Mrs S has been beavering away in her studio for the past couple of months, fashioning as many ceramic delights as possible for an event taking place in London in a couple of days time. We're heading off to the smoke tomorrow morning and won't be back for at least a week. I've had to up my game in the real world while she's been in full-on creative mode, which means I haven't had much time to prepare posts to cover my absence, but I now find myself with a couple of hours to spare, so I'll see what I can achieve when the pressure's on!
Here's something that dropped into my in-box over the weekend. The band is called Opposite Sex and they hail from New Zealand. The phrase 'New Dunedin Sound' has been bandied about in relation to Opposite Sex, though they possibly wouldn't thank me for repeating it. They've described what they do as 'an absurdist-logico mix of Euro pop, Beat poetry, and subterranean lo-fi adventuring'. Their second album, 'Hamlet', gained a limited self-distributed release last year, but has recently become more widely available. From it, this is 'Oh Ivy'. If you're intrigued by what you hear, check out the whole album. See you in a week or so.

All the best to Mrs S for the London event, I'm sure it'll go well and hope all the work she's already put in will be worthwhile, plus a good trip to the big city for both of you.
That Opposite Sex video is slightly disturbing...!
Thanks C. You're not wrong about the video. Perhaps I should've posted it on Hallowe'en!
I'll be investigating the album after hearing this
It's not faultless George, but well worth checking out.
Slightly disturbing indeed; the Cramps in a red frock.
Quite like that. See they've got a song called Supermarket too: could have done with that a couple of weeks ago...
