@darrenmaggs.bsky.social @mrbrownetc.bsky.social @keefism.bsky.social Thanks for your replies- in the end I went with Michael’s Shoes in Lambeth, because highly rated, use JR soles (rated by American Cobbler as the best), & 10 min cycle from work. £125 which seems going rate. Wil report back 👞🪡

Listened to the Neil Rushton one today. Have heard a lot of those stories before but what a lovely, humble man. Essential listening if you don’t know about his techno arrived in the UK & still worth checking out if you do but want more detail from the horse’s mouth.

Top memory skills! The other place I used go back then was on a Farringdon Road. East One maybe? Proper single room drug pit.

Milo @milomix.bsky.social · 3d

I’ve definitely played there but can’t remember the details 😳 Was probably the furthest east I’d been back then!

Just found the first 12” I ever bought, from Record & Tape (as it then was) in Camden. Thought I’d sold tbh. Kind of a banger too.

Pretty sure I have one of his mixtapes from back then, was technically excellent. Think I ended up playing at his Jazz Bistro party but maybe we just talked about it… 30 years ago, I guess. Ofc he work in MVE for years so has amazing records, I always associate this with him.

DjHistory Podcast - Richard Sen (DJH025)

Milo @milomix.bsky.social · 3d

Listened this great @djhistory.bsky.social podcast while I packed up my records yesterday. Richard isn’t really unsung but his contribution should be celebrated. First met him on a trip to hear Weatherall play at the White Swan (iykyk) with a mutual mate maybe in 91/92?

It’s furry. Not an execution expert but I am led to believe the tools of execution are not very furry.

Nothing more boring than packing one’s records to move house. Except maybe the concept of Balearic as a genre (its AoR with a drum machine)

Milo @milomix.bsky.social · 4d

Dunno if this proves anything, but I have shared hyper pop playlist with a 28 yo friend at work and my kids keep stealing my clothes…

Tyler the Creator on whether youth culture still exists. I don't know if this is completely true, but it does seem more true today than in the past.

Excerpt reads: "Perhaps it’s this particular admixture of openness and mystique that accounts for the diversity and devotion of his fans. It’s rare for an artist 15 years into his career to be at the peak of his popularity, but here he is — and today, Tyler’s fans range from middle schoolers to baby boomers. That’s a testament to his appeal, though he has his own theory. “I don’t know if youth culture exists anymore,” he says. “I think a 42-year-old and a 15-year-old could have the same humor and style.” He thinks back on himself as a teen, caught up in “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” (2007), a song that many older hip-hop heads despised. (At the time, Ice-T said that the song “single-handedly killed hip-hop.”) “And now,” Tyler adds, “it’s like, people be on Twitter, 25 years’ age difference, talking about the same thing.”"

The excerpt is from a New York Times Style Magazine feature on Tyler the Creator, titled "Tyler, the Creator Always Does Things His Way"
