Heres a link to the web site www.berliner-teufelsberg.com

Regardless of it being a month old its still their new record, which is where I was coming from. Im really liking the album too, Im feeling it more than the last one.

Point taken about Pitchfork. Not sure why I linked PF as I rarely read the site, bit lazy on my part.

New Pallbearer is great; http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19570-pallbearer-foundations-of-burden/

Danny, hows it going on getting your darning machine up and running, as I going to need some fixing up soon?

Yeah Brixton is a big space, did they level the floor out (they use to always do this) or were you dancing on a slope?

Buying gear in a venue is always hit and miss, like you say it goes with the territory.

Saw a band called Ghold on Friday they were supporting Beehover in London, thought they were really good, check them here;

only place i ever had trouble getting in was faces in essex

 

Faces can fuck off, thats not a club thats a room full of dicks.

Been told really good things about the Four Tet party in Brixton, shame I didnt make it now.

getting there friday, evian christ release party @ oval space. 

need to get tickets to the event the night after for joy o + vaal. 

 

what else is cracking? 

Im not a fan of Oval Space, they seem to have loads of sound complaints which ends up with them turning it down. The room is ok but big.

On 21st my friends are putting Chez Damier on in a nice little space in East London

Interstate in Covent Garden, London, has closed down. Real shame! The place that first got me into selvedge denim I think... Bought my first pair in there. Edwin Nashvilles in 1998.

I got my first pair at Interstate too, and I always put my head in when Im in the west end- this is a real shame.

This is great news, you guys must be stoked.

Been listening to Vio-lence a fair bit recenlty and forgot how great they were.

Thanks in advance

At the start of the season I thought the 3 teams who came up to go back down, so apart from Cardiff they've done well. But I think your right with;

18 Sunderland

19 Fulham

20 Cardiff

I’ve really enjoyed watching Man U having a hard season and its also nice to see some mid table teams pushing up the league, its better for the spectator.

Infectious Grooves have been doing some shows again with Jim Martin from FNM on guitar and Trujillo on bass.

Henry Blackers debut album has just come out...check them out.

Fuck- sorry to hear this news. Will keep an eye out.

I like the people at SoS and they have a good selection but as people say its very expensive, I like to look but rarely buy anything, although their sales ok.

In a sort of defense at their prices it must be very expensive to have a large store like that in that location, I bet the rent is sky high, and like stated above good on them in having a bricks & Mortar shop as London needs good men’s stores.

New Russian Circles album is a monster;

In this tread a few posts down roping is explained well.

http://supertalk.superfuture.com/index.php/topic/144918-union-special-43200-collection-pic-heavy/

Post Im referring to;

To address some of the questions that have been posed in the thread:

These are all chain-stitch machines.

The chain-stitch based machine was the first commercially available sewing machine. I believe the "modern" chain stitch was invented by James Gibbs, (needle with revolving lower looper).

As far as "roping" I am going to hurt some feelings but here it goes....

The Union Special 43200 G does not cause roping.

The reason a chain stitch hem on a 43200G is roped is two fold. The main reason is what is called feed differential; when the folder is put on the machine it affects the way that the material is metered through the machine. Many modern machines have walking feet, needle feed, or differential feed dogs to ensure that the top layers and bottom layers being sewn move through the machine at the same rate.

Like many chain-stitch machines the 43200G is a plain feed machine, which means it has a static presser foot and one set of feed dogs on the bottom. A hem consists of (mostly) three layers, when sewing the feed dogs move the bottom layer and the top layer is pushed under the presser foot, leaving the top layer essential uncontrolled. What this results in is a feeding inconsistency, the top and bottom do not move at the same rate, but since they are sewn together a pucker forms.

Without a folder this can be alleviated, but with a folder attached the top layer cannot move anywhere to flatten out the pucker, since it is wedged between the foot and the folder, which results in the roped hem. Technically this is considering a sewing defect, which is why new machines do not produce as noticeable a pucker on the hem, and why jeans made in large factories do not exhibit roped hems.

Essentially the 43200G went out of production in 1987 because of this and other issues. The 63900 Lock-stitch hemmer is much better suited for production and that is why it is the dominant hemming machine in production sewing. 43200G machines are now sought out because they when equipped with a folder create a roped hem which is reminiscent of pants from a bygone era.

To illustrate this I have included a video of a 43200G sewing without a folder and you will see NO roping.

Also to a slight degree natural fiber threads when they shrink will do so at a different rate than the denim which can also cause a slight skew, but it is minimal.

Dosa n chutny is good but used to be better. Same for Radha krishna... Lahore Karai is somewhere I have eaten for the past 15 years and still I order the same thing. I even ate there the night my son was born at St George's haha.

The Antelope is a great pub, became favorite over the selkirk when it opened, but do you remember what the place was like before?

And how about Harringtons?

another good place to eat there is the portuguese cafe in the market. ace chicken and good tarts.

Yeah, I like the Selkirk and The Antelope. Even Soho House are getting in on the action – opening one of their Chickenshops by Tooting Broadway.

 

Still not tried Spice Village or Dosa n' Chutney.

I think I need to get my ass down to Tooting.
