Visited Shrewsbury's independent Left for Dead record and book shop yesterday. Picked up the new big thief but wa sintrigued by the music playing - turns out it was by Khun Narin Electric Phin Band - yes, you guessed it, Thai pysch-funk. Purchasd on impulse and it's ace - perfect Green Man music. Bring 'em on over!

Incidentally, we're hoping to move to Shropshire sometime soon - any other Salopians here except Elizabeth?

i dream of living in bishops castle

Or clun, when I'm feeling adventurous

(there's a song in this....)

and belle vue in shrewsbury looks like a good spot

if you make the move, good on yer. Hopefully I'll be there in the not too distant....

 

 

Bishops Castle is a lovely spotIf it all comes together we're planning to move to a village on the Shrewsbury-Montgomery road not far from Welshpool on the english side of the border.

Lovin the new Waxahatchee album. 

They were great in the Far Out a couple of years ago so I hope Walter hasn't deleted their number from his doggy-phone.
