gentle readers, with much gladness and perhaps a small tear in the eye, we can announce that the limited edition 'amidst the grease and chaos' album from our highly mysterious iron filings and sellotape is now officially sold out in the decorative stamp online store. how we must extend great thanks to all of you who have secured yourselves a copy, we are so very grateful indeed.

we must also take a moment to extend our gratitude to all of you who have shown support, enthusiasm and encouragement for the project, we have been totally blown away by the response. there has been much clandestine communication with the iron filings compound, and how talk has begun of possibly preparing a further limited second edition. til then, the download is still available, just in case you need it.

again, many thanks to you all

dh.106 revisited

since the holiday season is now ostensibly upon us, we thought it would be nice to spend a few posts bringing you some entertaining bits and pieces as well as revisiting some glory days now past, that there might be some extra treats to amuse you here during the quieter moments. to that end, why not start with an old favourite from the decorative stamp projection room vaults.

how it has been so very many moons since our twin commanders jamesphoney & jamesreindeer frightened and confused us with their debut collaborative release 'rough tongue surfaces', and indeed with their outrageously bizarre video for the mighty dh.106. let us once more revel in the unparalleled silliness therein, and rejoice that it truly is possible to be this peculiar within these modern musical environs.
