New look blog, Rolling Stones at Primark and some cats.

Hey guys and girls. It's the first blog with the new layout - I hope you all like it, and I'll tell you a bit about it later in the blog. Read on... :)



New Band Alert

The name? Kitten. These guys have been around for a little while though I only discovered them recently with their track on FIFA13. 25 mins of Spotify later and I'm a big fan. The synth and drums do it for me on 'Cut It Out' and that's just the first track. Click here to visit their website where you can give them a listen.

(Getting my hair like this...)

TRS Redesign

In all honesty, the previous design on here was a bit shit. I had a lot of thoughts I wanted to share with you, so the look of the blog took a backseat until I got a minute! This new design draws inspiration from my readers, the posts, and the depths of my oddball brain. Let me know what you think @StylodelicDave (on Twitter).

Rolling Stones at Primark

The printed tees/jumpers in Primark are often on the verge between cool and affordable, and cheap and nasty. I did however find a gem today. It's the Stones. It's classic black and white. And you could've bought it anywhere... ;).

(Stylish. Get it on)

Red Bull Stratos.

Couldn't believe when I saw that dude leaping from Space... truly a brilliant moment. Did anyone press the red button where you saw that he wasn't alone in the pod?? Filmed 10 seconds after decent...

(There's no food in here... f*ck it)

Thanks for reading.

H&M Fashion, Muse, Lana and Mexicans

SO my innate ramblings have got me here... I have a good few regular readers now, and thanks to everyone who's checked out my page either once or every time a new blog goes up. I'm gonna try and focus a little on what Stylodelic is all about. Great design, my take on latest trends/culture and of course... all things style.

Once upon a time in Glasgow

Wellington was feeling the heat this week, switching his regular road cone for a sombrero... one too many tequila's I think!

(Are you a Mexi-can... or a Mexi-can't?)

M-m-m-m-m-muse - The 2nd Law

It's been out for a week now, and I was so afraid of my love for these guys being tainted, it took me 3 days to buy it. I am a fool for ever doubting though... This is everything any music fan could ask for! It reminds me of The Wall by Pink Floyd for some reason... 10/10. Listen in Spotify below.

(I just started using Spotify this week... do I have special needs?!)

 

Another musical discovery

The Temper Trap's new album went under the radar a little bit! Absolutely brilliant track on there though... It's very Smiths in it's political references!

The Temper Trap - London's Burning (opens in youtube)

(Back on the scene - loved their first album)

Sleeves

So the latest trend seems to be jackets with sleeves of a different material. A take on baseball classics. As I'm all about H&M right now, here's a pretty cool number with a decent price tag of £39.99. I like this. Get it here.

(Maybe H&M will let me meet Lana if I keep going buying from them?!)

Speaking of LDR

Here's my latest illustration of my muse-of-the-moment! Pretty happy with it. Time to try painting her next I think!

(Can only apologise for the awful photo... but she still looks stunning!)



That's all for this week folks! Thanks for reading!

Phantom, Threads and The Killers

Well I managed to bag a sneaky day off today, so that's me free to reflect on the past weeks events...

Phantom of the Opera

Last Friday saw me sitting front row, centre of the circle in Edinburgh Playhouse watching the newest performance of Phantom. Having grown up listening to the soundtrack... was a genuinely amazing experience to see it live for the first time. Highly recommended.

H&M

This place has really mad an impression on me in the last year. Some awesome threads and with Lana Del Rey (definitely would) and David Beckham (possibly still.would) sporting their range, they must be doing something right.

(Resisted temptation to super-impose myself...)

The Killers

YESSSS! So I've been awaiting this album along with Muse' latest effort for some time, worrying if they will be back at there best... good news, if you think Sam's Town was the Killers doing it properly, this album has a lot of similarities, and some really good tracks! Definitely worth a download and up there for best album of the year.

(The Killers - Battleborn. Rated 8.5/10)

 

Well I must go and enjoy my long weekend! Much love :)

Crowds in Glasgow and music madness

So it's been a week or so since I last blogged, and it's been a pretty random 7 days with Olympians parading through Glasgow and celebrities outside the office window...

 

Muse/Killers

So first off, two of my favourite bands right here. The only problem is, I'm extremely worried about their latest releases... Muse' Olympic track was a bit of a right off apart from a couple of cool guitar bits, and although Madness is a good track, it's not on par with what they've brought out in the past. Again, the Killers single just felt a bit "let's just get this out there". Looking forward to a pleasant surprise!

Youtube links:

Muse - Madness

The Killers - Runaways

Robbie Williams

Bit of interest outside House of Fraser during the week as Robbie Williams launches some new range on Buchanan Street right outside our office. Pretty random to say the least. My mum is ""Well Jel"...

( My pic is going strong on Twitter!)

Pussy Riot

Remember the band that made a scene in a Russian Cathedral? Well as it's obviously the cool thing to do (Julian Assange/Kone style), a whole host of people are rallying behind something they know little about. I did however like this illustration as cat's are in general pretty hilarious...

Pussy Riot merchandise on Fab UK.

Sloan Sabbith

My favourite show on TV had it's season finale on Tuesday. The Newsroom on Sky Atlantic is genuinely the only thing that's kept me in front of the box for years. Jeff Daniels played a blinder, but it was all about Sloan Sabbith (played by Olivia Munn)... PLEASE GOD give us a second season - and definitely get the box set if you missed it!

Til next time folks...

Segway rallying, books and boobs

Been a busy weekend with bowling and a house party to say goodbye to Big Al who's heading to the States for a couple of years, followed by some Segway Rallying on Sunday! I sound like I get out a lot don't I? Excellent...

Pulp

So when I blog I tend to tag my topics on Twitter, FB etc. Pulp Fiction came up in last weeks blog and this has lead to an outstanding discovery on Twitter! "Topless Pulp Fiction" seems to be the liberal book-worm and peeping Tom's paradise! Not for the faint hearted. Follow them here: @ToplessPulp

(Anne Hathaway and Helen whats-her-face from Soccer AM)

Segway Rallying

My uncle is often lost for what to get me and my bro (@AngryAndroid83) for Christmas, but this time he hit the nail on the head with what at first sounded a bit odd... Segway Rallying. But this was well and truly one of my favourite experiences of the year! Pics to come on Twitter soon! Definitely try it if you ever get the chance!

(Helmets ALWAYS make me look spesh)

H&M

Pretty cool tee in H&M at the moment. I'm not the biggest Nirvana fan (excuse my ignorance) but if you are, I really like the design on this number.

(Screw it, I'll download there album so I can buy this tomorrow...)

Well that's all for tonight guys,

Til next time, much love!

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,

@StylodelicDave

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 ;).
