She Said // news
news
yaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy, we're back!!!!!!!!!!
So taking full advantage of Allan's absence up the mounbtains, Derek launches into what we hope will be the first of many collaborations between She Said and Glasgow's finest toilet, sorry venue, the 13th Note. More to the point, Sandra (queen of the Note's back room and promotional activity) joins the second half of the show in a failed attempt to bring sanity to the proceedings. You have been warned!!

fancy a good old grope?!
Can you hear me now? Is this thing on? This could have been the end of radio, Said Said and indeed Subcity unless the team's intention to sedate this week's guests went to plan!
Once upon a time there were 2 Glasgow bands, Weenliz and Grozny Some people suggested they were d***s but this was not always true. Then a number of them bonded to form a strange new creature called Gropetown. Wisely, they chose a special female person to lift the gloomy maleness. Some people say they (the blokes) are still d***s but this is not always true.
This week on She Said they picked the tunes and talked pish.
See what you think.

back in business with alan bissett!!!
So after 3 weeks of tortured absence, the mighty She Said team returned to caress you aurally once more. And whit a show it turned out to be as acclaimed author, playwright, performer and music fan of frankly unimaginable taste, Alan Bissett, joined us with his impressively scary new haircut for some memorable tunes and chatter.
With only the slightest amount of suggestive nudging, Alan spoiled us with tales of Falkirk in ye olden days, his recent transformation to a one man woman and forthcoming delights on the Byres Road. Oh aye, and there's some stuff about books as well!
And yes, that is the Corries popping up on a truly unique playlist - when will we see yer likes again?!
Enjoy

we're no awa' tae bide awa'.....
....or something. So as Subcity relocates to new premises, the She Said team huddle together in a foetal like state plotting and scheming for a glorious return to the airwaves on 10 April.
You better believe it.

rememember remember is back in town.....
Once more Graeme Ronald joined his boyhood heroes on She Said for some sweaty, entertaining and musically eclectic silliness. We obliged him to discuss some recent gigging experiences and future recordings, some of which were aired exclusively on the show.
There were erudite musings, extraordinarily informed cultural insights and a good time was had all round.
Brace yerselves

No gimmicks, no labelling, no cliches, no logos. Just the finest noisy moments driven by a punk spirit and commitment to entertain.

gentle, tuneful, makeshift but lovingly unkempt...
So when we paused for a moment's reflection to think how best to describe our selections for tonight's amazing show, these were the words that graced our tongues. Not once did the words erotic, sensual or arousing come to mind yet inevitably and poetically all these sensations truly did fill the room and meander over the airwaves.
I guess you would have expected no less.
Yes indeed.

mogwai action on subcity....
And so it came to pass the She Said team once again strode manfully where others fear to tread with an exclusive Mogwai event on Subcity. More precisely, this week's show featured the delightful presence of Stuart Braithwaite and Martin Bulloch and a beguiling mix of tunes and chatter.
And so we were given the low-down on the new film Burning, progress with current rehearsals, how Errors might just make the guys their fortune, Martin’s affairs of the heart and the potential for Mogwai incorporating bagpipes into a recording!
And nobody mentioned football once!

"stranger from another planet.....

deathpodal could genuinely brighten your day....
Okay so here's the script.
Glasgow's newest independent label, Electropapknit Records, are about to celebrate their first release. The debut ep from Deathpodal is titled Exu_Wow and was recorded across Scotland featuring a variety of musicians including members of Copy Haho and PVH.
We here at She Said truly believe the view that Deathpodal bring together "post punk, DIY recording techniques, warm undulating melodies and a cacophony of instrumentation". Tonight, Alastair (the focal point of the collective) and Gav (collaborator and old friend of the show) joined us to preview the ep and chat in the loving sensual manner you’ve come to expect by now.
Listen in, check out the links and tell us what you think.
Whilst we're at it, this is your last chance to win 2 Fuck Buttons tickets for the show at the Arches on 24 April. Just message the show's address above with the name of the first Fuck Buttons album. One lucky person will have their name drawn from the hat live on air on the show on 27 February. Cheers to Grainne at Synergy Concerts for the tickets.

Simply tell us the name of the first Fuck Buttons album via email to the show address above. The lucky dude will have their name drawn from the hat live on air on Saturday 27 February.

