ABOUT ME
ED
The rantings and ravings of a thirty-something music fan, from Edinburgh, Scotland. I've been writing this blog since July 2006. I also write for Is This Music?. I've had my own show on Fresh Air radio, DJed in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and in 2008 set up 17 Seconds Records. -

Want to get in touch?
The best way is by this blog's own email address: seventeensecondsblog@hotmail.co.uk I'm always up for featuring bands or artists on here, so get in touch. And if you represent one of the artists involved and would like me to remove the track, that's fine too (you will just lose some free publicity, as well as looking like Goliath picking on David). The mp3s posted here are for a short time only, a maximum of two weeks and are intended for people to evaluate the music, and not as a replacement for buying music. If you like what you hear, support the artists involved by buying the music, and going to shows, buying T-shirts etc. Please note: I receive a lot of emails every day encouraging me to check out new bands, but it does take a while to get through them all. -
