These days the frequencies kick in at around 14 kHz. Those mosquito noise sounds above that just aren’t there anymore. When it comes to those anti-teen congregation devices they install at shopping malls these days, I’ve got nothing to worry about. For the last dozen or so years I’ve been doing the right thing and […]

LOOKING FOR A CERTAIN RATIO: The Last UK Holiday Camp All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival

LOOKING FOR A CERTAIN RATIO: The Last UK Holiday Camp All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival

Shellac know they are performing at a kids’ party and are always ready with the jokes, the hats, the pantomime routines. We in turn are always prepared to be delighted.