So this week the She Said team was delighted to welcome back Grainne from Synergy Concerts, possibly the finest independent promoters in Scotland. With a schedule of some very special gigs in the coming months (see link), we were treated to eclectic cutting-edge sounds and dodgy patter including some remarkable insight into hair-styling and taser guns!
Not only do you get to share this arousing listening experience, Grainne has kindly offered 2 Fuck Buttons tickets for the show at the Arches in Glasgow on 24 April. Just email the show at the above address with the name of the first Fuck Buttons album.

....for shouting and shaking and schmoozing and caressing and cooking and stroking and licking and jerking and coming and dancing and scowling and yelling and requesting and laughing and arousing and politely enquiring.
It was yummy

noisy new year niceness from she said
And so the She Said team emerged from the frozen wastelands unscathed, brushing aside musical mediocrity to embrace all that is noisy and right in the world. Tonight, the requests were flowing thick and fast inspiring both musical treats and an impromptu outburst of poetic creativity!
Join us, abuse us and be amazed

good citizenship for beginners.....
Once upon a time in Glasgow there were some really nice guys who got on quite well and decided to form a band. In this band there were guitars and drums and noisiness and shouting, quite a lot of shouting. It was decided this band would be called Citizens. Some observers described them as post-hardcore though She Said generally avoids such tempting labels.
Citizens have mounted a long-standing campaign to appear on She Said with letters, e-mails, endless drinks and offers of seemingly improbable sexual favours. Eventually our meagre resistance was worn down so today, ladies and gentleman of She Said land, we bring you the majesty that is Citizens.
Wayhaay!!

previously married women are coming for you!!
Rest easy people in She Said land, normal business resumed tonight with a bang or should that be a noise as Derek and Allan combined energies and bodily fluids to bring you the Albini inspired loveliness that is Glasgow's Ex-Wives. More specifically, Alastair from the band inspired us with tales of metallic plectrums, occasional cross-dressing and outrageously underhand tactics at bar football in the 13th Note.
Oh aye, there were a few tunes as well.
Outstanding.
x
Posted at 12:58, 28th November 2009
amazing tunes just for you.......
Well it's true the tunes are amazing every week but tonight was no exception. She Said bring you the droney sound of Moon Duo for the first time, some gently melodic noise from the current album by Health, some classic punk rock by the Clash and some chaotic loveliness from Helmet and the Melvins. Oh aye, and despite yer worst fears, a truly memorable example of children singing beautifully courtesy of Yo La Tengo.
Go on, you know you want to.....
x
Posted at 16:26, 13th November 2009
no kidding!!!
No nonsense, no gimmicks, no sitting on the fence, no guests (not tonight anyway!), just the nicest noise you'll hear all night.
No excuse really.........

Posted at 14:49, 31st October 2009
it's an atp saturday - off air at least!!
So as well as the show going out an hour earlier, She Said had a shorter programme this evening. This allowed the team the opportunity to interview ATP guru Barry Hogan at the ABC in Glasgow ahead of tonight's showing of the ATP film and Les Savy Fav gig which of course we enjoyed to the full! Tune in next week to hear the interview and some of Barry's favourite tunes.
Meantime, tune in tonight for some sounds of the usual high standard.

she said love in!!
So after a rollercoaster start to the new season with guests galore from the Glasgow underground and beyond, tonight it was a less frantic affair. Join Derek and Allan as they relax, loosen their ties and quite frankly bring you some of the best shouty, punky, noisy loveliness there is with of course just a smidgeon or two of gentle mellowness.
It's like a pleasingly warm bath with loads of aromatic bubbles. Allow us to shift over, there's plenty room here for everybody......

apocalyptic goth?!?!
Intrigued?? Another first for Subcity as She Said bring you the amazing ethereal surf doom experience that is Vom. The band in their entirety hauled their sweaty bodies and charm into the studio together with a selection of their favourite music. Expect to hear some tracks from the outstanding debut album 'Primitive Arts' and some carefully crafted (!) insight into what makes Vom one of the most creative musical forces in Glasgow.
Come on down

divorce is the only way to go........
They shout, they scream, they could be scary, they are in fact lovely! Glasgow's very lovely DIVORCE are just about to hit the road to celebrate the recent release of a marvellous 10" piece of vinyl. And what's more, tonight they crammed into the She Said studio for some sweaty, intimate and glorious sounds and chat.
Step right this way........

