Keep it local with Black Key Records and Jonny Cade’s ‘Groß Vater EP’

I like it local. I always have and so when Richard Harmer Esq. let me know of his new label Black Key Records I had to sneak a peek. And I wasn’t disappointed. Right proper tunes with a groove instilled in its glorious centre, Black Key have continued to impress me with each release. Their latest by Jonny Cade is really rather special. The ‘Groß … Continue reading Keep it local with Black Key Records and Jonny Cade’s ‘Groß Vater EP’

Matilda: A Journey with Objects – reaching a final destination

It would appear my project is coming to a natural conclusion. After a tutorial and a touch of re-jigging presentation wise (mountboard discarded) I’m hitting the finish line. Matilda is entering weeks of mock-exams and time is running out as the deadline approaches, but as I reflect on the results of my photographic adventures I’m happy with the results. I didn’t get every shot in … Continue reading Matilda: A Journey with Objects – reaching a final destination

Perfect Distraction: Little Boots ‘Shake’ Atlantic Records

This is most pleasing. The plastic makes me warm, the beats make me warmer. The disco love this lass has impresses whilst the spin has me, mesmerising like circulating smalls on a rainy afternoon in the laundrette. I’ve tried to break down the elements that are getting to me but I can’t. Something about me ‘Shake’ is making me shake and I like it.

We started … Continue reading A journey with Matilda: Sewing machines, scissors and a Monkey called Blackberry

A journey with Matilda: A golden Citroen DS

Late October and I was praying for clear skies and for Matilda’s dad to unleash the Citroen DS. I got both. Just. After discussions regarding the rain and returning the car to its rightful place, Matilda and I set to work in the most comfortable car seats known to man. It wasn’t easy. The seats may have yelled comfortable but Matilda wasn’t. A quick yell … Continue reading A journey with Matilda: A golden Citroen DS

Beauty comes in small packages: Jonny Trunk and James Kendall

Gotta love the weekend papers. Today they quelled my distaste for the supermarket as they pointed me towards Jonny Trunk’s Own Label: Sainsbury’s Design Studio, 1962-1977, published by Fuel. The simplicity of design makes up for the short change in pocket that ensures you slum it with the own brand and reminded me of the joy that was the early Tesco Value Range and those … Continue reading Beauty comes in small packages: Jonny Trunk and James Kendall
