In response to the Finders Keepers/Twisted Nerve/Bird/Battered Ormnaments stock loss in the PIAS warehouse fires caused by rioting on August 8th a few of our close label mates have come together to compile some of their favourite moments from the Finders Keepers family discography. A series of limited edition CD and MP3 compilations curated by the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Demdike Stare, David Holmes and Gruff Rhys including some exclusive and unreleased tracks, are now ready to order directly from the website and like minded retailers in a bid to ease us back onto our feet releasing phantastic obscure and obsolete music as soon as possible.

Music is what I need to keep my sanity.

I play the piano and ride bikes. Keepin' it simple.

"My philosophy is fundamentally sad, but I’m not a sad man, and I don’t believe I sadden anyone else. In other words, the fact that I don’t put my philosophy into practice saves me from its evil spell, or, rather, my faith in the human race is stronger then my intellectual analysis of it; there lies the fountain of youth in which my heart is continually bathing." – Machado

I'm terrible at introductions... but I'm pretty good at making playlists. So for my lack of typing up a witty and quirky bio about myself, I'll let my mixes speak for me.

Ask the spiders about me, they can tell you everything. They're every where, though they are also silent, so perhaps you won't learn much.

I have the most eclectic taste in music you can find, yet my heart will always be with classic rock; the rest are just affairs; and my love for The Beatles is a little scary. I like to play any instrument I can get my hands on and have jam sessions with the tribe. The world is too beautiful to go unseen, and I do not plan on letting it go to waste. I kind of just make it up as I go along and that's the way I plan on keeping it.
