“Aaaggh my eyes, my eyes!” Yes, that is indeed *cough cough* Edinburgh rock ‘n’ roll pinup Mr. Neil Pennycook of Meursault in that video there.  These are from a session for Location Music TV, which Neil recorded with Scott from Frightened Rabbit.  You can see all the videos on their YouTube channel, including Scott and Neil doing a Bruce Springsteen cover, as well as Scott’s solo version of Fun Stuff.

Red Candle Bulb, the song at the top of the page, was originally written by Dan Willson from Withered Hand, and it appears on Meursault’s Nothing Broke EP, as well as Withered Hand’s You’re Not Alone under the name of Oldsmobile Car.

It’s an absolutely gorgeous song, which Dan apparently wrote in collaboration with Neil as well as Cammy from Enfant Bastard, and I have heard rumours of an absolutely brilliant live Enfant Bastard version of this, although never been lucky enough to witness it myself.  Meursault actually recorded an amazing version whilst pissed in the back of our van a couple of years ago, and despite the sound coming from nothing but the built-in mic on the camera it actually sounds amazing.

I’ve embedded the Toad Van version below, as well as the Location Music version of Flittin’ which I kind of assume will be making an appearance on the third Meursault album, and for all the rest of the session, including the Frightened Rabbit stuff, go to locationmusic.tv.
