Daft Punk and Pharrell, Tesco grub and converse at ASOS

I told you I would be back in Blogsville before you could throw an inflatable willy at a church elder. Here's the blog! :)

Daft Punk

They are back. Well, very soon they will be back. With Random Access Memories out on May 21st, we saw a brand new teaser trailer during SNL. Daft Punk, Pharrell and Nile Rodgers getting funky is something I could will watch on loop until the album comes out. AWESOME.

(...still watching on loop...)

Grab some grub

Hungry? Go to Tesco right? Bit of a bug when you find a real-life grub in your pistachios though right?! Disappointed not to find a small horse embryo or something... but this was comical none the less. I still have the evidence... what should I do with it?! Answers on a postcard - or on twitter with #tescogrub

(Tesco's own Angel Delight contains 3% GENUINE angel)

Converse for £11?

Just like finding creatures in your nuts (I'm aware of how that sounds and I'm comfortable with it), you can find some random treasures in the ASOS sale. Check out this funky Converse iPhone cover. It's half price at £10, and there's much more where that came from.

(Please DO attempt to wear your phone case as a shoe)

That's all for this week folks. I'm off to see the awesome Hadouken! at the Arches in Glasgow this Friday with @StephenALOL - drop us a line if you're heading along too. Pics to come in the next blog. ADIOS!

New music, fashion, pop art and Amsterdam competition!

It has been some time since the last TRS blog, I can only apologise, and blame it on being here there and everywhere over the past month! As I started lunges at the gym yesterday, I think I will be sitting for the next few days, so there's plenty of time for blogs :D. Enjoy!

What you should be wearing

Kate Moss posed for Bryan Ferry's "Olympia" album cover. Why? Because he's the man. Now you can be the man too for £8 at Primark. Don't be a jealous guy, buy it now...

(Bask in your new found musical knowledge)

What you should be listening to

CHVRCHES. I'm guessing that's pronounced like Churches, if not, I'm lost. There music is outstanding. It wouldn't be out of place on the Drive soundtrack, but has a kick and purpose behind it as well as some sweet electro-sounding harmonies. Here's the recover EP - check it out!

(Track 3. Do it)

Stylodelic pop art

I've been busy creating some new fashion/pop prints over the last few weeks. Printed on tees or hanging on your living room wall, keep your eyes peeled for more of these on Stylodelic's facebook page.

(Geometric pop art babe)

AMSTERGANG!

So it's went from "igloo-building contest" to "69 shades of grey" outside. And in no way is that depressing...

Good news. One of TRS' favourite tee companies is running a comp for tickets to stoner-central Amsterdam for you and 5 of your mates? Love it. Even if it's raining - you won't be able to feel your face anyway :D. It's not just the holiday, you'll get your hands on Ringspun gear too. Sweet.

(If you win - please take me...)

And finally... where have you been, boy?!

Top of the list was my bro's (@angryandroid83) birthday celebrations. A surprise go-karting Grand Prix was probably my highlight of the year so far! Well, it was almost a surprise, @morjaz6364 not spoiled 2-months of my secret planning THE NIGHT BEFORE... yes, he is till hearing about it.

(Karting hoodlum-style)

I've said it before but I'll say it again. Bigger and better blogs to come more often from now on. Thanks again for reading. Til next time!

Foals, girls on tees and master baking

TRS returns! With a jam packed start to the new year, it's taken longer than expected to get this blog down, but here it is. Enjoy! :)

"Where have you been?" I hear you gasp...

For most of January I was masterbaking. Yes, you heard... baking to an extremely tasty level. It was my first 'new thing' of 2013 and after producing some top notch sponges, I'm pretty much hooked! Fortunately my new thing for February has been joining the gym, so it has saved my belly from ballooning! This fitness lark is also quite addictive... who knew?!

Get this tee

Are you shy and retiring? Can you not look yourself in the mirror?

With this Ringspun tee from SecretSales.com, you won't be able to stop looking at yourself in the mirrored wardrobe! And for just £10 (65% off).

Everyone likes printed tees and topless women, right? No?

Get this music

Foals. Holy Fire. Brilliant album. I was lost in a musical abyss after the disaster that was Delphic's follow up album, and this well and truly got me through the anguish. The return of guitar music to the mainstream?

(Emili Sande, we are coming to axe you down)

Til next time!

All things new for 2013. Tunes, threads and resolutions

It's me, I'm here! After a hectic christmas and NY, TRS is back. I fell into a food coma when last trying to blog in December so thought I'd save it for 2013. Time for all things new...

New tunes - Matrix & Futurebound

2012 is over, and hopefully we see the quick and painless death of Emili Sande's music career. It's time for something fresh, and here's a top quality track that I discovered over the weekend. Drum and bass but with a fresh sound for the new year...

(Kick-ass chorus)

New threads - Blue, Yellow, White.

I went a bit mental with the christmas shopping in November/December, so the thought of shopping for new clothes in Jan in a bit of a killer... cue saviour!

The sales stuff is horrible on the high street, but never fear. For just £90 you can kit yourself out with ASOS Look of the Week. The shirt won't be to everyone's taste but I actually quite like it. Blue, white and yellow are the colours of 2013, so you'll be bang on trend and you might just have some pennies left to wear it out to the pub before payday.

(I hope there's two people in the pub 

wearing exactly this at the same time...)

