It's been another week, and maybe some more ramblings in cyberspace or in the real-world. Here are a list of things that I did......

For a first-timer in Scotland, I already know that I will be  coming back here again- in particular to the city of Edinburgh, where I am living for the next two days. It's got all the great features- nice people, a good mix of traditional buildings and attractions as well as modern ones, and it's got cracking nightlife. All the things you need to have a good time.

As promised, Tuneskies of the Day have returned, and what a fantastic day to bring the famous infamous posts back upon. Hadouken! - "For The Masses" (Album) Hadouken! have returned with the release of their latest offering, For The Masses, which brings a new sound to the band which were described as past of the creation of Nu-Rave, along with Klaxons and of course, Shitdisco.
