Record Shops

It was record shop day recently, although I wasn't able to get to any, unfortunately. It does always remind me of the many hours I spent browsing in independant record shops around the UK though: Picadilly Records and Eastern Block in Manchester, Record Collector and Warp in Sheffield, Selectadisc in Nottingham, Track Records in York and others when I visited other cities. For a while I even had a kind of collection of plastic carrier bags from all the different record shops I'd been too - sad I know! These days I still like to browse record shops, but they are few and far between, Clarity here in Adelaide being the main one and I neither get there often enough, nor spend enough money there. Anyway, one of the UK record shops I still by from online (due to not much vinyl being available here in Australia) is Action Records in Preson. They recently released a short documentary about their history and here it is:

Introduction

So. Rather than leave everything to Facebook and all the anoyances that entails I have ditched my account and turned my old site into a blog. There are some rather old overviews of my past work, a few random pages on my interests and, by default, whatever random stuff I've felt like posting.
