Today the day finished at 2.15pm. Unless of course, you had parents to see….
Just for general wonderings…
Today the day finished at 2.15pm. Unless of course, you had parents to see….
Today you are in for a treat. Not only do you get another daily picture that shows what an exciting life I lead, but you also get to listen to me waffle on about music.
What's brought this on I hear you say. Well actually it was a spam email. Let me explain…
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a company called Vinyl Me, Please who were inviting me to subscribe to their service. It turns out their service is rather interesting: limited edition LP, original artwork print plus a custom cocktail recipe (not quite sure about the cocktail recipe). You have no idea what the LP will be; it could be anything from rap to jazz to country to funk. The price you pay for the subscription? $38 per month. Yep, you're right, USA only – unless you want to whack another $20 for delivery.
Now, I like a bit of vinyl, it's not the only form of music I buy, far from it – I love a CD, download through iTunes, streaming through Spotify, I've even got bloody cassettes – but like I said, I like a bit of vinyl, so I was interested.
So I googled it, well to be precise, I googled 'vinyl subscription uk'. What did the mighty Google come up with? Well a few bits and pieces. But this company caught my eye: Wax & Stamp.
Now may be a good time to insert today's Project365. Just going off on a tangent: 83 days into 2015 already?!…
So what is Wax & Stamp all about? Well it is a vinyl subscription service based in the UK. For £26 per month you get a couple of LPs (or a LP and an EP) – one chosen by the company, one chosen by some guest selector. You have no control over what is sent – all you know is that it will be a new release – but it could be pretty much anything.
Sounds interesting – but I'm still undecided.
Today’s picture is Billy Boy. He was begging for a bit of my pork pie…I must admit he did get a little bit. He’s so cute!
A trip to Peterborough led to the discovery of a new shop: Tiger. The shop is a bit like IKEA without all the furniture. It is just full of loads of ‘stuff’ – as well as 1000s of people – didn’t buy anything though.
Couple of new albums….very exciting…
Bit of an eclipse going on today. My Y10 boys were mad for it! Even if it does look like some sort of weird carol service!
