COLIN NEWMAN
A-Z
1980 Canada pressing
The first Colin Newman solo album that was meant to be the next Wire album.
That is… until EMI decided to get fucky.
It’s a wonderfully weird record. There’s definitely some none-Wire sounding moments on it, but ultimately, it doesn’t stray too far from that band’s awesomeness. It’s every bit as great as those first three records, and to this day, it’s far and away the best solo work.
“& Jury” is awesome, and “Alone” was actually used in The Silence Of The Lambs.

DAVID BYRNE WITH GHOST TRAIN ORCHESTRA
Who Is The Sky?
2025 Worldwide pressing
Apple Green vinyl
This was my album of the year for 2025.
Few NEW albums have given me as much listening pleasure as Who Is The Sky?
At their heart, these songs are quite simple. Incredibly bright, playful, and brimming with personality. The MVP award here goes to producer Kid Harpoon and NYC’s incredible Ghost Train Orchestra. Their work really brought these great songs to life.
There are two gems here in particular that I could listen to forever: "I Met the Buddha at a Downtown Party" (which is wickedly funny), and “The Avant Garde”, which may be one of my favorite Byrne songs EVER.
The album clocks in at a very tight and compact 37 minutes. As soon as it’s over, I just want to start it over again.
GREAT album, and one of Byrne’s best solo efforts.
Absolutely love it.

MR. WRONG
Mr. Wrong Fights The System
1993 Canada 7” single
Fans of the legendary Canadian punk band Nomeansno will recognize this gem!
Mr. Wrong is Nomeansno bassist and singer Rob Wright.
On this single, these two songs are just Wright’s bass and voice, and nothing else.
This version of “State Of Grace” is fucking killer!!! It’s a song that Nomeansno would go on to perform on their 1995 album The Worldhood Of The World (As Such). I much prefer THIS version. It’s just absolutely savage.
The flip side is Wright’s take on the classic Skeeter Davis song “The End Of The World”.
Apparently, this single never had distribution in any record stores. It was solely released independently by the band.
A fucking fantastic single.

THE SLITS
The Peel Sessions 1977-1978-1981
2025 Unofficial Bootleg Compilation
Today was a long-ass day.
Time to relax with some savagery.
Really great sounding unofficial press of the 9 songs from three different Peel Session appearances by The Slits.
The first four songs from their initial appearance in September of 1977 are particularly awesome.
I’m always hesitant to pick up these “Radio Broadcast” boots, but almost all of the ones from this label that I’ve bought have sounded pretty friggin great. This one is no exception.

ICE and CBP face-scanned 100,000 people last year. So EFF is proud to support Senator Markey’s “ICE Out of My Face Act,” which will stop these agencies’ biometric surveillance. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/02/yes-ice-out-my-face-act
A Kraftwerk tribute that someone did on their Amiga using Brilliance 2. I'll have to check out that program!

Crocheted with polyester sewing thread using a vintage doily pattern, with three strands of thread per row to achieve graduating colours. It measures about 36.5cm.
REDUCED to £50, postage is £3 UK, £5 Europe, £8 elsewhere. DM me to buy!
You can use this as decoration on a table-top or shelf, or some people I've sold these to have actually framed them and hung them on the wall :)

Wow, if you are a fan of watches--and you want to win the geek of the year award--get yourself an Arithmo Slide Rule watch by Juvenia. I just saw one appraised on Antiques Roadshow, and it was not in very good condition, for $7000-8000! I've never worn a watch, but if I had one of these, I just might wear it! So cool!
