Saw this on boing² a while back but hadn't got 'round to blogging it: a London-based DJ troupe who spin 78s on gramophones, the Shellac Sisters. There's not much content on their website (a bit more at the Shellac Sisters myspace page) but it's still a cool enough idea that I wanted to pass it along. I wonder how many gramophones they have. And how hard is it to find someone to fix a gramophone these days. I did read recently that the best way to clean old 78s is with soapy water. Apparently, the last thing you want to use is the kinds of cleaning fluid sold for vinyl LPs as it can dissolve the shellac on 78s.
