Buying an LP in a chazza shop this week, the young assistant asked, "Do you have a machine that plays these things?" "A turntable. Come on, you must remember listening to music before streaming!" "Erm, Dad had an iPod (?) when I was little." I turn 60 tomorrow. 😶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0zs...

Watching Hellraiser this morning with my Arrow Video trial. Never realised before that this movie was made in the UK despite being set in the US. The blink and you'll miss it inclusion of a British Rail Intercity 125 kind of gave it away.

I have an Arrow Video trial for 7 days, so decided to stick on Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain for a laugh. I predict I'm going to get no more than 10 minutes into this, but there's instant bad vibes from the opening credits.

In today's post... A new album from Swell Maps? OK, let's hear it!

The last execution by guillotine occurred the day before Star Wars premiered in France.

yet another great example of the influence of vorticism / BLAST / Wyndham Lewis on Fall-related graphic design #FallFriday

A new to me cassette of Hip Priest and Kamerads. Love the text soup dominating the compact artwork. Discogs says this is the only release with And This Day at the correct pitch, playing to 15m55s. On CD editions it runs a semitone fast (15m20s) to fit to CD capacity. youtu.be/sNP2fAIJ8E4 #FallFriday

Remembering Mark E. Smith on his birthday. Here are The Fall performing Big New Prinz live on Tony Wilson's The Other Side of Midnight in 1988

How I spent this sunny Saturday afternoon. I'm now proficient in clearing Renault Scenic scuttle drains which were packed with mulch. I'll declare this a victory if the footwells stop filling with water now.

I watched M3GAN (2022) on Film4 last week. Was not expecting this movie to lead me to purchasing a Basil Kirchin record off Discogs, but here we are. Amazing funk/disco track from 1979, released by Trunk Records in 2017. Love the Pages from Ceefax sleeve 😎 youtu.be/oDU6P01yvnU

Expanded my Yello cassette collection with this release of The Eye (2003) from Ukraine. The Discogs Police have taken a keen interest.

A couple more period-accurate cassette acquisitions

UGH these are beautiful

And technically the song is called 'Bingo-Master', not 'Bingo Masters Breakout' which is the EP title. YouTube uploaders are forever getting that wrong. ☺️
