Hello, I hope all is groovy. It's pretty groovy here, especially if you could see my new old 1980s skiiing jumper. And no, I am not going skiing. Not at all. Not even with David Vine, even if he were still alive.
So, first of all I must apologies for the rather haphazard mailings of the last two weeks. They have been sent out on Friday mornings, but have not appeared your end at the right time or even right day. According to clever people at The State 51 Conspiracy who understand how things like computers and that work, there was a "ghost name" on the Trunk list, that activated a robot that sent another robot that mucked up the robot that sends out the mailings. All the robots are now dead and the ghost is apparently "a thing of the past" (?). So I'm told.
Today's jolly 50p Friday offering is also a thing of the past, and is from the Truffaut film Shoot The Pianist, or to give it the right French title, Tirez Sur Le Pianiste. Great little film EP, with a theme that will plinky-plonk its way right into your mind for ages. Music is by the legend that is Georges Delerue and the piano is possibly played by Charles Aznavour. This charming little thing (and I don't mean Charles Aznavour), can be found here.
Yesterday I went to one of my fave record shops to look for records. I found some including a Terry Wogan Fight The Flab flexi disk, which will be put to good use. While I was there Paul, who runs the shop, mentioned this video to me - he said "it's got motorbikes and Mel Torme in it". So here it is.
Next weekend it's the Indie Label Market (on 25th November) at Spitalfields Market. I hope to have a new Trunk LP for sale on the day, but because of the carnage happening in the record manufacturing business the LP may not even appear. However I will have a whole heap of second hand LPs to sell plus Original Peter Record Bags at a discount. So see you then, possibly.
I am now preparing myself to interview a rock star. Yes a real rock star. I shall explain who and why in a further mailing. But I shall not be wearing my jumper otherwise he won't speak to me.
Thanks for listening.
