After several requests John and Euan have kindly offered to open at 9am tomorrow. For those Chappell Roan fans who like Sofia are not keen to get out of bed too early don't worry we have a lot of the Black Friday Chappell Roan single.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Good first day in the new shop. As busy as a very busy day in the old shop which is what we hoped for. Lots of people happy it just looked like the old shop only bigger! Staff happy to have so much room behind the counter.

Definitely dodged a bullet today with the shop emptied only 24 hours ago we came in today to find our old shop flooded with the post office the same. Two more small lakes out of view.

Still lots to do but new shop opens tomorrow. Plenty of vinyl.

New Order released Movement on this day in 1981. Peter Saville's beautiful cover was based on Fortunato Depero's Futurismo design from 1932

A flood today in the new shop after the heavy rain looked like we would have to delay the reopening to Monday but thanks to some sterling work from both the shopfitters and all the staff there will now only be a brief delay and we will reopen on Saturday.
We will be closed for four days from Monday while we move to our new shop opposite our old shop and will reopen on Friday 14th November. It's twice the size of the old shop meaning the sales space will increase by 50% and we will have the extra storage we need plus an office, kitchen and 3 toilets!

Time will tell if this album will sink or swim
I was asked this week for the new album by Edinburgh band Swim School, and was fairly convinced it was not out yet as I didn’t remember seeing any pre-sell information from a distributor.
