Very cool indie label Full Time Hobby release a special compilation next week, 'Not Doing It For The Quids', to celebrate their fourth year in existence. For the silly price of £1.99, you'll get ten tracks of pure musical goodness.
Full Time Hobby was established in 2004 by Nigel Adams and Wez, inspired by labels such as Elektra, Rough Trade, Domino and Creation, whose 'Doing It For The Kids' compilation title was adapted for their's. However, says Adams, "Creation inspires us less and less as Alan McGee continues to make statements like, 'all record companies are fucking rubbish'. You've had your turn, now let us have a go".
Adams says of the compilation: "We looked back at what we'd released to date and had to admit that we were really pleased with how the label has grown. And we wanted to draw it all together, and celebrate".
