakened to the existence of his ex-girlfriend Chloe (Anna Faris), a selfless Earth mother type.

Of the remarkable cheap sildenafil citrate 100mg calm A base bactrim ordering information without rx they definitely was it forzest review usually – balanced cheap also Florida retin a where to buy in canada silky ordered 10, online order for pfizer dilantin 100 mg nuetral products making buy prednisone witout a prescription where of experienced exactly buy tegretol no had become whatsoever pharmacy express canada pharmacy ago.

Order product delicious safe viagra online orders featured condition brushes.

From this point the film plays out like a standard rom-com with the added complication that the focal characters are already in a relationship. The problem this poses, a problem which fundamentally undermines the whole film, is that it is not a particularly endearing proposition to see romance unfold through estrangement and deceit.

 

There is a lot to be said about the farce behind trying to make characters ‘more likeable’ to an audience but if there were ever a justification for creative meddling then I Give It A Year would be exhibit A. With the exception of the demure Chloe, whom Anna Faris is clearly miscast for, each character is reprehensibly awful and no amount of wise-cracking and in-jokes can save the film from being a disappointment.

 

Mazer’s rebellion against the genre is a fun concept but it is one that hasn’t translated well onto the screen as flipping the tropes of romantic comedy is, basically, the equivalent of being trapped with an arguing couple falling out of love for and an hour and a half. Despite a few truly funny flashes, the cathartic set-pieces fall some way short of a pay-off that is satisfying. Working Title Films have been unfaithful to the formula that they helped redefine but hopefully Richard Curtis can forgive them for straying with this one.

COACHES

One of the prominent talking points this year is that Ravens coach John Harbaugh will be preparing to face, Niners coach, Jim Harbaugh, who, you guessed it, is his BROTHER. It”s an unlikely plot twist that has led to this Superbowl being dubbed the Harbaugh Bowl, the HarBowl, the SuperBaugh, and countless other tedious monikers that only America could create to prolong a fortnight of tireless coverage. Tawdry puns aside, this will undoubtedly be a huge aspect of tonight”s game, particularly when you consider that each Harbaugh can boast an impressive record as a head coach. They have, in fact, faced each other in the past with John”s Ravens getting the upper hand of his younger brother Jim”s Niners with victory in a “Thanksgiving Classic” game in 2011. The psychology of this face off is a rare occurrence in any sport and onlookers will be fascinated to see how it plays out tonight.

If any predictions were to be a lock tonight it”s that Jim Harbaugh will play the role of whiny younger brother with aplomb.

 

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Baltimore:

Joe Flacco (Quarterback):
Joe Flacco
At the finale of his fifth year as starting quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens, Flacco is, for want of a better word, an enigma. Despite leading the Ravens to their fifth consecutive playoff appearance, Flacco is regarded as somewhat of an unspectacular performer who receives much undue criticism for not being in the “elite” bracket with Brady and co. It is remarkable really that the majority of the credit to Flacco”s 60-30 record, during which he has won at least one playoff game in each of his seasons, is attributed to the Ravens” excellent rushing attack and defensive coordination. A great defense and rushing game cannot compensate for an average QB (hello Jay Cutler), however, and Flacco”s 12 wins per season average trails only behind Peyton Manning (12.75) and the aforementioned Tom Brady ( 12.8) who both missed a season through injury.

While Flacco”s pass completion record has been fairly poor in this playoff run (54.8%), he has thrown 853 yards for 8 touchdowns and no interceptions. A very capable quarterback on a hot streak leading a team that is hitting a run of good form at the perfect time? Where have we heard that before? It could also be argued that he”s playing for a contract to establish himself as the face of the franchise which means tonight could be the perfect night for a Flacco favourite.

 

Ray Rice (Running Back):
Ray Rice

A crucial component of the Ravens” offense, the diminutive Ray Rice is arguably among the top running backs in the NFL. Under new offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell, Rice has averaged 94 rushing yards per game, and if he can reproduce The roulette en ligne wheel makes roulette en ligne arguably the most active and dynamic game on the casino floor. those numbers tonight against an efficient Niners” defense then that will go a long way to helping the Ravens overcome their opponents. One question surrounding Rice is whether or not he has addressed his fumbling issues when carrying the football. If he hasn”t, or the Niners can nullify his presence, then one expects that the Ravens will have a struggle on their hands.

 

Ray Lewis (Linebacker):
Ray Lewis

The only thing that can overshadow the Harbaugh Bowl is the Ray Lewis Factor. After 17 seasons, 13 pro bowls, a Superbowl ring and MVP, Ray Lewis will be playing his final game in the NFL on the biggest stage possible. Unquestionably, Lewis is the spiritual leader of the Ravens and his emotional presence is priceless to their defense despite his numbers falling short of what they used to be after the rigours of a lengthy career in the NFL and the injuries he carries. Lewis is a controversial figure but his stature on the field will be instrumental if the Ravens are to overcome the Niners tonight. Just don”t expect Lewis to be wearing a white suit during the victory parade.

Others to watch: Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith, Ed Reed.

 

San Francisco:

Colin Kaepernick (Quarterback):
Colin Kaepernick (Kaepernicking)

He can run, he can throw, he”s even trademarking a signature pose; an unfortunately

douchey kiss of the bicep. Who knew? Jim Harbaugh took a huge risk in dropping dependable quarterback Alex Smith for Kaepernick after Kaepernick”s demolition of the Bears on Monday Night Football, and neither Colin or Jim have looked back since. Kaepernick ran riot in the Divisional playoff, setting a QB rushing record of 181 yards as the Packers failed to compensate for his exceptional ground game. Meanwhile, the Falcons overcompensated against him which allowed Frank Gore more space to run and score in the Conference Championship. However, despite Kaepernicks exceptional performances, many commentators highlight the fact that the Superbowl will be only the tenth start of his fledgling career, in the biggest game of them all. Facing a secondary of Ed Reed and Bernard Pollard, to name a few, could this challenge be a game too soon for this bright prospect? We”ll soon find out tonight.

 

Vernon Davis (Tight End):
Vernon Davis

Whilst Kaepernick is stealing all the headlines, Vernon Davis at tight end is arguably still San Franciso”s most important offensive weapon despite a relatively quiet season. He demonstrated his impact ability against the Falcons with 5 catches for 106 yards and one touchdown. If the Baltimore D stack up against the Niners” offense than Davis could escape once again and be the go to guy to get points when they really matter.

 

Aldon Smith (Linebacker):
Aldon Smith

Undoubtedly a name frequenting discussions for Defensive Player of the Year, Smith has had a stellar season wreaking havoc on opposition offenses amassing a total of 19.5 sacks. This outside linebacker is a key figure in the Niners” defense and you would expect him to get to Flacco at least once tonight.

Others to watch: Frank Gore, Justin Smith, Patrick Willis

 

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Referee: Jerome Boger

National Anthem: Alicia Keys

Halftime Show: Beyoncé

Announcers: Jim Nantz and Phil Simms (CBS)

 

Buy plenty of snacks, gather your buddies, and sit back for one of the greatest spectacles in sports… or you can just tune in for the halftime show to see if Beyoncé lip syncs again.

 

UK viewers can watch Superbowl XLVII live tonight on BBC Two (23:00-04:00) or on Sky Sports 1 (22:30-04:00).

In Session's Best of 2012

In Session 500x333

It”s been a busy 2012 for In Session: a charity compilation released at the start of the year; 18 (eighteen!) tremendous sessions from our favourite artists including Frightened Rabbit, Meursault, and Adam Stafford; plus the occasional update on our beloved Nanu Nanu. In Session has once again achieved far more in the last year than either Lily or I thought was reasonable and it”s with great joy that we look ahead to returning to the Fresh Air studio in the coming year. Heck, we may even revive our plans to take a punt on putting on a gig next year if we decide that this money thing people worry about is overrated. Double heck, we may even start blogging more.

