These snaps were taken at 30 Rock (i.e. the GE Building at the Rockefeller Center) on our first night in NYC. Safe to say my mind was blown. I’ll show you the one I took of the Empire State Building another time.

Dem Slackers lucked out on the remixes – pretty much all of them are excellent, I’ve posted most of them below. HUGE drops. Bart B More keeping up the high quality, Evil Nine keeping the late 80s/early 90s rave vibe going, and Clouds pretty much just obliterating what speaker I had left after the previous ones.

I said I’d write a post about the new Deerhunter album ‘Halcyon Digest’ so here it is. Now a contender for album of the year (along with Best Coast, LCD Soundsystem and Gorillaz) I’ve played the absolute shit out of it since I’ve been back my holidays. Just an absolute stunner. A few exquisite tracks (“Revival”, “Helicopter”, “Coronado”) and an instantly forgettable one (“Sailing”), yet the rest are excellent. Indeed, “Revival” and “Helicopter” will probably be in my Best Of 2010 song list also. “Helicopter” sounds like awaking from a dream underwater. Star Slinger was recently featured on P4K’s ‘Rising’ section and he turns in a lovely little remix here.

The photo? Taken at Graceland, in Elvis’ 13.8 acre backyard. I thought the swing set looked kinda sad.

Finally got some of my LOMO film developed – it’s all in random order because I didn’t label the spools or anything. Here’s a favourite of mine so far (from Centennial Park, Nashville), taken on the spur of the moment as well – they’re always the best ones. Let me know what you think of my photaes! Music you say? OK well there’s this guy that calls himself Four Te….. ah but you knew that already – well then you should also know he’s not put a foot wrong lately so you know this xx remix will be good.

For fun I’ve thrown in this disco song by Van McCoy that I heard everywhere we went in the States for some reason. DO THE HUSTLE! Lastly, this great track by a band called Dawes I heard played at the end of an episode of Hung. It went well.

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.

LOTS of emails – mostly shite – but sometimes a wee gem pops up…. like this mash-up. Simple yet effective.
