Unspun Heroes® @unspunheroes.com · 22h

Next release on Unspun Heroes looks like this. Two discs of hand-poured translucent marbled vinyl made to look like the tide washing in on a Cornish beach. Preorders are shipping from tomorrow. Officially out on Friday.

A vinyl record that is a mix of blue and green and natural sand colours, marbled when pressed. The centre label has a peach colour around the edge and a seascape scene.

Dah, The Phantom Stapler is back. It’s been awhile, I hoped he’d gone for good. It has to be a man, women aren’t that stupid He checks the Records, then staples the sleeve shut, so you know they’ve been quality checked…… the sleeve is no longer “quality”, but there you go

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a more aggressive move to DVB-T2. Appreciate there are still a lot of older TVs in use, but….. My hunch is, we’ll end up with 2 DVB-T2 Muxs. One SFN covering the whole county with ITV 2,3,4, More 4, etc The other will be local, carrying local ITV & BBC feeds etc

Osaki VHS must have been a particular short window. They came in after I left & they went bust about a year / 18 months after I left I remain convinced the two occurrences are related, naturally

At Last! Sky & SES Astra have signed a Distribution Agreement, running well into the next decade This will keep Sky HD & Q On-Air for the foreseeable future. Assuming BBC also sign up with SES, that will extend Freesat too Seems all ‘+1’s will go & channels migrate to DVB-S2, which makes sense

Still got mine & it still works. Along with Philips CD 100.

My mate won a pair of tickets to see them live at Brighton Dome, via the Local Paper** God it was shite. The music is harmless pop. On TV the costumes and dance routines looked polished. Up close, they were most definitely not We think there may only have been one entry

They didn’t do many. There were loads of NTSC ones in Japan. I pick them when are reasonably priced - which isn’t very often I’ve got VHS, Beta & one Japanese VHD VideoDisc
