jazzy_daveIt has been an incredible few days selling items on the Discogs website. Eleven items to a guy in Glasgow and another 10 to somebody else plus six more to another person. This has made me feel quite elated and i hope that it will continue at this level but there is a two day postal strike coming this Thursday which may dampen things.
Yesterday i picked up my records from the H place. Didn't realize i had so many records there , about four boxes.Had to get a taxi to do the short journey back to my place as it would have been quite impossible to try to walk home with them. I shall sort them out later into two piles,one pile for keeping and the other for selling.Sorting out records to play this Friday as well.
Sunday GC and I went to Cup for a lunchtime snack. We had two pizettes and an expresso coffee.It was her turn to do the mystery shop as i did it last month.The service was very slow and the guy who served us made a large blunder dealing with GC's debit card. It took awhile fro him to charge the correct money. At least the food was delicious.
BBC 4 has had some fascinating documentaries of late. The three part ELECTRIC DREAMS going through the technologies of the last three decades was riveting.It was revealing to look back to see how little technology there was in the 70's and that we only had three TV channels. I remember the old radiogram i use to play my first singles on way back in 1970.
The other documentary is the one on SYNTHPOP BRITANNIA. This was a history of the Moog and other synthesizers in British pop music. I had forgotten how much synthpop there was in the early eighties.I once owned The Human League's "Dare" LP. Favorite moments in that documentary was seeing Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle, both more experimental than pop orientated.
Today seeing a film at the Odeon and tomorrow seeing a film at Cineworld down at the Marina.Reports later.
