Cheers all
Itâs #IndependentBookshopWeek & we were asked to the dance by Northumberland bookshop @ForumBooks, so weâve compiled this very eclectic playlist based on the pamphlets they ordered for the occasion. You listening @thesociallondon ? Because no one should drink alone...
Kicking off is Ry Cooder with the theme to Paris, Texas. This one goes out to Lorena Lohr. For anyone who joined our drinks session last week, youâll know why we chose this track to reflect Lorenaâs beauty of a pamphlet, Rough Trade Edition No.3âBlue Springs.
Next up, Daniel Blumbergâs Minus. Danielâs pamphlet was created whilst he made the album, hence the title, Drawings of Minusâaka Rough Trade Edition No.1 - our very first publication!!
Probably one of our favourite Arthur Russell tracks nextâArms Around Youâalthough it was very hard to choose cos theyâre all bloody great. This oneâs going out to @richard_king and his pamphlet The August Fawn
from Series 2

Would you rather with @maxjohnporter and @signifyingwolf âfor those of you who havenât watched Maxâs ace video for the last online launch that we hadâhead hereâŠ
You usually hear this one on @sohoradio's @MorningGlorySoh show each weekday morning. YES, the golden-haired Viking on now playing Heavenâs End, the one'n'only Mr @jamesendeacott & his band Loop. Read one of his many tall & short stories from his pamphlet of the same name.
Next up, Tastes Good with the Money by @FatWhiteFamily, this one goes out to the brilliant @adellestripe & @CradduckLisa for their collaborative pamphlet Rough Trade Edition No.31âSweating Tears with Fat White Family. Genius stuff!
Where's Helen from @ForumBooks - I wanna see you raise a glass and have a dance with us!

Whoâs been to @SteamDown_'s weekly Wednesday jams down in Deptford? I tell you who, @EmmaLWarren has & she wrote all about them in Rough Trade Edition No.28âSteam Down or How Things Begin
Electric Fire, weâre gonna take you higher
Read about this brilliant band and much more in @richardjphoenix's inspiring pamphlet D.I.Y. as Privilege: A ManifestoâRough Trade Edition No.36. They've also been making some new music during lockdown with @HeartnSoulArt

Good Pop, Bad Pop by Jarvis Cockerâthis pamphlet is about Br*xit but donât let that put you off! Letâs all get onboard the Trans-Europe Express!
Now weâve got a track by Mr Cocker himself, Running The Worldâwe thought this one summed up the genius work behind @Coldwar_Steveâs pamphlet, Rough Trade Edition No.32âMc Faddenâs Cold War...
Here's another classic image as seen in @Coldwar_Steve's pamphlet...
Oh the early years of this great artist...
EMBRACE THE WANK now by @lukewrightpoetâcan you believe this guy? Heâs on his 96th online poetry gig of lockdown tonightâstarting at 8pm on his Twitter feed. Go check it out after this. From his pamphlet After Engine TroubleâRough Trade Edition No.24
So @Mathew__Clayton was a teenage bellringer & when you read his pamphlet of the same name he recommends that you listen to Yello. We had to choose Oh Yeah for this playlist as it reminded us of @BabakGanjei crackin' joke when he did his show with @OfficeOfCraig on @sohoradio 
According to @BabakGanjei this track is what sex sounded like in the 80s. Howlin' for days after he cracked that one!
Did you know the genius artist & creator of Rough Trade Edition No.6âFilm Ideas, Mr @BabakGanjei was also in a few bands back in the day? Wet Paint being one of them. Letâs 'Hug It Out'
with him now...
with him now...
Next up are legendary Japanese indie-pop-rockers Shonen Knife with Love Song, the perfect accompaniment to @PhotoLauraLewis's photographs of Japanese love hotels as featured in Passion 202âRough Trade Edition No.17
Next up, Rough Trade Edition No.4âLove, oh love 
by Ms @anatheraincoats, the legendary Raincoat @RaincoatsThe and all round brilliant human being with You're a Million. Have to say though that this one is dedicated to @shirleyol cos you're a bloody good egg 
too. Love ya