New skills - masterbaking

Some of you will know about my NY resolution. For the past 2 years it has been to try 12 new things a year. So within about an hour on Thursday night, I'd considered the idea of baking, bought the equipment and ingredients, and baked a cappuccino cake of all things. One down, eleven to go.

Tweet me your NY resolutions @StylodelicDave with hashtag #trs.

(Tasted amazeballs... I'm going to end up a podgemeister)

Same old ...

Unfortunately people are still retards. All we can do is laugh...

Til next time. Please follow me on Twitter :).

It's (Rebecca) Black Friday, Nero, & Southern Comfort ad

Well since my last blog, I've been attacked by internet pirates and contracted man flu... it's time to fight back. There could be no better day on which to post the latest blog. It's.....

(Rebecca) Black Friday!!!

It's time for everyone to shriek in fear. Recoil at the thought of it. Hide from it at all costs... You can make your own mind up as to whether I'm talking Black Friday, or Rebecca Black's "Friday". Either way, I bet it has been a hell of a time since you last heard it, so stick it on and get in that Friday mindset. Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun.

Listen here - you know you want to.

(Let's get #rebeccablackfriday trending)

Okay, some real tunes

If you did jump into the land of teenage dreams and make believe rappers there, here's the remedy. Nero. An electronic act who have some banging beats, and helped Muse produce a couple of tracks on The 2nd Law. If they are good enough for Matt Bellamy, they are good enough for me. Have a listen on Spotify.

Jimmy Choo's Smelly Shoo

It is of course the fragrance from Jimmy Choo. Are you running low on your "Curdled Milk" or "Sewer Submarine" perfume? It's time for something new. I was intrigued to see a fragrance from this guy. There's always the risk that you may smell like cheesy feet for a few months, but then again that could just be your thing!

Loaded Tee

I like this. A lot. There's not much more for me to say here. It's the ergh, colour that does it for me I think...

And if the Christmas shopping all gets too much...

Take a leaf out of this guys book. The new Southern Comfort ad is my favourite thing on television right now, even over Ashley from the Pussycat Dolls. This guy just doesn't give a damn, and is the height of cool. There's a big party season just around the corner so chill out, and have a Southern Comfort (other drinks available) tonight.

(When I grow up... I wanna be this guy)

Have a great weekend!

Jimmy Eat World, Hilton Glasgow and Topman

Here to set trends rather than just discuss them... here's the latest TRS. Sorry for the delay since the last entry, I've been rather busy out and about! Tomorrow night I'll be at the opening party for Chaophraya Thai Restaurant in Edinburgh, with the wonderful @morjaz6364 - so best squeeze this in now :).

Hilton's Bday

Hilton Glasgow celebrated it's 20th Birthday with a great party last Thursday night. I took this pic of the acrobats (may have been waiters) and the ice sculpture, and that's about the last thing I remember. Check out their 3 new bar/restaurants open now - they all seemed pretty slick!

(Ice to see you... I said it)

Topman's Topshelf.

Topman was once somewhere to go when you wanted the coolest tees or something for the weekend. Basically since falling behind to the likes of Primark, they've hit a midlife crisis... Check out this selection from the Argyll Street store.

(Where's Rylan to model these for us?)

Missing The Middle

I've been missing out. It has taken years and finally the discovery of Spotify to bring the joys of Jimmy Eat World to my attention. A great band, and similar to the type of music I'll be making with @StephenALOL in the new Leclerc recording sessions! I'd only ever heard "The Middle", but with so many albums of theirs, I'm have a JEW orgy...... (sounds very odd).

(Celebrity interaction is like heroin - I'd imagine)

I'm a Celebrity

It's started pretty well and I actually recognize at least 8 of the contestants. A welcome break from a lot of the other chaff out there at the moment. Here's a preview...

(Awful at everything bar showering)

See you all next time,

Halloween, Muse, Drive and Gwen Stefani

Now that Halloween has passed, it's going to go Christ-mental (not sure that worked...). I promise not to delve into that until advent calendar time - I will then go mental from chocolate overload. Here's the blog...

Jazzing it up for Halloween

Saturday night's the night for... painting your face in a ridiculous manner. I wish I could do this every weekend in the year, but Halloween is the perfect opportunity to go mental and cause a scene without anyone recognising you as the person doing Gangnam Style in the middle of the road at 3am.

(Any excuse to Boosh it up)

Muse at the SECC

Well you know I had my dilemmas prior to the release of the new album, but my fav band did not disappoint with a brilliant set at the SECC. Right down the front, a few feet from Matt Bellamy at times... AMAZING. The gig focused on a lot of their more anthemic and synthy tracks with amazing lighting and dynamic video walls. Definitely a highlight of 2012!

(Muse Montage - @StylodelicDave on instagram)

Drive

I love this film. It just works. Cool, arty, and an awesome soundtrack including Kavinsky - Nightcall. The reason I bring it up is that I'm looking to get a framed poster for the house, as the artwork is also extremely cool!

(Must watch)

Gwen Stefani and the Twitterati

Twitter's generally somewhere to talk to yourself and hope someone listens. My first tweet to get a pretty large reaction was thanks to the fountain of youth, and Gwen Stefani.

(Tartan is back in this season)

Thanks for reading. I'll try and get the next post up a bit sooner :).
