Second hand shops are my hot hot sex. Some days living in London is expensive beyond belief so unless you're into five finger discounts or the no-food diet, it's markets, thrift stores and charity shops all the way!! Today I scored a complete bargain in a second hand bookstore on Tottenham Court road; The Taschen '1000 Tattoos' compendium of inked up crazies across the ages for £6 - SIX FREAKIN' POUNDS!! It's almost worth it just for the woman with "No meat on FRIDAY?" tattooed on her jardin de dame alone. So in honour of this treasured find, I have assembled a few tattoo themed tracks for your aural delight!
There's a weird L theme going on here too; I'm slapping a couple of Laura's and some Long Blondes right on your mp3 players hos!
The Long Blondes - Swallow Tattoo
Laura Burhenn - Tattoo
Laura Veirs - Don't Lose Yourself
Disclaimer: Ok, so Don't Lose Yourself isn't really a tattoo themed song, but Miss Veirs does sing "admired your divine tattoos" in a kind of cute way so it's all gravy baby.
I thought you hated stuff that has been touched by possibly dead people.....i didn't know that book was second hand!! xxx
