Today's top finds from my charity shop rummaging! I walked up to Cotham and Whiteladies Road to look for treasures today. It was a real treat. I think I went in ten or 11 different charity shops and looked through hundreds of records. I see a lot of the same records and I've started to wonder if that's a general time based event and collectively across the country everyone is getting rid of the same records, or if it's a localised thing where there are regional trends for what to keep and what to give away. Either way, Bristol is currently flooded with the following artists: Cliff Richard Paul Young Chris Rea Engelbert Humperdink Roxy Music

Yesterday's charity shop finds: two vintage toy sewing patterns - a bargain at 25p each! They have never been used, I can't wait to trace them and give them a go. The bear's duffle coat is especially cute :-)

Here is a selection of the best record covers I spotted in charity shops yesterday:
Relax to the sound of 12 original hit songs (cup of tea? So good, or not, that I found this in two separate shops)
Pavarotti's Greatest Hits (look at his little face! The costume! The pose! Consider the art director working on this!)
Metalergy (what is she doing to that kid's hair?!)
Easy Listening Beatles (what is going on in that scene?! The hookah, the couple and the nerd!)
Barron Knights Jesta Giggle (the clown make up over a beard!)
Buzzy Linhart Pussycats can go far (just...OMG)
I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again

The stuff we look up on the internet
This is the blog I've started to chronicle the things me and my friend look up, often to do with etymology or where things or people come from.
We love the internet.

Yesterday I was incredibly lucky to see the wonderful Matthew Luhn speak at Wildscreen. He talked about storytelling, and about his work as a Story Artist at Pixar. It was a great mix of practical advice, entertainment and inspiration, and even after two hours, it felt too soon to finish.
He spoke about the importance of structuring stories, which is something I have struggled to communicate in my comic talks. I'll be using his advice to improve my talk before I go to Amsterdam next month for DSGN Day!

The Ramones
Morrissey Curates The Ramones DETAILS Format: 12” Vinyl Label: Rhino/Sire Release type: RSD Exclusive Release More Info:
Morrissey, being a big Ramones fan, particularly of the early years, had always wanted to compile a “best of” album and this year he got his wish. This compilation reflects Morrissey’s experience of listening to the band for the first time. With the sad passing of Tommy recently, both management and Morrissey felt this was a fitting tribute. The use of the Union Jack on the cover reflects both how important the band were to the UK music scene but also how the UK embraced them and their sound. The photo on the back cover by Danny Fitzgerald is evocative of the period and was selected by Morrissey.
