We're finally back with another new episode of The Scratch Cast: The Alternative Music Podcast. Did you miss us? On this episode Grant talks a lot about Blackpool, we try to find Keanu Reeves, and we discuss the phenomenon of people our age looking a lot older in the 80s... On our singles swap we discuss: "10 Mile Smile" by Elgin solo artist Jay Taulier and "Stand Up or Sit Down" by Glasgow's The Kidney Flowers. We also talk about the gigs we’ve been to recently - including Bombay Bicycle Club, Dragged Up, Amateur Cult and Creeper - and last but not least we’ve got reviews of the following albums: "Boombap for Boomers" from alt/rock, hip-hop fusion-ista Lewca, "The Heartist" a visual album from Irish musician Galvo, "World Wide Willow" from Utrecht rockers Kaspar Baum, and "Take It Or Leave It" from Derry pop punks CHERYM. Check out the episode below or via any of the links at the bottom of the page. Sit back, relax and listen to Episode 27: ”Blackpool, Keanu Reeves & Old Men Stinking of Pish”.
