Le Weekend,more CDs,Olvis and an Elvis remix

On Friday I sauntered down to Blackwells in Manchester University Precinct,to see if they had any of the books I particularly wanted.They didn't, but they do now have a nice cafe.

On the way,I came across a book fair in what is now the Mandela Building at the Metroplitan University, and bought a very old(by the look of the cover,sixties) compendium of Soviet short stories,by authors such as Maxim Gorky,Michael Bulgakov and Boris Pasternak(who of course wrote Dr Zhivago- which earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature but also complete ostracism within the Soviet Union).

In Piccadilly Records,my brother managed to get me to buy three more CDs;Olvis, an Icelandic musician whose whimsical folky pop meets electronica sounds a bit like Death In June with a theramin; Savath and Savalas, psychedelic Spanish folk with lush electronica-style production; and Booka Shade,German techno-disco.

At one of the decks,one of the punters was listening to a VERY limited 7" single which consisted of a Dub track overlaid with Elvis' vocals. The delighted punter left with the last copy, and as he left waved and shouted "thangyouverymuch".

Ahuhuh.
myra:
