- Art Of Field Recording (Dust-To-Digital, sampler CD (http://dust-digital.com/rosenbaum.htm)) - listened to this three times at work, and desperately want to get copies of both the boxed set this sampler preceded, and the recent-ish second box. Every track a total joy

An L.P. :
# 2009/307 : Neil Innes : How Sweet To Be An Idiot (United Artists UAS 29492) - a little crackly on the quiet bits an the starts of the two sides, but otherwise a pretty good copy - one to upgrade should a near-mint one turn up

Sunday market (£12.50) :
# 2009/302 : Palestinian L.P., unable to read title (matrix : U-2568/9)
# 2009/303 : Shriekback : Tench (Y 21) - upgrade; passed on my other copy to James

# 2009/306 : The Easy Project - 20 Loungecore Favourites (Sequel NEM LP 772) - L.P. and 12 inch. Bought as I couldn't quite recall if my copy was vinyl or CD (the former, so I'll eBay this one)
- hardback : Promotional Shopping Bags - Best Designs From Retail Shops & Events (Meisei, 1992)
- DVD : The Devil And Daniel Johnston, which I was going to buy new sometime anyway
When I arrived home I wasn't especially excited by what I'd ended up with, save for the DVD - might have been better off buying one really terrific item online, a Neil Innes 7" or something, so am contemplating stopping going. Easy to just grab O.K.-ish things because they're cheap.

Listened to Sounds Of The 60s, though little of note except for The Angels and The Chiffons. Always great to hear Dancing In The Street, however often it gets aired. Wonder if the Kathy Kirby track (You're The One) featured Derek Bailey, who apparently appeared on at least one of her hits, Secret Love ?
X-word, by Boatman : 11/28.

# 2009/301 : Robert Wyatt : The Internationale/ The Red Flag (Lyntone LYN-10401/2; PLUTO 1) - mysterious white label single of tracks recorded in the summer of 1980. Absolutely wonderful. No mention at all of the single in the Wyatt book Wrong Movements...

X-word, by Paul : 17/28.
Found I'd won a Robert Wyatt 7" from the '80s I'd no idea existed - The Red Flag and The Internationale. A test pressing - did it ever get a proper release ? Number is PLUTO 1 - anything to do with radical publisher Pluto Press, I wonder ? Was it due to be part of Wyatt's Rough Trade series of cover version singles ?
Gave Jeanette a birthday 'phone call. Got her a copy of All Platinum Girlls; the second Women In Lounge CD; and the Destroy That Boy compilation; and made her a card of an old Shirley Collins concert poster.

In The Guardian, a Michael Jackson obit and supplement. Wasn't at all into his 'eighties material, but really like Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (very influential on Scritti Politti's Green Gartside) , and still enjoy hearing the Jackson 5 hits.

A 12" bought from Lawrence; and a 7" upgrade :
# 2009/291 : Jo'burg City Stars : Grooving Jive No. 1/ Soweto Bump/ London Drive (GlobeStyle NST 123) - difficult to work out exactly how many singles the label issued, as these were incorporated into the singles numbering system for parent label Ace, whilst GlobeStyle's L.P. series had its own separate prefix, making it easy to Google each number to see what the release was. I hadn't known about this terrific record...

Ralf Hütter interview : http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/jun/19/kraftwerk-hutter-manchester-international.
From Snoopers Paradise, yet another black ceramic cat ornament. From Oxfam, Langston Hughes' autobiography The Big Sea. And two hardbacks from Sandpiper : Takeaway, by Anthony Webb and Ingrid Rasmussen; and Exotic Postcards - The Lure Of Distant Lands, which I hadn't seen but had wanted since reading about it in 2007. £9, rather than its new price of near-£25.
