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.

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

what you hold, holds you "You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me." -C.S. Lewis

~Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ ~I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.~ ~I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.~ ~I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty. ~ ~Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.~ ^^ ~Edgar Allan Poe~ ^^ I have a hard time saying things in my own words. My language is music and poetry. It finds my voice, even when I can't find it myself.

I'm a girl who likes music. What can I say?

Being on the road waiting for a ride, not really knowing the final arrival time, has become for me completely restoring. I've made several small trips to and fro and fro and to and each trip, my time on the road is both exciting and calming. My "plan" is to travel around the world, seeing what I see, working where I work, and sleeping where I sleep. But, as I'm sure all of us (myself included) will find, "plans" change. One person has summed up for me greatly how I feel about this time I will be spending.... Music helps me survive these times of being alone, when I'm on the road with nowhere to go. I play guitar and have dabbled in various other instruments such as piano, trumpet, clarinet, and cello. It is that release of emotion, that ecstatic, out-of-body feeling of movement, that spiritual connection, that hand to hold when needed, thought-invoking everything. "I travel not to go anywhere, but to go; I travel for travel's sake; the Great Affair, is to move." Robert Louis Stevenson (Travels with a Donkey)
