    Smallfish Records

    not the answer to your problems, but in the same part of town as smallfish beat workin records is looking good for a new (6 mnth old?) store. it's just off brick lane, near the top. it's all second hand, and a mix of styles, maybe similar to sounds of the universe.

    Smallfish Records

    yeh it is sad. i'm working about 50m from the store at the moment, so have been spending more spare time there than normal. now i feel terrible for bringing up the subject of their steep prices a few weeks back to some guy behind the counter. it clearly hit a sore spot - after i watched him...

    How "Indie" are you feeling?

    i've been pulling out a lot old classics recently, but just to clear my head. television personalities, kittens, cabs, joy div, the fall, chrome. i'm feeling indie, but not as in emotionally burdened sap, but as in punk-as-fvck independent cdr releases of 100 indie. seems to be so much...

    Charlemagne Palestine

    it's probably a better introduction to palestine than strumming music because you get both approaches - his idiosyncratic piano style and electronic drones in one package. i was lucky to catch a performance of strumming music at the arches in glasgow last year. a little disappointing that he...

    The Boredoms

    I've given up on them since their drum-circle stage began. I was prepared to accept they'd been hanging out with a few too many psy-trance types and the crust was rubbing off on them, but having seen them twice in this mode (Royal Festival Hall 02? and Scala, London, 03?) I've just lost...

    Famous Artists who designed Record Sleeves.

    Jackson Pollock's 'White Light' appears through a hole cut in the sleeve of Ornette Coleman's 'Free Jazz' LP (Atlantic 1364) but, like the previously mentioned covers for Daydream Nation (featuring Richter's 'Two Candles') and The Faust Tapes (Riley's 'Crest'), it isn't strictly a cover design...

    bands reforming

    arthur lee's love was phenomenal at the RFH london a couple years back, but the trick of reproducing an album note for note wears thin. and jandek showed no time away can be too long if you never came out in the first place.

    can reissues

    heh.. for me, the reason why this stuff is so pivotal is not so much for the music (though of course it blew my head in time), it's more for the process of discovery. searching it out happened to be my first faltering steps at collecting. these early embarassing moments were in records records...

    Bookshops in London

    i'll second church st stoke newington. but get in quick because the rent has tripled in that area recently. the latest casualty is totem records. you may still be able to get some bargains there before it closes up for good - follow the flocks of dealers like vultures. back on topic: just...
