Hello, I hope all is groovy, It's pretty groovy here but I have a burgeoning Parakeet problem in the garden, so if you have any hints about how to scare them off that would be most helpful.
Today as you may or may not know is Black Friday. I have no special offers, no nothing, just a 50p Friday that happens to be a rare TV film EP from Sweden. It's called Stöten, and bits of me want to think this might be the surname of the man in it, or it might translate as "Stolen". but I really have no idea, Musically it sounds like classic Billy Taylor (think Film 76 with Barry Norman). Stöten, the 50p Friday offering is here.
Next week I am starting on various Christmas things, which are still on going and in production. There are currently three Trunk LPs being made at the moment but as we all now know, vinyl factories are so overwhelmed that manufacturing for many has slowed to a snail's pace (14 weeks in some cases), and as a result it looks like I will have no brand new release for The Indy Label Market tomorrrow at Spitalfields. I will however have my Original Peter Bags (inclduing the amazing Record Rucksack) at good discount and about 7 large boxes of LPs culled from my collection. Highlights include various train LPs, some Morricone, some library and some funny jazz. Come and say hello.
Here is a video by the goth vlogger Back Friday. She goes shopping in Primark to be normal. Last year I also linked to Black Friday like this and this. So how about this for 2017 from Brazil. And this is how they do it in Japan, which is dead cool.
News of this year's Dirty Fan Male next week too. It's on 18th Dec.
And I'm now off for a fight at the local Black Friday Halfords.
Thanks for listening
