This photo was taken with my awesome new Diana Mini camera! As for the music, Charlie Darker sneaked his new chillwave-y track over to my inbox. I stumbled across this ultra lo-fi gem from Young Minds. And finally, RAC have put out their 2nd remix album on soundcloud. You should go listen to it…..I’ll wait…..

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.

Only good red eyes, red suits, and faces will radiate
And the cold will hide its face
Now the cold is turned away
We can be best friends with the people we hate
‘Cause we’ve all got blood
And it’s warmer than you think
Yeah it is warm and it is thick (Via) ←♥♥♥♥♥♥ i want to know her

FEEL IT ALL AROUND from Northern Lights on Vimeo.

Well that’s it for another year. Tonight (I think) is officially the last night of the Edinburgh Festival. It’s been a fucking blast I tell ye! Not least for the total randomness of what you see walking down the street that, as an Edinburgh native, just seems normal.

Washed Out is Ernest Greene from Columbia, South Carolina. Really lo-fi, end-of-summer goodness that I’ve been liking lately. I hear he has an album out soon too.
