On a teenage trip to the US I copped my only copy of the source, it features in the up and coming section a new group called the wutang clan , love that

Be a welcome change from 'Fletch' banging on about Joe Gomez not scoring a club goal ever

Smashed Blocked fanzine by William Luther. Something Has Hit Me by me. Both 60s besotted.

Nice story alert. In 1993, Bill Luther walked into a Philadelphia record shop and bought a fanzine I made. He wrote to me and shared his. We’ve been transatlantic buddies ever since. Last night, 33 years later, we finally met up to share a load of beers and stories. Loved it.

I’m not really sure if today is the actual release anniversary for 3 Feet High and Rising but I’ve got to share my wax…

And as always big up to Prince Paul

Well, that explains the erratic delivery times.

It's so crazy, half the time I could fly via Europe and it'd be cheaper

I didn't know until tonight that Bob Power had a personal website. It's a fun throwback to the Macromedia Flash days. (It's just Javascript, though.) So nerdy. So clickable. If you're a gear head like he was, it's heaven. He shared all his knowledge. Zero gatekeeping: bobpower.com

Thanks man , think It's awesome I love it, it's a wood block print so he hasn't used a paint brush it's individual layers of colours printed over each other 🤯

Well now I'm hearing third hand 🤯
