Yeah! The pressing world has stood still while the demand has exploded! I've read the odd story of old disused machines being discovered and brand new plants being made... but I'm hearing the same stories from people I know trying to get vinyl pressed. Delays, delays, delays. I've seen things like personal pressing machines coming onto the market, and that could be quite useful for the one man band outfits. No idea about their quality though!

PoD. I didn't have the requisite 100EUR to buy that! I did grab the Giegling compilation around the same time, plus a great set of Huerco S remixes of Olin. We had Leafar Legov play the Inverted Audio tent at Farr Festival this year, and he rolled out a bunch of stuff from the KettenKarussell album. Which I now feel compelled to listen to this afternoon. But yeah, PoD. That message that PoD is over now. No more Traumprinz? No more DJ Metatron?

De School sounds impressive, I see a lot of people namechecking the vibe there. Our local awesome place is Hidden (Manchester). Great curation going on there. Fatherhood means I don't get to visit it though!
