Kushi's, Dunfermlines New King of Curries

When I was over in Hyderabad last year. I was disappointed with the quality of the much touted Biryanis, which, being a specialty of the region I had high expectations for. My faith in the humble Biryani was restored last night however by a carryout from the newly opened Kushi's in Dunfermline, which was superb. The last time I had a Biryani this good was in the UK's former number 1 Indian restaurant Quilon in London, where the cost was considerably more.

In fact everything about Kushi's is superb from the food, the decor, the service to the rather cool name. I'd eaten in Kushi's over the bridge in Edinburgh so was anticipating great things from their new sibling. Butter Chicken, Lamb Karahi, Chicken Tkka Masala and Chicken Jalfrezi are all cooked with style and aplomb and the deserts, including a most excellent Kulfi Faluda, all make a satisfying end to a great meal.

Bravo Kushi's, Dunfermline's new king of curries. Long live the king.

It has been ages since I enjoyed a good Biryani. It's only 11.15am here and your description is already making me hungry for some curry!

Summer Love - The Narcotic Daffodils 🌞❤

1.  Summer Love 2. Naturally High 3.  Guardians 4. Hypnotized 5. You can't get 6. Bruxelles 7.  Atomic 53 It's been three years since the band's last album, Cellex, was released, and there have been a number of personnel changes since then, with Luna taking up vocal duties, Arne the drums and Maria the Guitar. I remember hearing Maria playing with an all-girl band many years ago and they blew me away, so the prospect of her joining the Narcotic Daffodils  was exciting. As before, the bass is supplied by the inimitable Flupke with Simon providing Sitar and keyboard licks on the Hammond. 1. Summer Love Any fears that the new lineup have lost the spirit of the old are quickly dispelled by the opening and title track of the album, Summer Love. Gilly Smythe, Gong # style, whisper-voices draw you in before Flupke's bass kicks in with the Hammond, underpinning, proceedings. The song ends with a melange of Sitar and synth, underlining the fact that the Nar

Daffodils & Crêpes

Image
I wandered lonely as a cloud, That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crepe eating crowd, A host, of narcotic daffodils. L'amuse Gueule crêperie, a strange venue for music, but in psychedelia strange is good. The last pancakes were munched, the diners departed and the strains of a sitar filled the air. Cue guitar, bass & drums and some hypnotic, pulsating music from The Narcotic Daffodils . At times reminiscent of Hawkwind in their prime, the band produced a wall of sound that had me in head banging heaven. They did however vary their sound quite a bit, with two covers thrown into the mix for good measure. Personally I'd like to hear them do more psychedelic material, but speaking to keyboardist and Sitar maestro Simon Rigot after the show, they want to keep their music varied. But hey, a heady cocktail of rock and mind expanding melodies is OK by me. I'd also like to hear more Sitar, but as Simon also plays keyboards that would be a tad
