Spend 12 minutes of your time watching these. The best use of 12 minutes you'll make today.

"The world is dead"

Paul Mawhinney owns the worlds greatest music collection. He loves music. Its in his heart.

In a day of shitty compressed mp3s, itunes, disposability and music just being a commodity have a look at this beautiful short film about Paul Mawhinney and his collection. Its a genuinely moving piece of film.

It makes me want to torch the itunes store....I pine for a day when people buy records again.

Unfortunately I can't see that day ever coming.

The mighty Detachments are destroying 93 Feet East on Monday evening. Free entry. Doors at 7.30pm. More info here:

The band are currently working hard on their debut album with Trevor Jackson from Playgroup along with some other uber - producers whose names shall remain secret for now. The fruits of their labour will be revealed shortly. Stay tuned to the bands myspace page for further news...

Onwards true believers!

If you have purchased Detachments Fear No Fear from any digital store this week and you have a 2 minute version rather than the full 5:43 version then please email us at:

simon.thisisnotanexit@gmail.com

If you can attach your proof of purchase we will organise a refund.

This is unfortunately a delivery error on the part of the digital server and both Thisisnotanexit Records and Detachments apologise for this error - unfortunately it is out of our hands but we will do our best to make sure this doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Tomorrow evening - that'll be Thursday then - Simon A. Carr - that'll be me then - will be Djing at Vibe Bar on Brick Lane in East London with the legends that are Spectral Empire (their debut single Innerfearence / The Minotaur is coming out on Thisisnotanexit in September and blimey its heads down smacked out 80s horror soundtrack prog disco of the highest order) from 1930 - 2330. We'll be digging deep and playing weird whacked out sounds and enjoying a beverage or few at the same time. If you're in town come on down and say hi. What the hell else would you rather do on a Thursday.

Oh and its free entry too. Now you're interested.

As Gordon Ramsay would say - "Vibe Bar, DJ Sets, Spectral Empire, Simon A. Carr, free entry - DONE"

(Belated) Single of the week

This came out a few weeks ago and I forgot to highlight its necessity for purchase! Fontan are a new band signed to Studio's Information label and although all this balearica is becoming how shall we say it a bit samey in places this deserves your attention as it delves much more into the motorik drumming of Neu! and Harmonia and a krautrock 70s obsession with aching swooping guitar solos and a Beach Boys-esque vocal than simply retracing the nu-disco template. Beautiful stuff on a beautiful 12" (plus it comes with Studio and A Mountain Of One Remixes). Deserved praise for a rather splendid debut. Hopefully the album will be similarly grandiose in vision.

Be their friend:

Buy the 12" from Phonica as they're a real bricks n mortar record shop:
