Hey Kids Rock'n'Roll @heykidsshop.bsky.social · Aug 18
A quick update on heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com
(TL:DR - I'm suspending US shipping for a bit, otherwise same old same old really)
Hey kids! Quick shop update, you might be aware that there are some changes happening with shipping items to the USA. I’ll be honest, I’m not entirely sure what the result of that will be or how long it will be in place but, for the time being at least, it does look like there will be some disruption. To be on the safe side I won’t be posting out to the US for a little while, then we’ll see how things stand further down the line. What with this and the general state of the world and the creative industries it’s…well an interesting time! I think I’ll try and do some dIfferent things with the shop and with the work I do under the Hey Kids Rock’n’Roll banner. Commissions, collaborations, different types of product, one-offs…Lots of ideas bubbling! Do get in touch if you have any ideas or would like something made. This year is, incredibly, the 10th anniversary of Hey Kids Rock’n’Roll, it’s been really good fun and the one thing I AM certain of is that it will continue to be! Thank you to everyone who has supported the shop and my daft ideas! Keep an eye out for more soon!

"Bond was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, Moneypenny, Q, and the chief mourner. M signed it. And M’s name was good upon ‘Change for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Bond was as dead as a doornail

Another pencil crayon study. This was quite tricky and it’s not really finished, but I’m really enjoying using real pencils.
A pencil crayon drawing of a rocky path through some small trees with white trunks. It’s Autumn in the Scottish Highlands and the ferns at the sides of the path are orangy brown, and the trees have already lost their leaves.

This cleverly repositions all the other Hey Kids Rock ‘n’Roll mobile decorations - Joni Mitchell, Quentin Crisp, Sade, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, even Nick and Nora… - as the guest star killer Columbo has to pin down.

NEW! Columbo Decorations! Celebrating perhaps the greatest tv detective. They can be sent as cards and hung as decorations, the versatility is astounding!
Just one more thing...head on over to heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com for these and LOADS of other quality merchandise.
You know, my wife - she's a big fan of gifting her friends and family pop-culture related items, especially at Christmas. Me? Not so much but oh you should see her. She loves this one shop, 'Hey There Rocking Kids' or something it's called...'Hey Kids Rock'n'Roll' that's it! That's the one. Oh yeah, she swears by it. Just one more thing...this Columbo Decoration can be sent as a greetings card and it comes with an envelope, real good quality stuff. You can send it to a friend and then they can hang it on a tree or whatever. Oh and, sir? There's just one thing I'm not sure of... It says here it measures about 14cm high. Now I don't know about centimetres but I'd guess that's about five and a half inches, wouldn't you say?

Thanks to The Ringer for republishing my 2022 piece on 'Nebraska' amidst the excitement surrounding 'Deliver Me From Nowhere'. It's one I'm very proud of- both a celebration of a transcendent album and a melancholy reckoning with the broken American labor movement. www.theringer.com/2022/12/14/m...

So cool! Prince *loved* libraries. For example, this is one donation he made from his charity a few days after 9/11 to save the Louisville Free Public Library, the first library in the community to serve African Americans.

Tonight!

Arrived ahead of The Felt Tips gig with The Understudies in support tonight.
The Betsy Trotwood pub on Farringdon Road , London, which is playing host to a gig by The Felt Tips, one of Scotland’s excellent indie pop bands (if not *the* best). They’re here to celebrate the release of their debut album from 2010 on vinyl for the first time. Support from The Understudies, and a DJ set by Pete Paphides. Don’t have FOMO, come down!

They’re running Under Milk Wood as originally broadcast, for the first time, this weekend on R4 Extra. Obviously, it’s brilliant. And I highly recommend a listen. It still sounds amazing; truly timeless. The most dated bit is the credits - but, oh, those character names.
