The very wonderful Jenny Soep was seen sitting on the floor at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow during last month’s rollicking solo show. She scribbled and occasionally lifting an inky thumb to check perspective. I moved around franticly but somehow she captured me. Thanks Jenny.

At KJA mansions a bag of 40 or so of the recent split 7″s between KJA and Velcro Stars has been unearthed. The buzzing bounciness of the KJA track, Lydia, was heard on Mark Lamaar’s BBC Radio 2 show in 2009. We’ve put them on the shop page for a bargain price.