part chimp special
On tonight's show, the She Said team were delighted to bring you an exclusive interview with mighty noise merchants Part Chimp recorded just before their outrageously impressive show in Stereo the previous evening. And of course we played tracks from their new and seriously loud album 'Thriller' not to mention a wee classic oldie as well.
All this plus the usual eclectic mix of punky, DIY noisiness.
You know you want to.....

grozny meet diy glasgow in a moment of loveliness!
For tonight's FM special, the She Said team were overwhelmed with guests of a DIY persuasion and were delighted to welcome Duncan from Grozny and Laurie from DIY Glasgow to the show. Not only did we try to establish what makes one of Glasgow's finest most innovative bands tick, we also got an exclusive low down on next week's awesome underground Glasgow festival.
And what's more, we got to play some of the finest, noisiest, punkiest, most tuneful sounds on the raydeeooo!!

So having spent our alleged summer gathering our strength and experiencing all sorts of musical adventures, it's time to hit the airwaves once more with a newly expanded 2 hour show and a promise to bring you the very best in local and not so local noisiness and Glasgow's finest alternative gig guide.
You will be aroused.

it's the end of civilisation as we know it.....
Well not quite but it is the final show of the season and you lucky people are treated to a 2 HOUR SPECIAL where we shall indeed reflect on some of the many high points of a whirlwind year on She Said. Yes the magical moments, the gorgeous guests, the inevitable nakedness and of course THE BLOODY MUSIC. Expect some Fall, Nirvana, Mogwai, Fugazi, Jesus Lizard, Hella, Sonic Youth, At The Drive In, Mono, Errors, Rolo Tomassi and a whole lot more besides. And yes there will be some quieter moments as well. Punk rock like you've never heard it. Be there x

2 days in stereo special
So taking advantage of Allan's trip to the remote north of Scotland, Derek wisely decided to enlist the services of Gav and Chris, co-curators of the forthcoming 2 Days in Stereo extravaganza.
Listen to them chatter, chuckle and chase each other round the studio as they preview some mighty music that will feature in Glasgow's finest DIY music event.
All this plus an EXCLUSIVE play of a BRAND NEW track by loud Leeds layabouts That Fucking Tank.
Yes

Posted at 20:12, 14th May 2009

Yes indeed, the excitement continues to build as the She Said team ready themselves for a well earned break next weekend down in Minehead. So you can be sure we'll be leaving you with some musical gems this evening.

Posted at 16:47, 2nd May 2009
on his own but not lonely.....
Yes, Derek's never as happy as when he's in the studio pleasuring himself and the listeners. Okay, he actually did acceptably well and selected some damn fine tunes, mostly.....
Posted at 17:34, 28th April 2009

not a bunny or egg in sight!!
Nope, the She Said team didn't resort to cheap seasonal gimmicks to lure you into our presence. We simply teased and seduced you with the finest of noisy music.
Just me and him.
The two of us.
Aye.

grainne braithwaite, queen of synergy on she said
Yes indeed. After months of negotiation and payment of exorbitant fees, the She Said team were delighted to announce we were joined this week by the brains and brawn behind promoters Synergy Concerts, the very lovely Grainne Braithwaite.
Not to be outdone by the legendary appearance on the show some months ago by Stuart 'I only ever wanted to be a gay icon' Braithwaite, Grainne will overwhelm you with good music, excite you about the many, awesome forthcoming Synergy gigs and the inner most secrets of her hair straighteners collection!
Yes I know, you're exited, we're excited, it's the ultimate in aural pleasure.
Wayhaay

...are just two of the special experiences on today's show that await the eager She Said fans. The music will be awesome, the chatter wholesome and the gig guide of course definitive.
Join us now in prayer

Posted at 14:56, 28th March 2009
noise is for heroes......
And so, the crackly FM signal has faded, the guests have scoffed the cakes and departed (for a week or two) leaving just Allan and Derek in the studio. So once more, we did what we do best and touched your dirty, tickly bits in a glorious noisy way with some truly awesome tunes, thoughtful musings and as ever, Glasgow's definitive alternative gig guide.
Sit down, make yourself comfortable, loosen your clothing and let it all happen.

