It’s our 11th anniversary, and here’s Cristy’s 12th annual Mixtape. It tells the story of our year, a story I won’t tell. So now just sit back and listen.

Love, cured, fermented, aged, bottled, broken, decanted, recanted, reaffirmed.

Two hours of rock from Scotland! Has anybody coined the term Scotrock yet? If not, would it be unforgivable if we were to add that to the rock geek lexicon along with Krautrock and Mathrock? Assembled with thanks to Alister Smith, Glasgow correspondent Iain Matheson, and Ben from the Brighton Rock Geek Office!
