The power of memory

Heather remembers the first time we saw this video of the Pogues‘ Fairy Tale of New York: Christmas 1987. She was sitting in a cane and burnt red suede wishbone rocking chair she’d made herself – not sitting in it, sitting on the very edge of it,  transfixed by the music and the video – the wrenching sadness and the lilt and love of the song. We already knew the Pogues, having thrashed Rum, Sodomy and The Lash (yeah, sounds dodgy, but listen to it) for a couple of years. Every time we think of Shane MacGowan we hope he’s OK. He’s given us some magic hours.

All the very best for the holidays from Ian and Heather

PS I haven’t thought of that cane chair for years. Heather can’t remember what happened to it. But she also remember jigging on the edge of it watching Australia win the America’s Cup in 1983.

PPS I don’t think we’ve seen this video since 1987. Thank you YouTube and the times we live in.

    We’re working hard on systems to make designing, ordering and printing your albums easier. 

    The latest thing we’ve done is commission PJ to add some features to Remix just for us. They’re in the latest final release – v1.2 – and they’re awesome:

    • “Smart filtering” to avoid invalid selections when you order an album.
    • A simpler version of LabFTP to use with Remix – no asking dumb questions when PJ already knows the answers.
    • Dramatically better handling of Duo albums (here’s a movie, but really, it’s so simple you probably don’t need it).
    • Remix now handles “cut-in” apertures!
    • And we also love the dramatically improved, more intuitive alignment tools and reports.

    Not as exciting as Britney’s comeback tour maybe, but they‘ll help ensure your album designs and orders are “right first time”.

    Smooth sailing, Ian

    Is this a marketing lesson or a metaphor for what you offer your clients?

    I saw it on brandstory.

    Cheers, Ian
