Being a little tired of reading about people finding "interesting" things to do with the millions of records that are of no use to anyone, I was psyched to find three unrelated stories of records actually being made for a change. Even-though they are not made of vinyl... One ice, another from a 3D printer & one optical.
Carried a camera with me at all times, even to what turned out to be one of the very last UK performances of the Sex Pistols.
Brunel University Dec 16th 1977. (If memory serves, I lost the people who gave me the ride out there & I had to walk home)
The final icing on the cake for the Miami/Basel trip was being given tickets to possibly the best live gig I've been to this year.
