Banquet Records: Retail is detail - my thoughts on HMV
BANQUET RECORDS -
more thanstill your local record shopWell, its been a long time coming. We were talking about this for a little while. Even as long as five years ago when people were talking about how indie stores were folding left right and centre, we were very vocal to point out…
Oh wow. ‘Fives’ training from my Currys days. Having only recently read 1984, the resemblance is striking. Witness this plain female member of the junior anti-sex league harangue her husband over the technical flaws in his ‘Newspeak’ and.his devotion to the party. She’s pretty close to turning him in to the thought police by the looks of things. So much brainwashing. I wouldn’t be surprised if this comes back to me in later life and I have a weird Fives mental episode. DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER.
Hello everyone! I’ve submitted my totem piece to #getinframe and it may (i’ve been told it already has) appear on billboards around London! I can also win an ipad but I need lots of help!
Just click like! Thanksssssss!
I’ve decided that if I win I’ll give the ipad to my dad! Only got until midnight tomorrow! (GMT)
Reblog if you can! It would mean a lot!
This song sounds like Tegan’s Mew Police Club For Cutie and it makes my chest feel like it might burst open. In a good way, not like a baby Xenomorph way.
I’d like to express what I like about this:
- It begins in the middle of the song.
- The drums, generally.
- The syncopated clapping noise in the verses which sounds like a thousand fish being slapped against a massive arse in a wind tunnel.
- The ‘loud organ, no guitar’ 2nd chorus.
- The tastefully ‘Tokyo’ Mid-8 Riff.
- The fact that I’ve ordered this album and it’ll come soon.
Cat ennui.
Inspiring when a little slice of music born of multi-tracking and Youtube can attain this level of awesomeness.
A little bit of Illustration for the Gadgets.co.uk Father’s Day campaign. It’s not normally my area of expertise but I thought I’d dabble. Started with a rough little sketch, digitally inked in Illustrator and tweaked to create the various ‘types of Dad’ for the campaign. They’re just Live-painted flat colours at the moment so they still need shading and sprucing up but I think they’re looking okay so far…
This is from a documentary called “The Color of Fear”. If you want to understand how people of color feel every fucking day, then watch this video. Especially when he starts yelling.
