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.

a.k.a. Cockenzie Power Station if this picture is to be believed.
I’m actually feeling really rough today; was out last night for the opening night of the festival and I got very merry. Took the Holga too – so hopefully after I get the photos processed they’ll be good enough for the blog. Lots of famous comedians were spotted – Jack Whitehall, Jim Jeffries, Noel Fielding and…Caroline Rhea a.k.a. Aunt Hilda from Sabrina The Teenage Witch who we all proceeded to call Aunt Zelda until she corrected us hahahaha. Watch this space for that photo.

“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!

Probably my favourite Led Zeppelin song just for the way he sings that line; it’s impossible not to mouth it while big Bobby Plant howls the fuck out of it! I’d recommend A Single Man for all you film buffs. It’s one of those films that seems better in retrospect. Every scene looks like a painting. ‘Green Onions’ and ‘Stormy Weather’ were both featured as well and brought back memories of me and my friends listening to Green Onions playing Final Fantasy VII when I was like 14 hahahaloveit.
Listen ♫: Led Zeppelin – Misty Mountain Hop ←♥♥♥♥
Listen ♫: Booker T. & The MG’s – Green Onions ←♥♥♥♥
Listen ♫: Etta James – Stormy Weather ←♥♥
