Being a record of the ruminations, ramblings and obsessions of a Hound of the noblest breed (or so His Lordship claims, anyway). The focus being on dark music and culture, style, spirituality and - naturally – Basset Hounds.
Welcome to the chronicles of Lord Bassington-Bassington, coming to you from Little Storping in the Swuff – a quaint place located somewhere between England’s Lake District and the outskirts of the Norwegian capital.
This is intended as a log of His explorations of music, books, films and so on. I, your humble chronicler, is merely His Lordship’s secretary.

Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer's debut record, Flattery Not Included, has finally arrived here at Bassington Manor. It took a little less than a month to arrive, due to a combination of that most English tradition, the postal strike, and a slightly uninterested vendor.
Flattery Not Included is not just a tremendously enjoyable record, it also makes Lord Bassington-Bassington want to play all his old Hip Hop records again (so this blog post is composed to the sounds of Public Enemy). So what better way to celebrate this joyous occasion than by posting Mr. B's latest video, "Chap-Hop History?"
And if you would now excuse His Lordship, he has to jump around the living room for a while, waving his paws in the air as if he simply doesn't care.
Unfortunately, the people selling the record are... well, let's not get too specific. So you might end up waiting forever to get it. This is doubly tragic in this age of quick downloads, as Mr. B deserves to have people BUY his records.
Ah! Lovely!

ReplyDeleteQuick downloads, you say? Where!? :-P
ReplyDeleteYou should NOT download the good Rhymer's music.
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't?
ReplyDeleteI shan't, by Jove!
I need to get a hold of this chap personally I guess ;-P
He's playing at The Anarcho-Dandyist Ball in London in December, but there's no way I can get over there at that time.
ReplyDeleteThe Anarcho-Dandyist ball? I believe I'm missing out on something here... :-o
