Dig it Deep

Another quick post - since I couldn't let this new collaboration between two Detroit legends go unmentioned.

If you're a Detroit head, these two will need no introduction. And my love for Carl Craig has been mentioned just a few times before!

THEO PARRISH - FALLING UP (CARL CRAIG MIX)

There's something indescribable about how these Detroit boys can just hold down one chord for minutes at a time while at the same time managing to fill it with so much emotion. On headphones this pins your brain back and pulls it out through your ears.


Only 300 copies of this 10 inch gem are in circulation..... if you find one, snap it up!

I've just bought a copy from here, where I also found a copy of the first release on Ed Banger records. Which must be pretty rare as well i reckon. I'll post a track up here if it's any good.



Also... it seems like only two weeks ago that the last David Shrigley book came out. That's because it was. Now it seems he has another on the way.

Called 'Worried Noodles', it's released as a 12" record on the Tomlab label. Except it's not a record, it's a book.

Take a look at it here.

If you're new to his work, i'd highly recommend 'The Book of Shrigley' - his recent compendium of old & new material. Beware though.. if you do get hooked there are a fair few books to collect! 'Enquire Within' is my top find so far... with a hand-crafted scribble on the front cover - although my copy of Grip signed 'You are a Fucking Cunt' is also a prized possession!



Since I mention Shigley, the location for this year's 'Santa' Ghetto' has just been announced. I've been the last couple of years, where a treasure trove of Banksy work has been available for sale. I suspect the way prices for his stuff have been going that there won't be anything by him that's good & affordable, but you never know. It is christmas. (GAH!) Otherwise i'm sure you'll find something else there you like:
