Hostage in Hammersmith

For the past few days I've had the most oddest thing happen to me, I've had records being held hostage so to speak from me.  The worst thing about this is how banal this actually is and has some parallels with Byuu and his recent drama with some PAL Snes games lost via USPS. 

I'll start with my story, a few days off from work and that and a trip out to Hammersmith on the other side of town.  A few successful things found including some Orbital CDS (Satan and Peel Session mainly) and quite a bit of over priced vinyl that included some that weren't priced up but were sufficiently new to me to pique my interest.  These included the Justin Robertson Mixes of Boss Drum by The Shamen and a Josh Wink remix of N-Joi Bad Things two cracking mid 90's dance cuts that I'll conservatively price at £3 for arguments sake.

Sadly though, these weren't priced and they couldn't sell them to me but the woman in charge said she would put them aside for me with my name on them and if I came back tomorrow she said they would be priced and ready to go.  So I decided to come back on the Friday and see if anything had changed but, nothing of course has.  I was told by a different woman that the person who prices vinyl wasn't in. 

So I'll leave it a week and come back and see if my situation has changed, but in the meantime my records remain hostage until someone comes back and prices them out.

In  the meantime have a look at a racially insensitive comedians record from Rhodesia that was also on sale there.

Pewdiepie and Nazi's and humour and that.

Pewdiepie is an actual racist, he's a full on 1488er that want's to exterminate the Jews and that or so if you buy into what the press is saying about this depressing outrage over latest vids and such. 

To be honest I don't care about Pewds, I've seen his videos once or twice but to be honest I thought fun that they are they're not for me. My cousin seemed to rate him though which is something I guess but as I say it was just more promoted Youtube bollocks, like kids react will it blend or Jenna Fucking Marbles.

Apparently though he was a full on hitler youth If you believe the Wall Street Journal and he's managed to piss off Disney who were promoting and advertising with him.  All I can say is good on yer mate, online advertising is cancer and if you've ever surfed without adblock you'll know how bad the net can be especially on the pron side of things.  Yeah it seems he was doing this to troll his advertisers and isn't a Nazi at all, just a bit of black humour.

On a side note as google is being cunty at the moment we finally got the Kangz leaflet off of my old PC and will share it here as it doesn't like it me editing the original post.

Lamb

Here's an odd bit of promotional bollocks that I picked up recently, a tape all about lamb. 

How to get the best from lamb, a "joint" production from Woman magazine and Colman's Mustard is an odd mix of instruction and recipe stretched over a tape.  From the era of women's magazines that prized domesticity and hearth and home over cheap sensationalism or Kim Cardassian's new look. 
There are recipes for Roast lamb with bacon and apricot glaze and moussaka as well as lists of the type of cuts and a guide for wines to drink with it (pro tip don't drink wine its vile).

Apart from that, I haven't had the chance to listen to it as my tape player is pretty lame. Will have to crank this out on the boombox to see if it has any comedy or sampling potential.

We wuz Kangz.

A junk tour to Croydon and to see if they would have the Final rework of Shin Megami Tensei 4 as there is quite a few indie shops there and its on a physical cart here whereas the original was Eshop only.  Sadly though I've had no such luck there, although they had a wall of Speccy and C64 games in Playnation (Beebul cassette anyone?) 

Came out and they had the Dualers playing some reggae music down by what used to be Allders (rather nice too) and it all went downhill after that.  Croydon is largely terrible for junk touring as there are few charity shops and its a rabid UKIP base which isn't even the worst thing about it.  Croydon is sadly infested with weirdo christians, due to a high ethnic population I've seen so many of them out on the street from full choirs to a few Gurkha's playing a guitar like last time. 

This time I found something that takes the cake, a full pamphlet on Afrocentrism or as you might know it We Wuz Kangz and sheit.

Seriously in Poundland there were a few leaflets laying around saying that Jesus was black and the lost tribes of Israel was black or native American. I'm no racist in fact I'm a fully paid up fence sitting Liberal but this type of nonsense does no one any good. Of course Jesus wasn't white, if he actually existed he'd have Jewish or Arabic features as befits those from the middle east.  He would and I repeat not look like Morgan Freeman on crack, like he did there.   Also relying on the Bible for evidence is retarded.  A distillation from numerous sources codified as whole in the 4th century from a variety of now long dead Christian sects and movements good luck with that.

And none of them mention race or native fucking Americans as half of the lost tribes of Israel. 

Weed Anniversary.

To celebrate the fact that this is the 420th post and that this post is going to be about drugs and shit.  420 or 4/20 comes from the horrible yank dating of April 20th Hitlers birthday a supposed legalisation of cannabis and all related products, though looking on line it seems it could be due to time.  If we were going to do it here it would be blaze it 204 as we are date, month year instead of the retarded month day year in the states.

To be honest like most things, I don't give a fuck about drugs, getting drunk or gambling as such, and most of the people I've seen who actually toke a lot were cunts to me.  I'm not going to moan on about legalizing that shit or medical Marijuana use (unless you have peer reviewed articles on what it supposedly treats apart from Glaucoma that they always bring up, that would be an interesting read). 
I'm not going to moan about gateway drugs and that whole nice guy smoked one spliff now a grade A cunt on Heroin, type yellow press that they push in the Mail, cos most people I knew aren't like that.

In fact the best advert for not doing drugs is this, do drugs and you'll end up with the memory of a gnat.  There are a few people I know who's short term memory is all over the place due to drugs and that.  Also if you do drugs you'll end up a cunt but we all know that already. 

A Mickey Mouse presidency.

God emperor Trump is now president and everyone is losing their shit and virtue signalling like a bastard.  We get it he's a dunce, a blowhard, a jerkwad and a boor.  He sad bad things about wimmins and immigrants, and wants to make America Grate Again.  To be honest I don't even like the guy and I'm siding with him simply for all the weirdos and anti fascist pillocks that seem to be against him.

The worst thing is that I genuinely hate the racists as well, they aren't my kind of people. Even though the worst thing is that there is no outraged middle ground.  Maybe a Father Ted style down with this sort of thing would do.
The moaning goes on and on about the inauguration, about the crowds, about the policies.  I fully expected a jug band or an old man playing the spoons on the actual day instead we have a clip of him singing my way with Melania.

Twitter, that big salt mine online is particularly insufferable, with every virtue signalling bastard squeaking their brains about the inauguration.  So much so its almost painful to wade through each and every bastard post on it and that's both sides of the political divide as well.

In brighter news I've came across my first ever videogame Atheist, in Dungeon Traveler 2.  We finally cleared the Piertan tower dungeon and have rocked up at a church out of town.  There is a small girl in the bushes called Lize.  She outright mocks the benevolent god and donation spiel of her older sister Fiora and says out right that there really isn't a god.  Having a look she seems to be a playable character which means she could be an asset to the team.  I'm guessing Spieler class as she carries around a stuffed penguin.

More worryingly she's 12 and as everyone has some semi nude artwork of them here, this has to potential to be super creepy. 

Edit, yup proper bent ref territory, guess this was one of the censored ones Atlus did.

Urban Outfitters

We have had snow here for all of half a day and really wish this is the end of it. Not a big fan of the cold and such be glad when the warmer weather arrives. In other news we have a tibbet visitor from next door ghost writing this so if the words are a little wonky then blame him.

Urban Outfitters.

Don't know if you have them around here but these are the most hipsterish things imaginable.  A full on Nathan Barley warehouse, that of course sells LP's and posh notes and stuff.  We went to Bluewater out in Kent today and our nearest store is there.  I always look in, largely at people buying records and the hipster clothes.  Today had something new a cactus stall.  I've been aware that they are up and coming even chic for a while, the current journal has a spread from a trendy pop up in Dalston so its not surprising that UO would start selling them.

The good news is that although overpriced for what they are, what they have is nicely labeled and potted up in terracotta.  There are a few aloes and a huge Euphorbia on the ground in pots with an eyewatering price to match and an Astrophytum in a large pot for £15.  The cheapest are basically some seedlings in individual thimble sized pots for £3, at that size I can't make out what species it is, just that its a cactus.  What you would normally pay around £2-3 from growers and a bit more from a garden center, they are selling for £6.

Nice stuff as well such as some Gymnos, a donkey dick ( AKA Myrtillocactus and yes my one did look like that before succumbing one winter) and some mesembs including a Titanopsis Calcarea. The downside is the price but hey its a hipster store and its Nathan Barley's wearing them as a ring or some such nonsense that are the main market here, not long time growers such as me.
