Every Generation Thinks It’s The End Of The World
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009I posted previously on what I got up to on Friday, but I didn’t mention what else I got up to at the weekend, and it ended up being one of the best weekends I can remember. Only recently started listening to Little Boots. This song sounds very 2009! I like it.
MP3: Little Boots – New In Town

Saturday morning. Hungover. Went to TK Maxx with the presbyterian(+ the one from blackpool) for a pair of sunglasses and ended up buying 2 because I couldn’t decide which suited me more. We literally spent about 3 hours in that fucking place. Fuck knows how. After that we hung out on the meadows then went to Halifax’s for dinner (+Britain’s Got Talent final) and met a great medic called Mungo. We all then went out to the Peartree til closing, and on to Shanghai (the club, not the city). Do do, do do do do, JAWS. It’s looking more and more like Wilco‘s new album is gonna be my ‘summer album’ this year. These 2 tracks are back to back on the album and they perfectly complement each other. You Never Know is a pumping, sunny rocker to get-your-strut-on to, while Country Disappeared is a laid back late-afternoon affair. Stunning.
Sunday morning. More hungover. Organised a trip to Portobello beach for a BBQ. There was about 10 of us in total, all tucking into burnt sausages and a massive game of frisbee. Great laugh. After about 5 hours in the sun, we packed up and got a DiRollo’s icecream. That night most of us went to a pub quiz at the Merlin. Came 3rd. Took goofy photos of ourselves. It was the Irish man’s last weekend in Edinburgh too, and I think it capped off one of those weekends where you just don’t want to back to work on Monday. I haven’t seen ‘Up‘ yet but I just know I’m gonna love it. The trailer had me laughing. The soundtrack is fantastic. I love soundtracks. I especially love songs like ‘Carl Goes Up’. You don’t even have to see the film to tell that this piece of music will be played when the house is lifted from its foundations and balloons into the sky. Now that’s composing.
