Alle – Dine Pæne Øjne
2017
A wonderful record that I got introduced to in the most perfect way, pure right place, right time magic.
There was a lot I wanted to squeeze into my six nights in Copenhagen, and high on the list was a visit to Bird, an audio bar just a 10 minute walk from where I was staying. The DJ lineups from Thursday to Sunday looked great, so I decided to check it out on Thursday night.
That evening, Dingo Tracks and Daniel Ellow were playing. Both were spinning some seriously good stuff, and after Dingo came over to introduce himself, we got chatting. It was clear both of them were proper heads so what better people to ask “What Danish records should I be on the lookout for?”
Without hesitation, Ash (Dingo Tracks) pulled Dine Pæne Øjne straight from his record bag. Daniel had brought his copy too, full seal of approval from both. They warned me it could be tricky to find and a bit pricey, but I snapped a photo of the sleeve and hoped I might stumble on it one day.
The next night, on Dingo’s recommendation, I headed over to Bird’s second venue on Palægade 8 to catch Christian d’Or. From start to finish, his set was absolutely top-tier,
every track was quality and almost all unfamiliar to me. And yep, tucked in his record bag too: Dine Pæne Øjne.
That sealed it, I had to get this record. A few days later, I bit the bullet and picked up a copy on Discogs. It wasn’t cheap, but it’s been on heavy rotation ever since. Totally worth it.
A brilliant record, and such a memorable way to discover it thanks to some great people in a great city.

So what is the deal with Denmark and good old balearic records? Seems like it is a sound that does well there.

I’ve noticed recently that Juno have started upping the prices of records if left in the basket overnight. Anyone else noticed this? Was gonna place an order this morning but feeling like I should buy from someone else now

Talking of Juno, this just arrived. Completely forgot that I’d pre-ordered it months ago.

I’ve definitely seen this happen a few times.
How strange. I’ve not noticed myself. I’ll keep an eye on it.
I usually add a few things to my cart at the beginning of the week, listen to the sound clips for a few days, then purchase what I like at the end.
You reckon they’re charging you for keeping things in your basket, or just increasing the prices post release?

Surge pricing!
So I had the new Cantoma 7 in my basket it was £10 ish and the next day I went on to place my order and it had went up to £14.75. Almost a 50% increase ha. Stuff that
They also increased the price of the new Lexx album but it was the last one in stock and I couldn’t find it anywhere else in the UK so just took the hit with that one but it’s definitely something for you all to keep an eye on

Just checked my order history there and I only paid £31 for that one
That’s shocking, no justification for that
And with that I think I’m officially done with regularly buying records. Had a bit of a spiritual awakening these past few weeks and come to the realisation that chasing the latest thing whether that be new records, clothes, material things in general is no longer giving me the joy I once thought it did. I started to feel as though I’m just buying things to fill the void of emptiness but it was actually making me even more empty and anxious. The things we own really do end up owning us. Anyways on a more positive note it’s time to let go of the collector mentality and start enjoying what I already have!
