The Future's Beatroot
In the Blade Runner/ MP3/genetically modified future we will look at such objects with wonder. Flat, black and 7in wide, the fine people of Glasgow's F&J Records are keeping the faint
heartbeat of vinyl going with the
latest instalment of their Club Beatroot series. Two songs on one platter with the likes of the Karelia, the Yummy Fur and French honorary Weegies, Olympia. Future releases will include the likes of the Delgados and Bis. All this and a beetroot recipe on the back of
every single. Tasty.
Don ’t do that, do this. Fifteen days of unmissable stuff
