Today is one of those days that I am just loving searching through all my music and playing random things that I keep meaning to get round to listening to. I always find some wee gems. Listening to quite a few Mill bands – and I am particularly impressed with Found's new invention, Cybraphon. It's absolutely brilliant. It's a robot band that reacts to praise and criticism online. www.cybraphon.com Loads of other Mill bands have been busy too. Manda Rin is off to Tokyo where she has a great fanbase, Juno happily DON'T have swine flu and are working on a few interesting projects. The Gillyflowers are getting ready to play at The Rowchester Music festival next month, The Ads are playing a crazy gig in the planetarium at the Science Centre, Colin Train launched his new material at Buchanan Underground Station. The Mill took over Buchanan Street Underground too, prompting a texting frenzy when loads of bands found images of themselves plastered all over it. The Mill cinema ad has had exactly the same response. Hope you've all had a chance to see it now! Bronto Skylift took on proper management, Donnie Little from Paolo Nutini's band and Endrick Brothers has been writing new material with Yorick McCormack from Endrick Brothers. Little Buddha are touring America – still! Suspire have just finished some dates in France and have just confirmed for a Mill show in November, as did Washington Irving. The scottish music industry is definitely buzzing right now!
