So as the curtain falls on another blinder of an Edinburgh Festival, I head out tonight for my final show – Late ‘N’ Live if you must know. Lost my Silent Disco virginity last night and would highly recommend it to anyone. Also bumped into Jimmy Carr and Bo Burnham on the street and got a photo with them… we were more excited about Bo Burnham to be honest! What a talent.

I think I might only do one more post before I leave for a 3-week long road trip across the USA, but I’ll leave you tonight with 3 songs I can’t stop playing. Oh, and Best Coast‘s ‘Crazy For You’ is a contender for album-of-the-year for me.

So we’re just entering the last week of the Edinburgh Festival and I’ve had a delightful time – whether it’s soaking up sunbeams in the Spiegel Garden (see my pic below) or seeing hilarious comedy acts (Seann Walsh, Obama Mia!, Eleanor the Tour Whore) at various venues including the now-infamous Udderbelly Pasture (a massive upside-down purple cow). I’m also writing up my 1st-year PhD report and it’s hellish – I’m off to work on it now actually – but I’ll leave you with these thrillingly effortless tracks by Andras Fox & Sui Zhen, Pitchfork-featured Tropics, Gilles Peterson-featured Ogris Debris and George Fitzgerald. Go outside.

“And this time, give it to me easy.
And let me try with pleasured hands.
To take you in the sun to promised lands.”

‘Tobacco Road’ sounded spectacular at the end of the new episode of Mad Men. It got me in the mood for more 60s/70s tracks I love. I hope you love them too. Plus Lulu‘s Scottish so up ye!
