Wishing everyone who reads this blog a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
Lots of exciting things to come in 2012, stay tuned…
Stunning images from the Cassini Mission / NASA archives I found whilst researching the forthcoming Planetarium show.
Undoubtedly the don of the psychedelic era (alongside Rick Griffin – hard to choose between them) – Victor Moscoso.com
New compilation of tracks on Fat City from the out of print ‘Vintage Voltage’ mix by Andy Votel, one of my favourite mix CDs of recent years. If you like analogue electronics, moogs and vocoders then this is for you.
Via Bleeding Cool, roll on June 2012…

Been out all day, no doubt this is everywhere by now but, oh. my. god.
Absolutely love this cover, from the 70’s font to the kaleidoscoped imagery. Now-Again do it again, more beautifully packaged and immaculately researched music unearthed, this time from India. I don’t know anything about them but you can read, see and hear more HERE.

I’ve been sitting on this for a few weeks now, completely nuts video to ‘Night & Day’, the first release from Pepe Deluxé‘s new album ‘Queen of the Wave’. The album comes out on Jan 30th via Catskills Records and they will be having a release party at the London aquarium on Jan 23rd with films, an album playback and your truly spinning some sea-themed tunes. The band’s website has a nice 8 page download about the making and history behind the record too.
A couple of Hellboy images, again featured on Bad Librarianship. The top one is by Warwick Johnson Cadwell and the lower by Hellboy regular (although he’s just stepped down from that post) Duncan Fegredo. Looks like it could be connected to the forthcoming Hellboy in Hell book to be drawn by Mike Mignola himself.

Toby from New Analog Posters in Manchester contacted me to show these great posters they screen print for live music events in Manchester. You can buy all these and more – they have a Hammer Horror Music project which is a first for me – at their store newanalog.bigcartel.com. They also have a blog here with some content dear to my heart.
