Quick spot of record shopping + generally being super hot

This is the very first of a whole new world. Joint posting. That means there are two people posting instead of just the measly one. The other person is a hobo eating a jacket potato, but you know I take what I can get. Me and hobo went record shopping today. Yeah. I say we but I mean I went record shopping and hobo stood there and warmed her hands against the insulating capacities of warm vinyl.

Oh yes, I perhaps forgot to mention that I'm no longer in the summery joyous land of Finland. Nay. The bright sunny shores of Brighton have once again beckoned and I, the T-Bone has answered.

Look, this is me and Ms. Jacket Potato drinking hot beverages. I think you'll find we are every bit as hot as the drinks stuck in our faces. We are like lava, baby.

I managed to find Fixers' "Here Comes 2001 So Let's All Head For The Sun" Ep which I've wanted to get my hands on for what feels like an eternity. All in fancy 10" form too. Who even does 10s anymore? 

Who even buys 10s anymore?

That would be me. Because I'm fucking awesome.

Got it mainly for one song: "Crystals". I'm sure the rest of it's super too, but I just haven't been able to find it/listen to it anywhere.

I'm a bit low on the old cash front at the moment so I had to borrow a bit of money off the hobo so I could squeeze in a reduced price 7" single of Teeth's "See Spaces". Yeah, that's right. I had to borrow 40p. But can you really put a price on happiness? No regrets though because See Spaces is so fucking tight it would make Russell Brand's jeans look like Mark Wahlberg's flares in Boogie Nights.

Looks like the other person's only contribution to this post was a brief cameo in a shit webcam photo. Oh well. At least you've got me. Right?

This was just a quick bit of shopping, because there's a wedding I'm attending and as Alfred Doolittle once sang: "Get me to the church on time" but I ain't leaving here until I've got more.

Cymbals - Summer Escaping (video)

Is it just me or are music videos a bit of a dying trend? An already dead trend? Not having a tv doesn't really affect the fact that I very VERY rarely see any music videos, because it's not as if MTV shows music videos any more.
I think it's more to do with the fact that my internet connection won't, due to speed disagreements, load a 3 minute video in less than 3 hours. (Yes, 3 hours is too much).
So usually when I want to check out a new video, I'll come somewhere where the connection's slightly more reasonable. Like university.
There's just one slight problem with the computers at uni. They've got no sound/audio compatability at all. Not even for headphones.

(Hell, maybe they even do, but I'm just useless at all this modern stuff, like summoning sound from motherboards.)

So I'll sit there ready to watch the video, and play the song off my mp3 player, trying and hoping to press both play buttons at the same time. Synchronisation is the key. A key that sometimes doesn't actually have to fit.

Right, now that I've got that off my chest, I can get on to Cymbals' new video for their song Summer Escaping, off their soon-to-be-released album Unlearn. It's directed by Ollie Evans who's worked with Klaxons and Late of the Pier, so we're in good company now.
I'm not sure if I "get" the video. But you can always give it a go.



I'm not sure if I "got" the partner video for it either. It's for Teeth's See Spaces. And there's kind of a similar theme going on.
