BBC Scotland - Air with Vic Galloway Session
Out of the blue, a post appears on the Biffy Board...
...from Neil, the band's tour manager, announcing that the band will be appearing on Vic Galloway's Airshow, on BBC Radio Scotland later on in the evening. This is of course noteworth in itself, but even moreso for the fact that it wasn't mentioned in the weekly dispatches that the BBC send out each week detailing the playlists. Even more interestingly, the session is live in George Square!
As I pass by the Square on my way home from the gym, i can see the band setting up - bizarre, and random! By the time 8.25 comes, the band are there, and it's a bit airy, but that doesn't deter the crowd of some 20 or 30 emo thinglings, boarders, random passersby and neds that have congregated to see what the three bearded men with guitars are going to do.
After a brief interview, the band play a rather nice version of Glitter and Trauma, with the classic line 'you never listen... neds never listen'... in response the be-tracksuited youths bobbing around on the periphery of the crowd talking fluently in senga-ese. Another few words with the band follow (not that anyone in the crowd can hear it - the powers that be in the control van have elected not to have the band's vocal mikes running through the PA, whilst Galloway's is... go figure!), before they play... *gasp* - a new song! It's called As Dust Dances, and is rather lovely... it's hard to tell whether or not it's a rocker or not, because the stripped down version of G&T is so far away from the original that I don't think you can draw any conclusions about As Dusk Dances, other than it's a very deep song.
There are a few rips (of varying quality) of the session kicking about yousendit and the like...
As Dust Dances isn't released yet, and although it's being distributed around anyway, I don't think it'd be appropriate to put it up here for download, as it's still unreleased, and possibly not finalised. After the new album's out next year.. then we'll see.
You can, however, listen to it again for the next week or so (till about the 25th of July)

BBC Radio 1 - Zane Lowe
The Antipodean VeeJay/DJ's constant 'mon the biffy' whoring finally pays off for the band, who get a primetime radio 1 session slot on one of the most respected Radio 1 shows for new and innovative music - the show later went on to win several gongs at the national radio awards, which is always nice. Nice bloke, Zane Lowe, too, look:
Bloody drunks...
Anyway...
Biffy's Cover of Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out"
Awesome. :)
Much kudos to Ed Hails for hooking the site up with this session (although maybe as much is to do with certain people avoiding revision.. but nice one anyway!)

John Peel Session
Cult status at last... the band (and various boarders) achieve a kind of immortality, by being featured in a 3 track session on John Peel's BBC Radio 1 evening program. The band played a brutal brutal cover...
There's a link to the BBC Site where it's mentioned too. I'm not 100% sure about the date for this - the Peel subsite on the BBC R1 site says it's the 29th of July 2004, but that seems very far into the year - I was sure it was much earlier than that... not to worry, we'll go with that date for now.
Edit 07/01/07 - The revamped Peel site says it was in January, so we've moved the date.
of Fleetwood Mac's "You can go your own way", alongside "With Aplomb" and "Liberate The illiterate", not to mention the radio debut of "There's no such thing as a Jaggy Snake".
Not only is this my favourite version of 'Liberate...' but I also got the added bonus of being namechecked, in full, by the Legend that is John Peel. Result. I think I owe Mr Noble a favour or two for that.

XFM Session for Zane Lowe (27-03-03)
This is one the last sessions Zane did on XFM before going to the BBC. It's a very nice session, the day before Simon broke his ankle jumping off a stack of speakers at the QMU in Glasgow. Still sounds as chaotic as ever!