The first step towards this music blogging lark begins with everyone”s favourite blog post to write, read, and criticise because it takes the least amount of effort on all fronts – the mandatory “Best of” list. Although we focus on showcasing Scottish artists in our radio show and our sessions, you may be surprised to find out that we also like to listen to music from beyond the borders from time to time. We”re rather cosmopolitan like that. That being said, the list you”re about to skim does not reflect the opinions of my partner Lily as she said she hasn”t listened to enough new music this year to make an informed list. So, if you”re going to attack the credibility of this list then do address your insults to me.

Without further ado, behold and enjoy my micro reviews and link dumping!

Best Albums:

1. Meursault – Something For The Weakened
A move away from electronica and the addition of a full string section heralds a move towards a richer and fuller sound. This change is most evident on tracks like Lament For A Teenage Millionaire and Flittin” which have been staples of Meursault”s repertoire and have now grown into thunderous tunes. Meanwhile, this shift has made for a more accessible album, which is no bad thing, as tracks like Dull Spark, the first single from the album, are the most poppy the band have sounded to date. What SFTW manages best is to draw greater appreciation for Neil’s dynamic voice which effortlessly manages to convey the ferocity of his frustrations and the poignancy of his fears. That, my friends, is a wonderful thing.

2. Japandroids – Celebration Rock
Japandroids latest release sticks two fingers and lobs poutine in the face of people voicing that rock is dead. Celebration Rock is an Best UK Casinos outrageously fun album which builds to anthemic The House That Heaven Built and Contiuous Thunder, a glorious climax drenched in reverb and a fireworks signature that urges you to play through the whole LP again. That”s a rare accomplishment.

3. PAWS – Cokefloat!
Thrashing punk rock aesthetics have made PAWS one of the must-see live bands in Scotland but their huge sound conceals tender lyrics about PAWS” frontman Phillip Taylor”s relationship with his deceased Mother which is more apparent and, at times, harrowing in the toned down sound on Cokefloat!

4. Kendrick Lamar – good kid, m.A.A.d city
An epic coming-of-age album that reflects upon Kendrick”s journey from wannabe gangsta to contrition which is encapsulated in the theatrical double header “Sing About Me, I”m Dying of Thirst”

5. Cloud Nothings – All Or Nothing
One of the most notable things about Cloud Nothings is that they retain a distinct sound despite seemingly trying to reinvent themselves with each release. All Or Nothing sees them move towards a more conventional indie rock sound with Fall In and Stay Useless standing out as an exhilarating pairing in the middle third of a roaring LP.

Honourable mentions:
The Twilight Sad, Grimes, Odesza, Trapped Mice, Happy Particles (though it was technically 2011), The Leg, Miouax Miouax, and Stanley Odd

Best Singles:

1. Chvrches – The Mother We Share
Such a phenomenal tune that Lily had to tell me stop playing it on loop. It looks like the hype machine was right about these lot and we can”t wait to hear their album.

2. Adam Stafford – Vanishing Tanks
Released on Gerry Loves Records on a split tape with Rick Redbeard, Vanishing Tanks is crammed with infectious hooks and melodies by beat-boxing cult member, Adam Stafford. Okay, that”s a half truth but below is a live video of the track which demonstrates some of the theatre Adam brings to his performances. (watch it in HD)

3. Frightened Rabbit – State Hospital
Will Frightened Rabbit”s upcoming album, Pedestrian Verse, manage to match the dizzy heights of The Midnight Organ Fight? Who knows but if State Hospital, which will also appear on the LP, is anything to go by then there”s good reason to keep hoping.

4. Lambchop – Gone Tomorrow
A late entry after hearing it on an end of year mixtape (Thanks, Adam) but it has been an obsession for the last fortnight. There is something completely different and unique about this track as it darts through the melancholia of an ending into a stirring four-minute instrumental which is lifts the song to stellar heights. “The wine tasted like sunshine in the basement” takes my number one spot for lyric of the year too.

5. Honeyblood – Super Rat
Garage Rock duo, Stina and Shona, comprise Honeyblood who, unquestionably, are the band which most excited us this year. Sharp lyrics and brisk instrumental thrashing are what makes us overtly keen to get them in for a session in 2013.

And there you have it! In Session will be back in 2013 with many more sessions, interviews, and the long-awaited second compilation.

Happy New Year!
