The Glaswegian accent is something to hear at least once. It's quite a thick Scottish accent; I think I understand something like 45% of what is said to me at any given time.
Here is a very instructional video!
It's slowly getting better though - I've started to pick up what is being said to me, and I'm starting to think in a Scottish accent a bit. ("Teeeeuuuuuuuusday" and "Steeeeeuuuuuuert" are the most prevalent ones in my brain so far, as classes start on Tuesday and I met a guy named Stewart in my program.)
Oh, and for music? Belle & Sebastian is on constant repeat! Check out Dear Catastrophe Waitress if you haven't (download it here). DCW may not their best effort, but it is definitely appropriately Glaswegian. It makes a lot more sense hearing it after being here!
