Arts and Dark Crafts #2
Since last weeks storm of newsprint and PVA glue, things have come along. My front room has been momentarily freed from chaos. Two and half days – solid sticking down of the weeks headlines yet I’m none the wiser about what’s actually going on in the world. Rather than get caught up in the worry, I turned to red acyrlic and black spray paint, which has replaced any anxiety in my mind with a fine layer of fumes. However, having perhaps learnt a lesson from ‘The Lost Belongings’ limited editions, this time I took to spray painting with a make shift mask. Don’t think these old man lungs can handle another thick and sticky gloss coating, and for sure a lack of vocals with which to call out and complain with made this particular man a true psychotic misery. On this occasion, history doesn’t have to repeat itself.
Anyway, plan to today is to record a set of new songs so’s those murderous little fuckers have something to get their teeth into. After that, the next stage in my wonky plan will be to fill these little chests with crooked treasures, so keep in touch, and be sure, I’ll let you know how it’s all going down. xxx CroOK.
any set plans as to want’s gonna go in these little boxy beauties?

Can’t wait to see it all complete.

Lots of plans, none of which are currently set in stone. I reckon we’ll be finalising this next week. The aim is to have them up for pre-order on the website in advance of the release date. x
Ah . . . glad to hear from you. Toms got his double bass stored at his sisters house on Melville Road, which is 2 minutes from your Dad’s. Shall I get Bob to pick it up and take it over there. Would be great if you could work your magic on it, free reign. So you know, it won’t need to be finished by next week now, the date of the potential shoot has changed to the week of the 20th September. Let me know and I’ll try organise it. Nice one Daisy. xxx
Next week Hg? . . . Non existent god help me – I should stop with the continual coffee and cigarettes and get a bloody move on, and so should you for that matter – cuz I know thats what ya doing ya fucker
Yeah, back to work. No time to be nattering about fuck all on the internet.
I’m impressed with the mask, by the way. And relieved. I don’t think any of us could cope with that level of psychotic misery again. (Though I suppose it did give us Sunshine Devils.)
Lizzie says can you please put some marshmallows in the box?
