The Bluebells of Scotland - Show Notes

Get your bagpipes tuned and don your kilts – The Lettuce Podcast is celebrating great rock bands from Scotland! In this episode, Laura introduces Charlotte to three rock bands from the highlands – Garbage, Franz Ferdinand, and Belle & Sebastian. They listen to a couple albums from each band and discuss their impressions of the music, what makes each band unique, favorite/unfavorite tracks, and more. Laura explains her connection to each band and how they've fit into her life and then become a favorite. Charlotte shares which of theses three new-to-her bands is her favorite and which band she'd heard on the radio before. They also talk about which band's lyrics were more scandalous than they initially realized, which song made Charlotte cry, and which album's experimental songs didn't work. After conversing about each artist's music and style, each album is rated on a scale of 1 to 5 Chards. Which album got the highest rating from the two hosts? Which band reminded Charlotte of Rocky Horror Picture Show? Which artist may have been the secret inspiration for Laura's hair color? All these topics and more are discussed on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

Feeling inspired by the creativity of music, Charlotte and Laura flex their creative muscles by writing haiku about these Killer Scottish Bands. They then close out the Fun & Games segment by taking a Buzzfeed quiz to determine how Scottish they are.

This episode's podtail was a bit of a cultural mash-up. Charlotte enjoyed some (Scottish?) sangria and Laura sipped on Belhaven Scottish Ale. Slainte! Here's tae ye!
