I’m off to the Electric picnic<\/a> in morning to put on a venue called the Gramophone Disco.Having been there on Tuesday and Wednesday, I can relate to you that the site is in shite and it’s cold there. If your going bring warm clothes and wellies or waders or a boat…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This track catches the vibe of what we do there.<\/p>\n

James Luther Dickinson- O How She Dances<\/p>\n[audio:\/O%20How%20She%20Dances.mp3]\n

This is what I said about it last year ————–
\nHank Penny with String Band- Blood Shot Eyes<\/p>\n[audio:\/Bloodshot_Eyes_Hank_Penny_with_String_Band.mp3]\n

This tune being something of an anthem at a Gramophone disco thing I do with some pals.<\/p>\n

Gramophone disco being an all night bar with a 78’s , normal records and a pre sixties music policy. The Gramophone disco has a nice carny feel with various diversions including-<\/p>\n

<strong>Smash hits gramophone disco.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is where the crowd listen to a record and vote whether to smash it or whether it’s a hit and a keepy. It’s\u00c2\u00a0 fun for a various reasons<\/p>\n

1. Smashing records(particularly brittle shellac) is very satisfying fun.<\/p>\n

2. It has the added bonus of being a kind of anarchist history smashing theatre.<\/p>\n

3. When I have a enough smashed 78’s, I’m going to make a time machine out of them.<\/p>\n

4. It’s good to crate dig in public and share the pleasure of finding an unknown great record- makes a surprisingly good entertainment.<\/p>\n

5. It’s a way of getting people to actually listen and pay attention to old 78’s.<\/p>\n

6. It’s a good antidote to the whole po-faced worship of the past, old records etc.<\/p>\n

We’re doing the Electric picnic this weekend so drop in if your around and here’s another 78\/tune to listen to on the drive there.<\/p>\n[audio:\/Strawberry_Fair%20_The_Beverly_Sisters.mp3]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
