Do you like the feedback at the beginning of Sonic Youth's dancefloor hit "Ghost Bitch"? Of course, we all do. Well here's an album (and frankly, a band) that does nothing but that. Enjoy with a snifter of methylated spirits in the squat of your choice. mirrorworldmusic.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

Live at Zwingli-Kirche, by Feedbackorchester

New-found respect today for those French salesmen who would bring their cycles, striped shirts & berets across to S. England with strings of onions slung insouciantly around their necks. It was all I could do to lift them up onto their hooks in the orchard drying room today. Such a weight!

View of the new workshop from the other direction - paper temporarily stored up high. I’ve successfully printed the some cover images for the next issue of the Terrascopædia so it’s fair to say we’re up and running now.

The Ptolemaic Press is close to moving in to its new home - the presses are up and running, the type holdings (some wood, mainly metal) has still to be moved but we’re getting there…

Terrascope's reviews for October are up now, and there's some real gems this month incl. new ones by Teeth of the Sea and the Luck of Eden Hall. I should add that although I retain a fatherly interest, publishing rights to Terrascope are independently owned. www.terrascope.co.uk/Reviews/Revi...

Bob-dog diligently guards the bottom row of records. In order to dive in and grab the one I want to play, I have to pull a handful at a time and hope the right one is in amongst them. Returning it to its proper place is an entirely separate operation in which careful timing is absolutely vital...

Lovely day spent at the New Forest Wayzgoose today. Bought linocuts, ink, type AND scored some vintage plates and equipment from the former Curwen Press. Amazing to think this stuff could actually have been handled by Ravilious et al