world exclusive as she said welcomes pat nevin!!
Well you lucky people, it doesn't get much better than this as the She Said team finished Subcity Radio's FM broadcast in style. This week we welcomed former Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Everton, Chelsea and Scotland winger Mr Pat Nevin on to the show. As well as picking a pile of tasty tunes, Pat entertained us with tales of glamour and excess and some special memories of John Peel. It was noisy, it was gripping, it was special!!

the glorious return of rock action heros errors
Fresh from gallivanting around Europe with Mogwai and shortly before taking off on their travels once more, Rock Action living legends Errors returned to their favourite radio show. As ever, they brought some cheerful tunes, indulged in some dodgy patter and shared one or two rock and roll adventures from their recent travels.
Here's what some folks had to say about their last appearance in November:
"Frankly, Errors make Barry Burns sound like an amateur musician, I must have them support us in Europe, I'm going to make it happen" - an apparently drunk Stuart Braithwaite from Mogwai.
"Jings, I never realised Greg was American, thanks She Said" - Simon from Errors speaking from his sick bed.
"Being so close to Errors was a truly arousing experience, I may never chat to a girl again" - Derek, She Said presenter.
Tune into She Said on Saturdays from 6-7pm.
Listen to Errors here www.myspace.com/weareerrors

copy haho on she said
Yes indeed, another first for Subcity as She Said went boldly where others fear to tread. Joining us on this week’s FM special were the mighty Copy Haho who're still trying to shake off their Stonehaven twang insisting they come from Glasgow!
They picked the tunes, we all talked nonsense and everyone was seriously aroused. Go on, you know you want to..........
Posted at 17:36, 28th February 2009
coming at ya on glorious fm!!!!
And so for the very first time, She Said's unique blend of mostly noisiness, occasional quietness and all the time sleaziness assaults the FM airwaves.
Come aboard and brace yourself......

put your life on hold for an hour
Honestly, this will be the most eclectic noisy/non-noisy 60 minutes in your whole goddam week and for good measure you get Glasgow's definitive alternative gig guide.
Come and join our sleazy love-in.

Posted at 17:50, 14th February 2009
whit a right fruity bunch!!
So, usually when Derek's left to his own devices, he dances round the studio naked, rejoicing in his own company. However, bereft and inconsolable with Allan off to the mountains, desperation drives him to invite local noisy reprobates United Fruit into the studio for a bit of music and chat. And would you believe, they turn out to be lovely people with damn fine taste.
Enjoy....
Posted at 18:37, 10th February 2009
the start of the rest of yer weekend....
Yes, it was that time again.
The masses joined us on our award winning monster of a show. Our sleazy nonsense brought men and women to tears and the rest of their weekend seemed like a pile of pish, honest.

