A sheath for my frankly terrifying new kitchen knife.

Read 'A sheath...' and thought you'd gone Accidental-Partridge on us.

Pink Floyd- The Wall
Zero 7 - Simple Things
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders

I've been buying vinyl for a bit over a year now, it's an expensive hobby but i love it, nearing 80 records now. I need more!

I dread to think what I've spent on records and hi-fi equipment over the years. Discogs tells me the average value of my collection is £45,000 and that's not with everything catalogued. Hobbies are financial black holes.

Still, all good fun and music has never sounded better... which in itself a nightmare as you hear things elsewhere and sometimes cannot stand how shit it sounds.

Help.

Ha ha! One is to protect against injury and accident from a dangerous weapon, and the other...

Touché sir. Bravo.

Some light reading for over the winter -

Post Capitalist Desire - Mark Fisher, The Final Lectures
Cruel Britannia - A Secret History of Torture by Ian Cobain
The History Thieves - Secrets, Lies and the Shaping of a Modern Nation by Ian Cobain
Culture and Society by Raymond Williams
Utopia or Oblivion : The Prospects for Humanity by R. Buckminster Fuller
Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth by R. Buckminster Fuller
GB84 by David Peace

Mark Fisher was a great writer. I just picked up Capitalist Realism the other day and damn if it doesn't resonate with me.

Capitalist Realism just perfectly articulated stuff I was thinking about around that time. Ghosts of my Life did as well, it's really worth checking out.
Such a loss, I'd loved to have heard him develop his Acid Communism stuff about the future for the political Left (unfortunately it's looking like his optimism about a Left resurgence was misplaced, but we'll see I guess) and his thoughts about the last few years.

I just bought Jon Hopkins' Immunity, and I'm waiting on a discogs order for Burial's Rival Dealer. In fact, it's taking an awful long time to arrive, but the seller has 100% rating, so I'm still hopeful...

[Mexicola]

Because who wouldn't want to play around with an old school 70s-style BigMuff Pi of an evening?

[Sherbet Head]

^ nice!

I got one a few years back. Mine's a little different; bulky silver fucker, not sure what the difference is. Lovely sound on it though!

[Mexicola]

Sounds like you have either an original or Ram's Head? Both are meant to be lovely. This one here is the tone wicker version. The wicker adds a bit more top end if you want it while bypassing the Tone control gives you proper lo-fi muff goodness. Just took mine for a spin and oh me oh my, it's bliss. Soundgarden tones made effortless. An utter beast. Love it.

[PerniciousKnid]

This has been a really interesting read! It also came with these flimsy transparent vinyl records that still sound good 40+ years later.

Oh lord - I just signed up a few weeks ago to look for something* in particular, just idly browsing.... and now I get a notification whenever a copy becomes available and my fingers twitch despite not currently having a record player set up.

I bought myself a new book yesterday.

I recently bought myself a calibration cassette and spare parts for my Technics deck, exciting stuff really, stuff that keeps you awake at night

That Death In Vegas remix is not the same as the YouTube link. Their second remix “Dub Together” is a mashup of Prince Jammy v King Tubby & Spiritualized released a few years later on their label Drone. Coincidentally the links posted are from an old YouTube channel of mine ;)
