I ken a shallow bay
Pinned
A classic of the genre.
I put three items in my basket, realised I don't need Goat tarot cards, or an Art Brut box set, or a live Throwing Muses album (only because I rarely play the one I have), and have myself a little pat on the back for being good for once.
A sale so big we had to split it into 2 collections for you.

It's The Big One.

Black Friday's here*

For no reason at all, a series of Soviet-era Depeche Mode cassettes, on the Melodya label.

Happy new Ivan Moult album day to those who celebrate. I forgot that @bubblewrapcollective.co.uk also send you a freebie, so another Georgia Ruth added to the collection is very welcome too.

All films should be like this. So far up my street that I've popped round to borrow a cup of sugar from it.
Signed up for another four free months of Mubi, so I'm watching a Wim Wenders film about a guy who cleans public toilets in Tokyo. As you do.

big ol article about me in GQ, if you go in for that sort of thing www.gq.com/story/john-d...
The Story John Darnielle Lived to Tell
When he was a teenager, the Mountain Goats founder never expected to live to 21. He has since become one of this century’s best songwriters. The lessons of his survival, life, and work feel endless.

I would welcome some recommendations from the world of dub. I’ve started marching down the rabbit hole, but always keen to head in a little deeper.

I do post a lot of #NowPlaying️, so there should be plenty of pointers for my @vinylsanta.bsky.social, but I might get The Boy to do this again. #vinylsanta
As suggested by @vinylsanta.bsky.social, I thought I'd post even more records than usual, so I told The Boy that he couldn't have any pudding unless he pulled a random record off each of my shelves. After 10 he said "screw you, do it yourself" - my fault for caving in on the pudding deal #vinylsanta

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.
