    being unable to have a dog since I live in a flat and I’m out working most days. one and only ambition.

    Overdid it when I got out of work this morning due to excitement/hype of putting out the new memgland cassette finally. Now I've had about 2.5hrs sleep, am hungover and 2hrs into another 11hr night shift :cat:

    can relate

    Wasnt it those russian tourists coming for ancient architecture before they decided to poison some former soviets? Perhaps they blamed them for ruining those ancient relics. I think i'm onto to something. My tinfoil cap says so, anyways.

    Your tinfoil hat is permanently turned in to the mainstream news frequency as far as I can tell bro. Full on receive and repeat mode.

    Back to brexit if you must. Anyone not actually sick to death of it now?

    I don’t get the confusion. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t marf saying that many historic monuments have been reconstructed and aren’t necessarily faithful to the originals? This is definitely the case with Stonehenge. Are you lot being obtuse or what?

    Do people in Europe realize that most of the ancient structures around them have been rebuilt? Due to bombings, Dissolution, revolts, raiding, decay. What you are seeing is not really real. About as real as any fake castle in Disney world. I have this thing for true extant structures from the ancient world, and sadly there aren't many.

    what is your point really? that the roman colosseum and the pallatine hill, the acropolis in athens, the ruins of pompeii, delphi, etc have been rebuilt? you surely mean excavated and preserved. the ruins are real, but if you believe someone made those ruins out of plaster to make them look like 2000+ year old ruins you are quite mistaken.

    or if you believe that ancient cities should still stand intact after 2000+ years of every human and natural force imaginable, you're quite delusional.

    artistic interpretations

    We must protect Stonehenge from the Eurocrats. Knowing them they'd want to put the stones in a straight line with even metric spacing or something *tuts*

    too late it was rebuilt in the 50s(?)

    @Drome - Kingdom Come ep is a proper olde DiY classic, love"Groovy Baby" like a well-cut suit. Luv n Happiness seems to have had an array of different versions & edits that have surfaced over time, you've prompted an attic crate dig tonight ;)

     

    if yer arsed, DiY's 30th birthday bash is this Aug-bank holiday weekend, prob somewhere in the Peaks or a farm around Nottingham, def summat to look into if yer feeling releases on Strobe etc (check Facefuck group). It won't be their last party, but expecte the unexpected

     

    Discogs threads compiled by Notts heads have outlined as many records played by the collective between 1989-present, well worth a dig:

    This deserve a re-airing, another staple of Simon DK's later sets
