I am just popping in to say that I just read a preview copy of Luckenbooth by Jenni Fagan. Her first book, The Panopticon, was completely brilliant.
Luckenbooth is an out and out masterpiece. As demented as as […]

I have a second hand George Michael story.
Some years ago I took a Christmas job in Selfridges in London and I had to do a training day in which we were all taught the “values” of Selfridges. It was as awful as […]

… this charming ditty called “Boris Johnson Is A Fucking Cunt” by The Kunts.
Now obviously I abhor the very thought that childish filth like this could ever get to number one at Christmastime, because some […]

FICTION
Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann is the best new novel I read this year. It’s a mix of historical fiction and traditional German folk tale set during the 30 years war. If Hillary Mantel did fairy tales it would […]

Yeah, but I mean something involving singing. Something as simple as them doing “Silent Night.”
Shit, The Unthanks, a Gospel Choir, someone like Adele doing “Away In A Manger.” I am literally convinced that […]

I am extremely serious here. Rachel and Becky would be absolutely brilliant at singing old traditional winter songs, I bet they could get really decent and probably surprising guests and I bet it would be lovely. […]

I had not a clue that The Fall once collaborated with Coldcut.
I also had not a clue that the tune is ruddy ace.
Any other brilliant weird collaborations I should know about? -

UPDATE FOLKS!
Today I finally had enough time to listen to it. The offspring were at school, I was in the house doing a ton of tidying so I listened to it on my headphones. I actually have it on again now. So […]

That is a good description of something I have never heard if that makes sense? At some point, in the next few days, when I get an hour’s peace, I will put it on and report back… Consider me persuaded.

It seems that twenty years ago today Radiohead’s “Kid A” came out.
This is an album that I deliberately ignored when it came out because Thom Yorke was at the height of his “I don’t want to be famous” whining […] -

I wish I had more than “Ah Bollocks” to offer. Sadly the more I loved folks the less I have to say. This is not a criticism. In this wee spot, I don’t want to take up space. Phil, you were a nice guy, we will miss […]
