ATOMS FOR PEACE DRAWING ROOM
26 July 2013

The Atomic Drawing Room is now open, in the upstairs room of a pub called The Enterprise, opposite Chalk Farm tube station and just over the way from the Roundhouse, from where this blurry photo was taken.
The Drawing Room is the only record shop in the world to only sell one record, and that record is AMOK by Atoms for Peace. Each track from the record has been pressed onto single-sided 12" vinyl, with artwork engraved on the back, in new hand-screenprinted sleeves. All nine records are also available as a boxed set.
The room is completely covered in black and white artwork, except for a tiny bit of red. There's lots of artwork for sale too, and up on a stage there's live screenprinting of posters and clothing. In the middle of the Drawing Room is a custom-made rug and a pair of armchairs and a chaise longue re-upholstered in Atoms fabric.
It's up there among the most fucking stupid things I've ever done, and my many and humble thanks go to the whole team from XL who have helped to bring this strange mutant creation into the light. Literally.
The Drawing Room is open from 12 noon until 8pm today, Friday 26th July, and also, for those constrained by temporal concerns, between the same hours on Saturday 27th. Be there or be an ungroovy fucker, as Jools Holland once said, causing national hysteria. Oh happy days.
