Morning, I hope all is groovy. It's quite groovy here but I have a slight hangover as I went out with Jim and Julian from Ghost Box last night. And there is still a shower issue here that remains annoyingly unresolved.
Today, for the 50p Friday offer I have something extremely rare: Conversations With Architects. I was drawn to the recording originally as I have a passing interest in such things but also was intrigued to hear how gods of the trade like Walter Gropius and Mies Van De Rohe actually sound like. Here they talk about what got them started and their thoughts on the future of building and that. No doubt they were all wearing black throughout the inteviews too. This unsual architecture LP can be found here for just 50p. Tell you archie chums.
There will be no like to a film this week, although apparently the link to the groovy 60s swingers was again broken last week. Instead here is a link to Trip Advisor and my local hotel. I have often had suspicions about The Rose in Stoke Newington, it has never looked that welcoming. It rates with a generous one and bit stars on Trip Advisor and some of the comments left are worth a couple of moments.
Sadly I am now no longer going to be at the great Audio Gold on RSD as my wife had booked us all on a 4 day trip to Cornwall. So I am blaming her for this, even though technically it's all my fault for not using my diary in the correct fashion. However I am still playing 5 hours of Library music on 31st March (Mothers Day) at Spiritland (1pm to 6pm) on The South Bank.
And finally yes, the Trunk RSD LP will be available via Ye Olde Trunk Shoppe after RSD. I have a limited number.
I'm now not going anywhere as I have to sort my VAT out which is something I very much don't enjoy, especially with a head that is still out in the pub. And I was late last time filing my VAT and got a 10% penatly. Nice one.
Thanks for listening
Jonny
