I haven't promoted my Changing Landscapes zine for quite some time, so... On its second print run, this is 40 pages of a variety of North Pennines ruins across all seasons, over 10 years. *UK ONLY* I'm afraid, but it's just £10 which includes second class postage. #Photography #Abandoned

Changing Landscapes – Ruins of the North Pennines is my second zine, following on from Transporter. For those who don’t know, a zine is a mini magazine, usually focused on one subject, and it…

Gah. Rubbish news. Watched this earlier with the 12yo (he’d not seen it since he was about 7 and the nostalgia hit him hard!) and thought it might be up your street, if you’ve not seen it already. youtu.be/6DacRKDASqg

Yeah they were brilliant nights, proper dragging record boxes back thru the streets at dawn sort of stuff! Düsseldorf too, at the Unique Club. I’ve just remembered Cologne used to have its own Blue Note around that time. Somewhere I have some photos …

Have a look for the Beatpackers Instagram - I played a bunch of their hip hop parties in Köln 20 something years ago, good times all round, and DJ Cem is still putting on nights in town, so I’m he’d point you to the right spots.

Happy release day to me (and Dan)! This has been a 14-month journey of bringing this album out for its vinyl debut. Please consider checking out his music and maybe treating yourself to a copy. unspunheroes.bandcamp.com/album/of-tid... #vinyl #folk #prog #newreleasefriday

An image of a hand holding up a vinyl record sleeve with the marbled vinyl peeking out. The hand belongs to Dan Arborise. It’s his album, Of Tide & Trail, that he’s holding. The album is shown against the backdrop of rural Devon countryside.

Dan Arborise holding a vinyl record in a way that’s sure to make the purists itch because he’s grabbed it in his hand rather than held it at the edge. But who cares, it’s his music and he’s super happy to have his album on vinyl. He’s under some trees with the sun shining down on the marbled vinyl record. Dan is a white male with long dreadlocks. He’s wearing a black t-shirt with a colourful design on the front.

Makes all the Right noises on all the wrong things, which of course plays perfectly round here, so obviously she’d be on the wrong side of this. Big Kemi stan iirc, about as useful (for me at least) as Blunt was before her.

Miles Showell told me a similar story when he cut my first 12” at Metropolis in 2001. He’d just bought his own Neumann lathe, which was in the studio with panels off & inner workings on show, and had been to meet an old boy in Austria (or Germany?) to learn how to restore it before it was too late!

I will entertain £20 records in certain charity shops, usually when they’re well organised or with a semblance of, dare I say, ‘curation’, but I too would only have bought that for a quid. But if I had, I’d probably try and find 19 more for a quid to keep it company 😁

Good score! I only have a few of the Jazz Book Club Series and only one has the funky trumpet artwork, it’s definitely cooler than the stripes!

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.

What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times?