Posted at 14:30, 31st January 2009
a burns special with a wee twist.......
Well I guess we didn't need much of an excuse to celebrate Scottish music, noisy or otherwise so there was a fair bit of it tonight. And with our own wee twist on a theme, we presented "Outgoing Scotland", the definitive list of who we'd like to chuck out of Scotland and why!
For aw that and aw that pish!!
Posted at 19:21, 24th January 2009
no requests damn you!!
Aye.
So after the request fest that was last week's She Said Versus The Fans special, this week we were totally self-indulgent and brought to you our very own specially chosen blend of largely noisy bits, occasional quiet bit plus definitive perspective on The Clash and why to steer clear of pie-fuelled punk rock!!
Listen and win.
x
Posted at 16:39, 18th January 2009
she said versus the fans
It was totally unintentional but fate collided with the She Said team and saw us working our way through a number of requests on this week's show. Expect some classic punk rock, some brand new local noise, some splendid shoutiness, a splendid wee dancey number, mounting excitement about All Tomorrow's Parties and of course, the legendary She Said Glasgow gig guide.
Posted at 13:02, 11th January 2009
classic this, classic that....
Damn Right.
Despite goddam cold/flu things, the She Said team teased the good people of Subcity land with some classic American punk, classic grunge, classic Fall, soon to be classic Japanese noise and a totally classic acoustic moment from Whiteinch, Glasgow.
Beautiful it was.
Posted at 12:15, 10th January 2009
errors on she said
And so it came to pass that the final She Said of 2008 was a bit of a blinder with Steev and Greg from the mighty Errors joining Derek and Allan in the studio for musical fun and frolics.
They were poked and prodded about the band's most successful year to date, the planned Hogmanay madness in Glasgow and their inexplicable love of dodgy disco!
Yes they picked most of the playlist so be warned.....
Posted at 11:34, 2nd January 2009
winter solstice special
So there were some noisy bits and some gentle harmonies and some punk rock and some sado-masochism and some unanswered questions about female viagra. How's that for an action packed hour?
Posted at 19:33, 21st December 2008
a bloke called phil
Derek and Allan are very pleased to introduce you to Phil. He plays in 2 strikingly different bands (Cerebral Bore and Rainbow Lick). He has a rather accomplished dad and his mum seems lovely as well. He contributed enormously to She Said's fascination with facial hair. And he's very well versed in the joys of homoerotic death metal!!
Phil is a most impressive person and we're confident you'll love him and his music.
Posted at 19:22, 14th December 2008
the joy of pleasuring yerself......
Just Derek on his own but don't fret, the music was bloody awsome and the love shone through.
Posted at 21:31, 12th December 2008
she said love gav
He is from Stonehaven. He makes a very loud noise in PVH. He puts on gigs in Glasgow. He lives in Glasgow. He has very curly hair indeed. His name is Gav and we at She Said love him. He was in the studio with us and our hearts melted.
Posted at 20:59, 29th November 2008
no guests, no gimmicks, no compromise.
Derek and Allan bring you another hour of aural pleasure. Loud music, quiet music, gig previews and awesome chatter.
Saturdays are more fun with She Said

remember remember the 15th november
Another cracking exclusive for She Said sees Graeme Ronald from Rock Action stalwarts Remember Remember in the studio this weekend to preview his first and forthcoming album, play a selection of groovy tunes and join in with our usual mindless, sleazy banter.
And what's more IT'S A GODDAM 2 HOUR SPECIAL!!!!!!
Exciting or what.

Posted at 13:21, 18th November 2008
love-in on she said
So sanity and calm returned to this week's show and it did indeed turn into a bit of a love-in with Derek and Allan. And there were some new/recent tunes from Jackie O Motherfucker, Boredoms and Brian Jonestown Massacre. And there was a preview of next week's awesome 2 Days in Stereo event in Glasgow. And there was some tentative big news about next week’s show.
She Said love you and want your babies

Posted at 21:15, 8th November 2008
dead or american exclusive!!
At great expense and with considerable body odour, She Said crammed the studio with 3 members of the glorious Glasgow beat combo Dead or American. They spoke words of wisdom, stroked their brand new album repeatedly and chose some magical musical moments. It was pure sex!
Posted at 14:30, 26th October 2008
mogwai exclusive on she said!!
She Said love you. She Said make your life better in so many ways. And so this week, She Said welcomed (eventually!!) Stuart Braithwaite from Mogwai into the studio for chat and tunes and cakes. Aye x
Posted at 11:35, 19th October 2008
the heaviest show yet?
Well, it was kind of accidental like. But sometimes you just have to go with your feelings and let the noise take over. And everything was ordered and connected. Oh aye, then there were the requests and the haircuts x
Posted at 16:36, 12th October 2008
she said not punk enough shock horror!!
Aye, so some brave soul tells Derek we here at She Said are not really punk enough for his liking. Ha, we laugh in the face of your misguidedness and deliver a shocking riposte comprising amongst others, the Melvins, Fugazi, Les Enfant Bastard and the one and only Johnny Cash. And Tayside Mental Health are so punk rock they made Marilyn Monroe bleed, continually!
Posted at 19:59, 4th October 2008
the one where errors were working, sob!
In which we find some classic punk, impressive local noise, a mellow moment or two and some controversy about Derek's sexuality. Oh aye.
Posted at 23:16, 27th September 2008
a new season, a new slot
A new season, a new slot, awesome new tunes and plenty of noise. Derek and Allan look forward to you joining them for some sleazy times!
