Hello, I hope all is groovy. Pretty full on here. I have spent the week trying to get a teen to do homework and then doing my own homework which has involved making large signs for the Groovy Fayre tomorrow. I used plywood, all the rotting tester pots of paint from the basement and some weird chalk paint we found at the bottom of the coat cupboard. They came out way better than I'd planned, considering I hadn't really planned anything.
So, if you are coming along tomorrow, see you then. I will have the Do What You Love LPs (5 stars in The Times today!!!!!) with the hand signed Shrigley posters. I will also have the new Trunk release, which is a weird repress of Abstractions Of The Industrial North on a ten inch. I will also have some secondhand vinyl goodies. And baddies. Mark Moore has just given me 50 records to sell too. And over 40 dealers are coming to stall out - records, books, posters, tees, labels, all sorts. It will be madness in a good way I reckon. 11am to 11pm. Mildmay Club N16. Free entry. Good food, Bars open at midday. Music Quiz. And a very special VERY FAMOUS person (beginning with J) will be DJing in the evening. Very exciting!
If you cannot make it there are some brand new Trunk / record bag tees in ye olde shoppe - Record Hunter and OZ Records Newcastle. These give you the options to walk around with the words RECORD HUNTER emblazoned on your chest (stating the bleedin' obvious), or alternatively, some psychedelic naked women. See all tees here.
What with the petrol issues in the UK at the moment, here is an episode of The Great Egg Race when they had to make a car run without petrol.
I'm now off to the Spitalfields Record fayre. Where my head could possibly explode. After I've got soaking wet on the way.
Thanks for listeing as always.
Jonny
