Just some shots my kid requested of him with the train rushing up in the background!

Hey that takes up less space than many other special interests at least?

Tonight's reading soundtrack 🪐

Successfully navigated the London underground all week 🫡

I'd like to think he comes here every week, like a tic

Oh absolutely. Is that what the lyric is about? I always assumed coke lol

Yeah I was surprised it looked so *shiny* and bright! Never seen it like that in photos

Love this. My local shop always gives me a "good neighbor" discount even when I haven't been in a few months. Always gets me to come back sooner next time.

Very much so! Funny enough I just reread Mona Lisa Overdrive in January (the whole Sprawl trilogy actually). We're off to Edinburgh tomorrow morning, excited to get out of the city and do more "country" things - some tours, castles, all that stuff my son is stoked for

🤌🤌🤌

Keep finding myself circling back to Wendy Eisenberg 🌬️

London eye was pretty cool, especially for a giant tourist thing. Like, what a great way to view a massive city like this. Kiddo was stoked to point out big ben!

Figured it might be useful for stripping paint

Will do, thanks!! We actually went to Moggy our first time here in 2019 and promised kiddo we'd go. Definitely hope to check out some record shops too, great recs.

That was my second thought, after "would this make me go blind?"

😂

I figured it might make me go blind, steered very clear! Picked up an old favorite in a specialty shop instead

Oh yeah, walked in and they were playing Tikiman, I knew I was at home

We're hopping on the eye!

I was so happy to pick up 3 totally new to me records

I saw a guy looking at that one in SOTU and was like c'mon.. of all the stuff here

Couldn't miss it. Went there last time and absolutely loved it

Posted! bsky.app/profile/funk...

Good to know, thanks!!

I'd love recommendations for whatever! Record shops especially. Not sure what we'll have time for - we're doing some touristy stuff with our son, castles and all that - but always happy to fit in what we can

The British have mastered the ability to get drunk for extremely cheap - 2.5 liters of cider for under £6! We did not buy it, too terrifying

Today's grabs:
- 15 Years of Butter Sessions by Sleep D, Kuniyuki, Gonno, Yuzo Iwata, etc. totally mind melting stuff, I sampled & instantly had to buy all 3 LPs at Phonica
- 2 alltimer dub albums from SOTU
- Drexciya's Harnessed the Storm reissue from Sister Ray

I love the fact that Phonica, Sister Ray, Sounds of the Universe, and more record shops are all within a 5 minute walk in London. Grabbed some killer LPs at all 3 today 🤌

Stopped at phonica records first.. I'm in love

Finally going record shopping in London today.
