They are two hares - I did have them in the shop as well but, full disclosure, they weren't big sellers.

Super excited for a NEW record (& more!) shop in Carshalton - which is getting to be quite a happening place. Danny's got some great plans (& I've done some promotional material and signage for it which you'll see more of soon). It's going to be amazing!

Excited to say that we’re moving to our very own premises! We’ll be opening our new shop in Carshalton at midday on Sat November 1st. We’ve had such a special time at the Sound Lounge & we now have the opportunity to move to a bigger space which means we’ll have more racks & loads more cool stuff! 🚀

Contents are as perfectly delightful as you’d imagine. Jill McDonald somehow managing to bring a colourful quality even to her monochromatic illustrations.
Very, very tempted to get a tattoo of that spectacularly sublime sickly cat

Page from a 1970s puffin post magazine, gorgeous cartoon pictures in black and white illustrate short texts about how to make a puppet theatre from a matchbox and instructions on creating a snake shaped draught excluder with a sickly looking cross eyed cat with a speech bubble reading yurck in capital letters, illustrating a short item on creating a recipe for deliberately disgusting food. The style of the illustration is a joyful junior psychedelia

I've heard some horror stories. Hopefully good sense will prevail (although looking around the world it's tough to be too optimistic on that front!)

Yeah, unfortunately it is the tariffs thing. I'm looking for ways to open up again (and I have a test case in transit to a pal in the US) but it's a messy situation.

I need to do another video including the plague doctor but I did attempt to channel Joffy a while back...

A last bump for this little dude (for anyone who had other things to do at the weekend)

My Little PLAGUE DOCTOR!
It's Octoberrific fun!

A paper model of a plague doctor. He is dressed in black with a long-nosed white mask and a white satin ribbon on the end of a cocktail stick cane

The same model but on a red background with some atmospheric fairy lights

The economics of self-releasing music as physical media, a thread.
My first self-released CD is SEA OTTERS by The Bionics, an album of Not-Quite-Techno made in a very analogue way, and on our Bandcamp page along with 17 back catalogue treats.

My little drawings of what I listened to this week.

Most enjoyable to draw: Dream Attic by Richard Thompson, and Outside Closer by Hood.

Most difficult: Touching the Propeller by Dawn of the Replicants.

I loved listening to all of these except two…
