Slither…

Aha! Thanks Matt. Wow. So much more planning than I’d thought.

👍👍👍👍

How do you get the lines to be so straight? Genuine question. I always thought I’d be a bit wonky when doing it.

Happy Birthday sir!

That’s what we like to see. Great work David! I only know the Drexciya one.

Nice, will read it in a second!

Post you, in another country.

“Are you the branch manager?”
“Yes I am, how can I help you?”
“I would like two branches, please.”
“How would you like that?”

I imagine jazz cats in the 60s hanging around Soho a Cafe de Paris listening to it. There’s a line about ‘offering a light’ which I think of all the time.

I live not too far away in Teddington. Surbiton always reminds me of the 70s and 80s. Every so often we have to drive through there or will pop by George and Mildred’s house in Teddington.

Great

When I tell girls I'm in a band: sexy. When they realise it's a brass band: less so apparently.

Too true Stephen. Didn’t see Greggary’s post. What a good post!

Absolute banger… always associate it with Phil Asher. He put it on JITH 10. The copy I have is from Chez Music with that massive yellow sticker on with the cool kids on it. Great record Stephen.

Nice work! Well done. That was all the rage with the HMV employees when it came out. Great fun.

Looking great Matt… did you do that thing where you hold the PSB cover diagonally from your vision to get a John Major like picture?

Happy Birthday! Have a great day!

Nice! I do like Piccadilly Records. Good shop that!
Did you pop into the Record Exchange opposite? Or the Oxfam down the street is pretty good too.

That sounds like a good idea. Little and often is definitely achievable for me (a the dog).
Well done on exceeding 100 miles in the week through too. That’s good pedal work!

Ha ha… but maybe the needle is a thrillseeker?

I can vouch for him being a nice guy too. Met him in 1997 at the Blue Note. Very talented DJ and selector but also humble.

Lovely stuff Al. I’m going to start doing some cycles after work now on week days (might try and take the dog too). You’ve inspired me to get on it. 👍

Too true Matt. A great listen on a Sunday morning.

Exactly!! And DST on the scratching I think… he was a name I remembered from the Electro tapes of old.
Shame about the YMO. Maybe the Herbie was a gift because of it?!
