Pen is Sexy

Hot right? Well I bought this baby a few days ago and it is the sexiest piece of kit I have ever owned. So sexy that even after I lost 8 years worth of photos in a hoover vs external hard drive accident and became dis-enamoured with the whole digital photography scene that I think I might just love it all again.

Hogmanay 2008/2009

Jerk Alert! — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 18:00:10 +0000

What a view this was! New years celebrations in Edinburgh can start to get a little old if you live here but this will be one I will remember for a long time. I was more fascinated by how much the crowd were enjoying themselves than listening to the DJ’s. One of the guys from Hot Chip was there along with…now I want to say The Hoosiers but it may well have been Scouting For Girls. They are pretty much the same band so it’s not like it makes a difference since I can’t even remember what music they played. It was the atmosphere that I will remember – it was electric, and one of the only recent Hogmanay’s I actually enjoyed.

Roll on Hogmany 2009/2010 – bet you can’t top this one!

What’s Your Vice?

Jerk Alert! — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 16:05:53 +0000

So…I go all the way through to Glasgow for “Blyk & Vice Present…Unitaur” at the ABC and they may as well have held it in Edinburgh what with the Edinburgh scene kids out numbering the Glasgow scene kids 3 to 1. The myth that Glasgow is Scotland’s music mecca is something I have never understood and this will be the last time I ever go through to Glasgow for something like this. I made this mistake once before by going to “Indian Summer” and it won’t be one that I make again.

Having said this, I rather enjoyed myself. I got to hit someone with my camera when they thought that dry humping my ass and shoving me up against the stage repeatedly was a good idea. I don’t care how awesome Crystal Castles are – dinnae touch me. The only thing they will get if they force their over excitement on me is pain.
