A return to rock vinyl on Gulls Window Circus after the 8 week The 2000s series: lots of interesting tracks from many eras, many from recent reissues, plus new music from Black Helicopter from their Balancing Act LP, plus the debut 7″ from Cam Couple, the latest project of John Hugh Dickey (Pie, Verst, Richard Bitch), and two recent Harriet Records releases, by Jim’s Twenty-One and The Ekphrastics. I also play a track each from Dave Formula (Magazine, Visage) and Mozart Estate (Lawrence from Felt and G-Kart Mozart). Special mention goes to the Philip Lester track from The Direct Records Story Vol. Three compilation.
