Back in 1975 the children of Scarfolk primary school released their own 45rpm record to commemorate their music teacher Mrs Payne who disappeared in mysterious circumstances. Her body was found encased inside one of the thirteen ancient standing stones just outside Scarfolk.
Proceeds from the sale of the single went toward the building of a new coven and affiliated gift shop.
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.

ReplyDeleteIsn't this a Kate Bush intro?
ReplyDeleteNo. This one is from my very own hands, played on a rickety 19th century Bavarian piano.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Very great. Everything around here is fine, for me.
ReplyDeleteLove it! What an incredible idea here bro! Wheres the T-shirts!
ReplyDeleteThe blind boy playing the drums on the left is me! I escaped from Scarfolk in 1977 by burning down the school hall, and scaling the perimiter fence using old army blankets so that I wouldn't be elctrocuted. The people in the clinic here don't belive me when I tell them about Scarfolk, they say I'm a paranoid schizophrenic and only allow me out once a week. It did really happen didn't it? Tell me it did, please...

DeleteI was 7 in 1975. You have no idea just how real that all sounds. Nostalgia city. Good work that man.
