The best and worst of music, and a couple of classics combine

Well? Have you came across a pregnant Chinese woman yet?! Of course not... they don't exist (disclaimer: they possibly do). You may have to check out the previous blog to understand that, but here comes the latest one...

Songs that shouldn't exist

I know you need the bad to make the good stand out, and the brilliant shine, but really... I'd be happy if all shit music was binned. I'm talking about lack of effort, literally none. Listen to this song I heard whilst browsing in TK Maxx yesterday (payday shopping addiction)...

Kwes - Bashful (opens in youtube). Literally the worst song I've heard in years - please share my pain.

iTunesFestival

On the other hand there's 30 days of live music at the Roundhouse in London. Some top acts like Muse, Deadmaus, Lana Del Rey and the usual suspects as well (Jessie J, Noel Gallagher etc... meh). Visit here and select as many gigs as you'd like to go to (all of them if you're mental) and you can win tickets with a simple click!

Pulp Fiction meets Street Fighter II

And I jizzed, in, my pants... The arcade game all movie and gamer geeks would love to play. Unfortunately, it's not real. I was a bit premature there (need to get that sorted). It's actually a tee design by Filippo Morini (buy it here) however, it's begging on someone developing it! The perfect app store game?! I'd say so...

(Who would you go? Shotgun Butch...)

See you all next time, get involved on Twitter: #therealstylodelic

Much love,

Drop it hard... not the babies!

I feel my blogs gain more prestige and mystery by leaving them to a more weekly thing.... and also I'm a lazy bastard. Here goes nothing...

Skrillex

So apparently this is what all the cool cats are listening to. I did my music snob part (yes I am ashamed) and shunned this guy for over a year, but now I've finally given in. And yes, I've been missing out... god dammit.

(Replacing Pendulum on my playlist)

Where do Chinese babies come from?!

No this is in no means a racist or controversial story, purely one that will make your mind boggle! Following @Laughbook on Twitter is often hit or miss. They will throw in some amazing one liners, yet cancel these out with horrible teen angst and relationship-related phrases begging on retweets from emotional girls. The tweet below did however get me thinking!

Eat HERE

If you fancy heading somewhere a bit out of town for dinner one night, try The Park Bistro on the canal bank right next to Linlithgow. We went there to celebrate my mum's birthday, and the service, food and atmosphere were all top notch. It's quite pricey, but you truly get what you pay for.... a sirloin steak to follow a delightful Chicken Liver Pate in my case. To die for.

There's more I could hit you with right now, but I'll save it for next time. The Hobbit has been teasing us for 3 years now so you can wait a couple of days ;).

Awkward moment

So this weekend saw the continuation of my 12 New Things a Year challenge... throwing up some awkward turtles you'll see below. Here's the blog...

Archery

Some merry men were holding a taster session for archery where I go swimming this weekend, so I viewed this as a perfect chance to try something new and ad to my list which already includes everything from VIP escapades to sewing...

The main problem was the awkwardness of realising I was the only adult in a sea of 4 to 8 year old kids when the doors slammed closed behind me. Was good fun when I got up there, but still... facepalm.

Bridge Diving

No, not another exciting pass time, but the news that Ridley Scott's bro Tony has apparently committed suicide by jumping from a bridge in L.A. He directed Top Gun and perhaps felt he'd sore like a fighter jet through the sky, but in all honesty, he's just a scumbag who's left his loved ones to wonder what they could have done to prevent this for the rest of their lives... pathetic mate. (Shit I'm blogging about morals)

The Perfect Pour

I for one have no idea how to serve coffee if someone is round at mines. I have it in my cupboard but don't drink the stuff and wouldn't know where to start. Here's the solution. A cool graphic that shows how to make all types of coffee. Seems something a bit odd about calling one 'The Long Black'.

See you all next time! Caffeined out your eyeballs.

Blood, diamonds and the Daniels

I'd say I've successfully returned to the world of blogging after recovering from Olympics fever yesterday. Here's some stuff that's caught my eye today!

Glasgow in Black and White

I've been taking a lot of shots of Glasgow before and after work these days. Designing for a website, you often need to get your creativity surging outside the office rather than inside. The streets of Glasgow look pretty cool with a b&w instagram filter...

(some crazy reflections on the buildings - follow me @stylodelicdave)

Lana Del Rey

Saw a cool shot of Lana Del Rey on a tee yesterday. I like her face so Google Image'd her, and this led to a couple of hours of sketching last night. It's a diamond in her mouth - not a pog.

The Newsroom

TV really is shit these days. You can choose from either Eastenders, some drunken twats with too much money or whatever's on Channel 5.

I have however found a gem of a show called The Newsroom with Jeff Daniels in the lead role, as anchor. It's on Sky Atlantic and Sky Player. Here's not driving a giant dog, but still give it a watch. It's well reem.......

That's all for today guys and girls,

Til next time!

Post Olympics Blues...

A smell of stale bacon razzlers (you know the occasional pack that have been opened already and you don't notice) was in the air as I walked through the death trap that is the St. Enoch centre... it pretty much summed up how I feel now that London 2012 is done!

However, I've cut the noose down from the ceiling and here's my first attempt at a blog upon my return to the real world.

It's Over

So the Olympics has passed us by leaving amazing memories, but also making me realise that there's so much more I could be doing with my life! The athletes really are the true icons for our generation in every possible way, but it'll now go back to John Terry cursing and spitting and Geordie Shore scrotebags getting their plastic tits out... #Facepalm.

Android Photos

Nope, not the latest footage from Mars featuring little green aliens, but some cool apps in the Google Play store... Some great free apps out there to be had that'll turn your Instagram efforts into something a little more eye-catching. Check out PicFrame for easy collages. Also, Photo Editor let's you draw on top of your photos/images, whilst for you vain lot out there, Beauty Camera lets you paper over all those imperfections in cheesy grin. Yes, I've tried it......

(this is what you expected to see right?)

Just a short one today as I'm still struggling to put sentences together without getting the urge to type "REDRUM REDRUM"... goodbye @TeamGB, we will miss you all! (Apart from you Phillips Odowu).

Much love,

@StylodelicDave

Google's doodles, comedy and Topman

What a few days it's been in the Olympics! The fear of too much expectation has been washed away in the water and on land thanks to our amazing @TeamGB athletes! Whilst we get all swept up in the moment, Google's Olympic efforts are floundering a little...

Google Olympics

So Google have decided to make two weeks of Olympic based doodles... pretty neat idea right? But would someone explain to me why today's table tennis effort is the shape of a sanitary towel? #AnyOtherShape

Belly buttons out

The girls do it all the time. In summer you can expect to see a lot of flesh, though it looks like Topman have again gone a bit far with their tees... I like my low V or U-necks, but this is bordering on a mankini. Navels out lads.

Purchased

I did manage to escape the gravitational pull of the V, and as I clung to the rails for dear life, I pulled this grasped hold of this number. Topman's sizes are notoriously fucked up, but this shirt fits nicely, expect to see me in it soon.

 

Mark Watson

He's one of my favourite comedians and I went to see him at Funny in Falkirk on Tuesday. Absolutely brilliant show... I got a bit of interaction too! He's doing the same gig at the fringe - highly recommended.


Well as its a nice evening I'll keep it short. Some beers after work tomorrow, so who knows when you'll next hear from me...

Much love,

@StylodelicDave
