A quiet day pottering around at home and going to pick up some single master bags that one of the dealers had put by for me.
Bought two singles on Freestyle Records and the current WIRE magazine (I have not renewed my subscription for a good few months) plus the latest WAX POETICS (a bimonthly American mag devoted to soul,funk and hip hop).
GC is off on hols til next Wednesday as too the EB of Haywards Heath. (no they are not going together,god forbid!).
Sorted out more singles from the large bunch the stall holder sold me for a mere quid on Sunday Majority are detestable euro disco pap but some oddities amongst them which i might keep. Undecided as yet.
Discovered lighter fuel refiller liquid as ideal for bringing vinyl up to new, and it is cheaper than the gunge i use at the moment.
Also picked up a 12" of Salt N Pepa's "Push It" from George Ginn's shop for 50p. A superior slice of old skool hip hop.
Noticed in the Wire magazine in their OFFICE AMBIANCE listing that they have been playing Henry Flynt's "I Was A Creep", a single i have been playing on my turntable for a good few weeks now,if not more,since it was listed in Second Layer's email mailings to me.
They also have a review of the reissued and remastered White Noise "An Electric Storm" which i bought at Borderline a good month ago.
I definitely want t get Julian Cope's "Japrock Sampler" book.
Also of interest is the review of the Sergei Eisenstein tryptich of "Strike / Battleship Potemkin / October" in a review of a Tartan Video release in the ON SCREEN section of the magazine. I already have the Potemkin movie from copying it successfully to a blank DVDR some months ago from one of my LOVEFILM rentals - naughty me!!
I must get Jean Painleve's science documentaries now reissued on a BFI double DVD as my original VHS tapes of them are totally knackered. Again reviewed in my bible of music and art -related stuff THE WIRE.
