Hey Kids Rock'n'Roll @heykidsshop.bsky.social · Aug 18

A quick update on heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com
(TL:DR - I'm suspending US shipping for a bit, otherwise same old same old really)

Hey kids!
Quick shop update, you might be aware that there are some changes happening with shipping items to the USA. I’ll be honest, I’m not entirely sure what the result of that will be or how long it will be in place but, for the time being at least, it does look like there will be some disruption. To be on the safe side I won’t be posting out to the US for a little while, then we’ll see how things stand further down the line.
What with this and the general state of the world and the creative industries it’s…well an interesting time! I think I’ll try and do some dIfferent things with the shop and with the work I do under the Hey Kids Rock’n’Roll banner. Commissions, collaborations, different types of product, one-offs…Lots of ideas bubbling! Do get in touch if you have any ideas or would like something made.
This year is, incredibly, the 10th anniversary of Hey Kids Rock’n’Roll, it’s been really good fun and the one thing I AM certain of is that it will continue to be!
Thank you to everyone who has supported the shop and my daft ideas! Keep an eye out for more soon!
Sean

A really quite bleak lack of confidence in their own...selves.

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

The lads are back on tour. Kraftwerk cards available at www.etsy.com/shop/8bitnorthxstitch I’d love to stitch this up (or a little set of an era) if anyone’s interested in commissioning me? I’m more reasonable than you might think…

I had that. I remember really wanting them to be 'my band'. I'd concede it's quite poor music but I also feel a bit sorry for them now that I'm older 'cos they were very young and it must've all been...weird.

The photography in this article really feels like The Times are deliberately setting these people up for ridicule. (You can read it without visiting The Times here archive.ph/KZZC1)

An article from The Times: "Meet the young Tories dreaming of a bright blue future". Featuring bizarre portraits of Charles Amos, Rhys Benjamin and Daniel Campbell.

Got a lot of time for Elizabeth Nelson from The Paranoid Style. And I think Springsteen can still write a great lyric.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

It's so incredible how low homicide rates are in Europe. The UK, with a population of 70 million people, had fewer than 600 murders in 2023.
