Wow – what a fucking week this has been.
Finished my last exam at Edinburgh University ever last Monday and it has been pretty much brutal since then.
The eggs, flour, ketchup, beer, cider, honey, sandwich fillings and pretty much any other liquid substance you can think of came out in force…mmm…tasty.
Yup – good times
But I couldn’t get through a post on here without some relevant music, so here you go:
LCD Soundsystem – All My Friends

The first major night came on Wednesday with the last Itchy Feet of the year. For those that don’t know, Itchy Feet is a night that travels the UK with a bit of a swing/50s feel to it. DJs and a live band in The Five Aces made for an awesome night. Shamefully my camera broke so no pics from me, but there are plenty on good ole’ facebook which I’ve stolen a selection from (thanks guys).
Louis Prima – Angelina

Now into the dance and electro nights at the Caves which were fucking beautiful. First up was Spaced with Cagedbaby on the decks. Huge night. Awesome succes. There is no live recording of their set from friday, but here is Global Guest Mix of theirs from 21-04-2007 (thanks to UMP3).

Saturday night we were all back to the caves for the last RIP with Freestylers on the decks. Took a bit for everyone to get back up for it after the afterparties of the night before (and yeah Penny Blacks for that breakfast pink at 7am), but it all went off with a bang and everyone hit their groove well before the Freestylers came on. They destroyed the floor as expected. Awesome. Again no live recording, but here is their live set from Future Sound of Breaks on 28-03-2008.

We then had Goldrush for two nights in GHQ and EGO. Awesome? Yes, but photos are on facebook. They aren’t all fit for a public blog…
I know this has been my first update in over a month. Finals have been ridiculously busy, but rest assured I have plenty of stuff to get up here in the next few days. Stay tuned.
