I Build Collapsible Mountains.
By far one of my favourite musicians & also one of my favourite people, so I'm very happy to say that we're featuring him - the lovely Luke Joyce (who also happens to be an awesome photographer, e-mail him with requests) on our website this month.
The track 'Face Of Thunder Grin' comes from his upcoming album 'Spectator & The Act' which will be released through American label Burning Building Records on the 11th October. I've been lucky enough to have a wee listen to the other album tracks too & by Jove your ears are in for a treat.
I Build Collapsible Mountains will be playing in the GoNorth Tour stage at the Wickerman festival this weekend, so if you're going make sure to pop in for a listen & if not head on over to our website & have a listen now!
If you would like your music to be featured on our website, send your tunes to our Soundcloud dropbox.

Music For My Ears.
Thank you to everyone that sent over their music this month, as always it's great to hear such varied & passionate musicians.
This month we have chosen the lovely (Shortfin) Mako Shark to be featured on our website.
'We are (Shortfin) Mako Shark. The project started towards the end of 2008 when Lucia and I (Clara) decided to start playing songs together. Later we got tons of help from a friend called Larra who is awesome at playing guitar (and many other instruments) and who recorded our first and second EP, so we asked him to join the band as well, since he was really involved. We get together from time to time (we've lived in different cities a couple of times, so we don't have any kind of schedule, we just play whenever we feel like it) because playing music feels good.'

Music for the month.
i heart...
getting to listen to all the amazing songs that are sent our way each month for our Music To My Ears project.
This month we've chosen to feature Tom Irvine & his song 'Bubblewrap'.
'I'm still just starting out and I'm in the process of getting a band together to perform my songs live. I try to use as many nice noises and instruments as I can to create interesting, but more often just catchy, music. Some of my main influences include Menomena, Conquering Animal Sound and Meursault. I'm much more used to playing louder, guitar-based, shouty music, so this is all a bit of an experiment for me, but it's nice to finally be writing songs that are actually pleasant to listen to!'
You can listen to Tom's tune over on our website - www.iheartdotdotdot.co.uk
And if you fancy sending some music to us too, pop it into our soundcloud dropbox & we'll have a listen - www.soundcloud.com/iheartdotdotdot/dropbox

Musiccc.
i heart...
music.
We've received so many different kinds of music for our Music To My Ears project. Everything from folk, pop, experimental, metal, country, trance, electro & instrumental! Thank you so much to everyone for submitting their songs, it was a pleasure to listen. However, this month's song, which will be featured on our website for the next month is...
'Peephole' by Synonym! As much as I struggle to say the word synonym (it usually comes out symonyn) I do love this song. It reminds me of the soundtrack for one of my favourite films -The Science Of Sleep.
Synonym is the experimental electronic alter-ego of Allan J Swan of instrumental metallers You Already Know (you should definitely go & check them out too) & have been making music since way back in 1993 when I was just a sproggit. Head over to our website now & have a wee listen...

i heart...
being a busy bee.

we've been frantically making handmade bits as this sunday we'll be hopping on the bus down to glasgow & will have ourselves a lovely stall at Granny Would Be Proud in Hillhead Bookclub once again. come along & say hello!
we've been fighting crime against css & html to get our online eco-shop looking beautiful ready for it's launch on the 30th april. i've also been fighting the urge to keep all the new eco-tastic stock for myself!

i've also decided to separate my own work from i heart... & have it simply under my own name - Iona Bruce. i've made a wee facebook page & will add new bits to it after all this mayhem dies down a bit! but it would be lovely if you could pop over & 'like' my page.
we've also been busy preparing for the next Meet & Make session on the 1st may. if you would like to book a place send us an e-mail on hello@iheartdotdotdot.co.uk
we've also been busy organising an event for Voluntary Arts Week, more will be revealed soon but get your knitting needles ready! & if anyone knows of any yarn businesses that would be up for donating some yarn to a good cause, please do get in touch.
and of course we've been over-seeing our projects Post A Patch & Music To My Ears.
please do keep your patches & tunes coming!
so there you go, we're busy but there's plenty for you to get involved & busy with to, get to it!

music to my ears.
i heart...
music.
and i've been dying to organise a music-based project for yonky donks. for a few months last year i was very lucky to be part of Glasgow PodcART & through this got to hear loads of talent-ridden new music from bands & musicians around scotland. after moving up north i've unintentionally fallen out of the loop when it comes to music & want to rectify that. Glasgow PodcART does an amazing job at being a platform for new music via it's podcasts, reviews, interviews & gigs, something i'm still a strong believer in. so, here's our first music project...
every month we'll pick a song to be played on our website (you can have a peek now & listen to a lovely song by esperi) along with a link to your band site/bandcamp/myspace, allowing your music to be heard & enjoyed by lots of people & hopefully give you a helping hand to get your music to get out there.
all you have to do is send your tracks to our SoundCloud dropbox...
...and we'll pick a track once a month to will be featured on our website. as with all of i heart...'s projects, it is open to ALL. whether you're an established artist or just sing in the shower, we would love to hear your music.
xox.
