Personally, I’m glad to see the back of this year and this decade, here is to the teens. As for the podcast, just try and get hold of all of the albums, all so, so good. But I should say, in particular, check out ‘Slow Attack’ by Brett Anderson. Wonderful stuff. Hope you all have a great new year.
The cover is from a pumping station by a reservoir in Essex and the back artwork is from last summer at Langstone Harbour.
I’ll be at the King Street Tavern this afternoon at their art fair selling prints, zines, etc again. A4 high quality prints will be only £5 and everything will be cheap. Hope to see you there!
Issue 22 of Tweaker Zine has just gone up online with loads of articles, photography, skateboarding, illustration, etc. I put together a small article called Fifteen Story Love Song with photos from a recent skate exploration of a local derelict office tower, a rather unique skate spot in the sky. Click the image below to go to the article and I’ll be adding photos from that article and some unused ones to Forever Circling a little later today.
Another reminder that I’ll be in Little Johnny Russells from 12 tomorrow at the indoor market selling zines, books, gift cards, pin badges and lots and lots of PRINTS! I’ll have about 20 A4, very high quality photo paper prints of about a dozen different photos including a load I haven’t sold as prints previously. All going to be at a Christmas special price of £7 each, two for £12. Dirt cheap. See the photo below to see some of the new ones. I’ll be updating the online store with a bunch of these prints next week so if you can’t make it down tomorrow you can buy online in time for Christmas. Hope to see you tomorrow.

Hard to believe the podcast has been running for three years, that makes this the 36th monthly episode! Time flies. This month has been tough, I’ve listened to loads of new albums and had so many songs selected I’ve already got December’s song list almost done too. Heard that new Clientele album yet? One of the best bands (and from Hampshire!) and still making wonderful album after album. The new Old Canes album is stunning too and a good way of getting by until the new Appleseed Cast album due next year. The acoustic song by Metric is from their new EP, all acoustic versions of some of my favourite songs by them. So good. Can’t begin to say how good the Monsters of Folk, Arms and Sleepers and Among the Oak and Ash are. Finally there is a cover of Disorder by epic two piece El Ten Eleven, all made from overlaying guitar loops with pedals, not seperate tracks. See the video below of them playing it live, got to be seen to be believed.
The artwork photos are from a very drunken walk home as the sun came up. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but doesn’t it always?
I’ve set up a Quiet Corners page on that there Facebook to help send out news, new photos and so on. If you are on Facecrack and want to keep up with some QC things plus see over 100 photos too then get clicking!
I’ve also set up a LinkedIn profile for Quiet Corners too. If you want to view and connect go to uk.linkedin.com/in/quietcorners.
In December I will be at two art fairs in Southsea in Portsmouth. The first will be at Little Johnny Russells in Albert Road on Saturday 5th, starting from 12ish. The second will be at the King Street Tavern on Saturday 12th. I’ll be selling a load of prints of all different sizes, some of them framed, plus books, zines, gift cards and my new flock pin badges (see the photo below for a few of the things to go on sale). The gift cards and pin badges will go up in the Quiet Corners store (which I’ll be moving over to Etsy) in the next few days too, if you can’t make it down to one of the art fairs. Hope to see you on Saturday!
I was out early on my bike on Saturday morning (again) and after a ride along the sea front ended up at the harbour looking at the fishing boats. I popped in to Johnson’s, a fish wholesaler and small fish market, and they were kind enough to allow me to take photos of them at work for a while. I really recommend popping in there if you are passing by, the family run business is very friendly (they kindly went through all the fish telling me where they were caught), you can look at live crab and lobster and their fish is amazing, I had cod fillet for dinner last night. So good.
This is a photo from a previous trip, I’ll put up some photos from Saturday when I get the film developed later this week.
