Hello, I hope all is groovy. Things are fine here, although we have run out of milk and my muesli is no fun at all when it's dry.
So, best if I get on with today's #50pFriday album. Based on the fact that one of my two children was really naughty last night, I thought we'd carry on the naughty vibe and have a laugh with Charlie Drake. A pint sized comedy actor and singer, he made millions and died practically penniless (according to online sources). The album I have is basically both his great little EPs together. It's called Naughty, and "Naughty" is indeed a great track. One day this will find its way onto an advert. Well that's what I think. The Charlie Drake album can be found here.
Thanks to the various folk who turned up at Spiritland on Tuesday. Playing records to listeners through £300K speakers (I thought they were £30K ones, but it's an easy mistake to make) is quite an experience. If you are passing Kings Cross go and have a look - it's really quite something. And the amplification system was made by two Italian playboys who wanted to make the perfect amp for their very precious ears, apparently.
This week I took delivery of the all new Original Peter Record Rucksacks. Now available in navy Blue, Khaki, a killer camouflage and all new Olive Green, these were supposed to be here ages and ages ago because I sold the first "experimental" run and ordered some more in different colourways, but there has been a big delay because of some strange argy bargy between leather workers. Anyway, they have resolved their differences and the bags are back. They can be seen here. The dude from Be With Records has already bought one.
As far as funny films are concerned, this was sent to me by a good chum yesterday morning and I wet myself. I then proceeded to tell all the antique dealers at Spits about it. Please note, it is quite rude.
I have also spent the last few days playing with the new fiver and showing this trick too all sorts. Mrs Trunk could not quite believe it when I played some Shirley Bassey (produced by Johnny Harris of course) through a new note. I'm waiting for someone to post up playing 50 cent through the new fiver, but no one has done it yet.
I'm now off to Bristol and Bath. There are two jokes I could now write but I shall rise above them both.
Thanks for listening
Jonny
