The Grains of Sand

[Mr.Segment]

Yes, finally, soon there will be proper scans of these negatives + a few other bands after almost 2(!) years of waiting. Rev.Sideburn has moved his geriatric limbs downtown and promised results this upcoming Saturday! Miracles do still happen. And old negatives can be a bitch. But hey, cool thing is, no one have seen any of these photographs before. (except for this old shitty scan, but proper images soon up!)

Two (great) kids ( I might be geriatric, no way Thomas..) , collecting, concertmaking and recordspinning takes the man, no doubt. Hey! have a job who actually pays for all fun fun fun f u n fun fu n. and un .. f.....

I wish. I bought a small lot on eBay containing 3 archive envelopes with negatives from a defunct newspaper. Taken by a staff photographer, no full name. The mind boggles as to what else might have been once filed away and now probably lost. Seller had no more than those three, bought at a local flea or something. The two other groups are The London Knights (some incredibly cool liveshots + teens dancing) and a girl group which name escapes me right now. They look like the Ace of Cups. But ain't.
