Dām Funk and a Nightmares on Wax DJ set sounds pretty good to me!

I have a spin cleaner too! Best to do them in batches I find - double sided tape (for sleeve repair), new paper inner sleeves and new plastic outer sleeves all kept at the ready too, along with old rags for cleaning the cover of anything second hand :)

For some strange reason today I've been listening to Space Force Anthem

Sad to hear about Mike Fomison - I remember a crazy road trip moving him up to Wellington from Chchch many decades ago... and discovering the costs of taking a rental car across the strait without asking - sigh.

That Avantdale video is quite something, and, yep, it's great to see wonderful (at least to me, I wasn't his son in the 90s) Peter Scott in there. Such a fine bassist who seems to have come to terms with his demons.

Can't find any other work by Neil Vesey - but there is a Mark Vesey who studied graphic design and did Film scene painting back in the 70s who has a similar style - now resident in Australia...
puts me in mind of Phil Judd's work too - or Maryrose Crook for that matter....
