Parklife

This is the shop.......
http://www.beatnikemporium.com/

We are very lucky that our shop just happens to have the best position in the whole
of Southampton. We sit between two parks and at this time of year
it becomes a
sea of green

This is the view of the park

A view of the shop from the park if I was lazing in
the springtime sunshine

This is the view of the shop if it had travelled back in time to the 60s
I love this photo effect

Chestnut trees glistening green

Trippy Tulips

Music

CD Of The Week... 'The Colourfield' 'Virgins and Philistines'
Best track 'pushing up the daisies'
I cannot sit still to this song it demands that you strut your stuff in a mad 60's come 80's stylee
I think i like The Colourfield more Than The Specials is that wrong?

2nd place cd of the week
Joanna Newsom
Have One On Me
Best track 'Good Intentions Paving Co', makes me want to get my tambourine out.

3rd place comp of the week
by Andy Spaceland
My friend Andy makes the best cd comps full of the weird and wonderful. A song that caught my attention is by Jacques Bodin 'Menage Enchante' it has a young french boy singing
The Magic Roundabout. Its creepy man.
Andy is in one of my favourite bands http://www.the-flies.com/

Racehorses
This is growing on me in fact it has grown. They sound a bit like Gorkys with a dash of 60's and a smidgen of super furrys. The track 'cake' makes me chuckle.

Euros Childs
This is such a lovely cd. Euros rules.

Beatnik Musings

One of my jobs today was to price and put out jewellery, well one of the many jobs to do. Sas, friend and fellow beatnik has found so

many fabby pieces over the weekend, wow, such beauties.

They sometimes get hidden in our far too small jewellery cabinet so I thought i'd show a few

pieces off... they deserve it...
