Yes they are terrific and I particularly love how each volume has expanded the narrative. Can’t wait for the next one

Well said. The book is fantastic too

Coincidentally I have just finished re-reading For Esme with Love and Squalor by Salinger. I often re-visit books that I have not read for many years but recently re-read a book within a month of first reading […]

Indeed! I don’t live there any more but get down to 2 or 3 games per season. Hoping for better things next year but preparing to be disappointed again- pretty much like every other year

COYG!! 57 years a green and counting!

Yes Steve I think you have hit the nail squarely on the head. For many fans it’s only ever about your team. I stopped caring about the Premier league years ago and as for the World Cup? Pfft!! Except of course i […]

I live in Taunton and all of the comments are correct

We were with Vodafone for a while but found them generally poor and ended up moving to Plusnet who – touch wood – have been much better

I have a strange relationship with The National- I think in small doses they can be very good but I struggle to sit through a whole album. That said the following tracks would make a cracking E.P. : Slow […]

Also on an iPhone and this has also started happening to me over the last week or so. There was an iPhone update around the same time so maybe that is the culprit?

Genuinely the end of year list that I look forward to more than any other. I am excite!

Just the eleven from me – 1. The Necks – Disquiet 2. Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling, & Andreas Werliin – Ghosted 3 3. Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan – Public Works and Utilities 4. Kara-Lis C […]

I also loved Bee Sting but was completely sold on Prophet Song. You are of course totally correct about The Road, but for me the scenario – post nuclear apocalypse- seems to have been hanging over us for my entire […]

Wonderful review and I can only echo your sentiments- this is a book that seems to become more prescient with every passing week. I would urge anyone with a love of books to read this one

Read: This year the GLW suggested that we run our own Booker prize so when the shortlist was announced she bought all 6 (plus one of the long list that she really wanted but didn’t make the official shortlist) a […]

How about “Boo” from Enter Sandman?

Mystery Song tops both of them

A couple of favourites of mine from the seventies are Jeremiah Johnson, and The Candidate. Haven’t seen either for many years so I hope that they have aged well

Surprised no mention yet of Jamaican/Caribbean music whether it be Toasting or the likes of Linton Kwesi Johnson, Roger Robinson or Anthony Joseph which seems to marry poetry and music with ease

Was just about to post this very song!! (The Kate Rusty one)
