Who would live in a house like this...

Gilles Peterson shows us around

Anyone with 'a thing' about mess please look away now. To coincide with his In The House Compilation on Defected, a camera was sent around to bother Peterson into a grand tour of his diggs so Gilles shows us around the Browswood studios (aka, his gaf).

Known for having a passing interest in music, Gilles has been collecting vinyl for quite some tiome and with his Worldwide show on BBC Radio 1, he has been getting sent plenty of the stuff too.
Yes you guessed it, every available space has vinyl stuffed into it. room after room, corner after corner full of the stuff. If his house was to go on fire it would burn for weeks leaving a giant plastic ashtray as remains.

An aficionado if ever there was one, its always interesting to see how well known music freaks handle their collections and as an added bonus we get to see where he records his Worldwide show from too.

Have a gander...

    he's right about most modern vinyl being disposable,
