    Mrs Tsk * The next day I dropped by Forever. It reminds me of (now-no-more) Tokyo store Zest: Satoru has concentrated on Krautrock and “Electric Pop” rather than él Records and Loungecore, but the location and feel of the store (with various maid businesses downstairs) reminded me of how Zest felt. Satoru rewarded me for my visit with a huge stack of free 45rpms. He’d read that Kazmi (ex-Nelories) had lent me her orange National SF-338, and was keen to give me vinyl to play on it.
