Revamped old stuff...

Playlist
Alice Cooper – I’ll Bite Your Face Off/Caffeine
Cloudland Blue Quartet – 2012 Demos
DDHR – The Drone Effect (2011 Mix)
Various – Party Bus
Various – Ministry of Sound : The Annual Summer 2011

Up at 6:30 and once again uploading pics to here and writing up last Tuesday’s trip to Monaco...

And downloading the new Alice Cooper single...

Then working on compilations for a trip tomorrow...

Uptown on the bus with Annie as we visited the newly reopened National Museum of Scotland...













Including an impressive display re the history of home listening...

























...a bubble car and a mini...





...and a Millenium Clock...



The views from the rooftop garden were impressive (unlike the weather)...





I think I preferred the museum prior to the revamp, although it’s quite impressive...

Another piece of the past disappears...

A light lunch at Vittoria’s on George IV Bridge...





...followed by coffee and cake directly opposite in the patisserie there...



A walk down through the Grassmarket and I took a look in Avalanche...

So depressing that there are so few record shops left in Edinburgh now – Avalanche has been open in its new location for around a year and it’s still an untidy mess really...

Needs sorting out...

Ogling guitars in the shop next door and interested in a WAV/MP3 recorder which might be handy for field recordings...

Home, via the building site - it's coming on...



...and partook of Ministry of Sound’s Annual for Summer 2011 – some catchy tunes, best played at excessive volume...

On TV, Tivo’d “New Tricks”, live “Big Bang Theory” and last week’s Tivo’d “Torchwood” – still far too much padding...

Highlight of the Day : Out with Annie...
