Scarfolk Council: a blog

A little off the musical radar, just came across this very amusing blog, or faux-blog, produced by Scarfolk Council. Here's the blurb :

Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay." For more information please reread.

Scarfolk is a marvellous yet rather unsettling politically-incorrect alternative world. Something like what would've happned if we'd never had punk rock or Thatcher or any of that rubbish. It's Life On Mars, but worse..  here are a few publications available..:
