about

From the man that brought you my #6 album of the year, here's a live cover version of one of my favourite bands, The Decemberists' I Was Meant For The Stage. Be sure to check out Thirty Pounds Of Bone (www.myspace.com/thirtypoundsofbone) a.k.a. Johny Lamb's brilliant album Method over here ---> thirtypoundsofbone.bandcamp.com/album/method Cheers Johny, and of course, the lovely Al from Armellodie Records (www.armellodie.com) too!

"I really like this song. It’s a beautifully warm and generous song and Colin Meloy is good with words. I learned it to play for a friend’s birthday party and I tend to play it at gigs that are either going badly, or have hardly any people at. It makes me smile. It sometimes seems like it’s a nice way to laugh at yourself in front of people, which any performer should be able to do. The song itself is both witty and tragic. It’s that sort of pathos that you find in statements that appear at first to be supremely arrogant. It’s that winning combination of massive egotism and purpose next to crushing insecurity. Suits me rather well…." - Johny Lamb (Thirty Pounds Of Bone)

Kowalskiy was called a lot of things, including an "esteemed" and "cult" Scottish music blogger "virtuoso". I might have announced my sudden retirement from blogging in early 2013, but I leave you with 30 free EPs featuring more than 150 brilliant Scottish bands to remember me by.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and everyone who downloaded one of these EPs.

All the best folks,
