Deedrees Rekkid

…celebrated the release of Dee’s new album, “She Shanties For Frank”, a week back…

…wicked gig in a great room (let’s do that again)…didn’t get many (if any) good picks from the back (and under the influence)….but maybe if you know this guy…

…he recorded quite a bit of the gig and took loads of photos….

…anyways….

…hit the address above go to the “music” section and there’s a couple of tunes to listen to….and if you click on the “She Shanties For Frank” image it will take you to band camp where you can download the album…..

….also available on cassette locally….

…and in these covers with a lyric booklet…(cover image and screen printing by Chris…booklet hand drawn/water colour washed by Dee….foldingstaplinggluingtrimming by me…)

…when we receive the round black plastic inserts…huge props to Holiday Records…bringing vinyl production back to NZ for the first time since last century…

….bring the noise.

Oh Thats Right

…this is a record shop…

…here is a record…

 

…William Clauson is a Viking…

 

…and speaking as someone of Viking extraction (3 – 500 yrs of inbreeding on both sides of the family) I hope he went and decapitated the “artist” responsible for the illustrations in either corner…

 

…there is nothing at all “Viking” about waving an old hanky around in a manner that can only attract the most unwanted of attention especially if your wearing bells on your calves…

 

…NOTHING.

 

…(still stalling).

No Post On Sunday But I Have An Excuse

…first time I’ve missed posting since I started this blog….

…but this collection took me way longer to price out than I was expecting (2hrs longer!)…

…6 plastic cubes chock full of amazing stuff…three Dole banana boxes of ok stuff…and three more banana boxes that went straight to Restore (Hi Sarah!)…(Restore is our local Habitats For Humanity charity shop, support it please)…

…many thanks to my good friend Dee who had to rearrange her band practice (that’s kinda like re-herding cats after they’ve stampeded) because I wasn’t watching the time and don’t have a cellular device…

….I broke the “no-shop-on-your-day-off” rule as well, just to try and clear the floor…

…and I’m still processing it on Tuesday…

…nearly 1000 lps and associated  7″s…blues, country, folk…early NZ stuff….gems!!!

…so much good stuff I could poop…

…but don’t have time!

 

(teaser alert)

 

…never seen this one before…

…(radio play comedy thing I think)…

 

…must be old, because I’m pretty sure you can’t eat Kiwis anymore…(well, not in a restaurant anyway)….

…will start cleaning & pricing in a couple of weeks….

…once I’ve regained my blogging equilibrium.

NZ Musicians In Wigs Again

…country/folk troubadours…

…they always make it “beard”….

…APRA award recipient Mutt Lungley and former record shop guy Adam McGrath (currently heading East) should know better than to come into Too Tone in a post-gig disheveled state…

…no doubt they will be less malleable on there next visit.
