Kornel Šeper
at Dirty Old Shop
Hiding behind –
The Marble Index
by Nico (1969)
“Twenty years ago, people thought CDs were the future,”
says concert promoter and club supremo Kornel Šeper, 42.
“What’s strange nowadays is that CDs belong to the past and
it’s vinyl that looks set to last.“ Šeper used to blow his school
lunch money on records at the second-hand market that once
took place daily in Zagreb’s Flower Square. It’s in tribute to this
that he now organises record fairs at Močvara
(mochvara.hr)
,
the club he co-founded. “Flower Square was a place where you
could meet people and talk about music. The guys who sold the
records were fans, not businessmen.” Such an ethos also
underpins Dirty Old Shop, where we find Šeper browsing the
racks. One of the city’s most authentic temples to 45’s, punk
entrepreneur Igor Banjanin founded the place after hitchhiking
around Europe and returning home with a rucksack full of records.
