ghosting


for percy who made astoundingly beautiful records...

a whole while ago now a bit of digital turned a bit pen and paper and stamps and walks to the post office  and a bit of acquaintance turned a whole lot dear pal...

the ghost of electricity july 25th 2008



"Yes, my six week search is at an end, and did this track get emailed from Arkansas, downloaded from DivShare or lifted from Lime Wire? Friends, it did not. Ally bought it in a record shop and posted it to me to rip.

Does Feargal Sharkey approve of this sort of thing? Will Mortlake Sorting Office soon be writing me a stern letter to warn me about 'single sharing'?

This is a Dusty Seven; expect crackles and heartache.

Thank you Mistress Ally and bona, bona lavs x
