On Friday, my dad brought up pretty much all of the things I'd left in my parents' flat when I moved out. Among such antiquated things as video cassettes and an N64 are two boxes of 7" singles I bought (mostly) whilst at college, so I decided to select something from within them to be today's tune. After much deliberation, I decided to go with one of my favourite songs at the time, 'Animal Cannabus', by Mull Historical Society. I've not listened to much by them in the last five years or more, but 'Animal Cannabus' still makes me smile. I first heard it on the long-defunct UK Play television channel, and it was something a bit different for me. I've always had a soft-spot for indie-pop, and Scottish artists seem to do it much better than most. Colin MacIntyre, the man behind Mull Historical Society, manages to steer clear of twee and wrote several songs that I held dear to me back in the century's early years. Seeing as 'Animal Cannabus' introduced me to them, I thought it fitting to select it here.
One by one the doubts return to me...
