Vacation 2008: Day 1 - Ain't gonna gamble

Witch Baby stops the world and melts with you.

The weather has entered devil's armpit territory, so I've decided to postpone my usual roster of Saturday chores and sequester myself in the air-conditioned bedroom along with a choice selection of books, music, and DVDs.

Yes, it's a tragic situation, but I'll just have to learn to live with this meteorologically enforced leisure time.

Sly & The Family Stone - Hot Fun in the Summertime (from Greatest Hits, 1970) - Eternally cool.

Giorgio Moroder - Too Hot to Handle (from From Here to Eternity, 1977) - What the Human League dared to emulate and the basis of Daft Punk's famous discovery.

The Minds - Hot (from Plastic Girls, 2003) - In which we discover the boiling point of raucous, hooky synthpunk.

Nice tracks, but here in Edinburgh, in Scotland, it's raining. It rained yesterday and it will rain tomorrow. It's also cold. This is the Scottish summer. never mind, in three weeks its the Balearics and the Devil's aarmpit. Bring it on.
