All-round good records guy Dillon from Noble Records has a new series of interesting interviews with serious LA record collectors on his YT channel. This is the first of three he's released so far, with more to come every week until the end of the year I think.

Meanwhile over on FB, Cocteau Twins fans are arguing about "Blue Bell Knoll".

It escalates quickly.

I’ve seen several Godzilla flicks in the theater over the past few years and you can feel, viscerally, that we are all praying for Godzilla to rise from the sea and give us what we deserve

Blog update: In February 1986, Andrew Eldritch reached the indie number one spot with a record put out to prohibit Wayne Hussey from using a Sisters of Mercy related band name. Effectively a legal block on 45, it's as dull as reading dense legislation, but the drama behind it; that's another story.

this was a special request that we're adding to the public side of the shop as well.

our first wall art release that is so entirely color focused.

request was made for either metal or acrylic to make it pop more, but we're enabling paper prints as well.

The more I look at this, the more it looks like a CDr with a sticker on like you used to get from the dodgy guy down the market. #ReggaeSky
This #StoneColdClassic just turned up, CD reissue from their Bandcamp, which is still available on there for £15, but some chancer is already taking the piss on the 'cogs.

The first time I haven't bought a new Mountain Goats album on release day since probably Heretic Pride in 2008. First listen of the day will be to stream it to see whether I'm missing out.

I will NEVER tire of these erratic Argentine translations of classic albums.

This is Phil Collins' world-eating "No Need To Carry A Bag".
