Hello, I hope all is groovy. Things could be groovy here if I hadn't fallen asleep on the lumpy sofa and I now have a grotty back.

Thanks again for a further week of Bedazzled, which has included compliments, some bending in the post and even a wet one that survived. I have a meeting next week to see if I can repress the LP (without all the extras) as there is obviously a demand. 

I notice on my trips around town this week that the Florence Foster Jenkins movie is here, so I thought I'd re-up her classic recordings to the 50p Section, And for todays #50pFriday I was planning on a Peter Cook / Kenneth Williams thing but somehow my data has been accidentally mixed up (by me of course) and all the songs are with the wrong album title and artwork and we can't be having that. So, instead we have The Swinging Eye. This is a classic Sy Zentner LP which became the pin up for exotica and twisted easy recordings in the early 1990s simply because it sounds great but also has one of the best sleeves of all time. It also sounds superb in the sun, and apparenelty we are having a heap of that this weekend. The Swinging Eye can be found here.

Last night (before I fell asleep on the lumpy sofa) I was wondering what to send out as today's film link. Then an email popped into the Trunk inbox - from Lee (thanks Lee, you mailing list legend), suggesting that it was a short film played a few times on British kids TV in the 70s and 80s. and indeed as soon as it started to move out I remembered it. A brilliant and engagingly simply piece of work from the wondrous National Film Board Of Canada archive. Cosmic Zoom can be seen here. 

My job today is to prepare for my birthday party. In Bethnal Green tonight. There will be a tee shirt machine at the party. And other things too, but I have to sort the Tee shirt machine today. It includes the iron on press thing and odd glittery iron on patches and designs from the mid 1970s, like all this classy crap right here.

Thanks for listening

Jonny

Nearly forgot. Here is a short contemporary BBC thing about Douglas Wood and his library theme for the snooker. It's a wildly popular film, clocking up 110 views on YouTube so far.
