It's a pretty sick story...violent, depraved, perverted even.

I think reading Dora Suarez might have fed into my horrific, X-rated Drake & Dog story (unpublished).

There was also our 24-page collaborative Fast Fiction epic, "The Elephant of Surprise" from 1985. The reason it took several months was partly due to it being done through the Royal Mail. We each did two successive pages.

These A5 "Sisterson" comics abounded in the 1990s. I associate them with Mooncat and Caption. They did successive panels rather than pages.
Apparently Barry Sisterson was a comics tutor who suggested the format, simply to encourage collaborations. His students went a bit overboard!
Ever since Record Store Day, this tremendous glut of vinyl "reissues" seems to have set a new benchmark for what constitutes an original pressing. For some dealers, "first pressing" seems to mean anything before 2008.

I am delighted by this insightful and considered review of the new Wilberforce comic. Many thanks to Ben Williams of Comic Book news UK. He has correctly recognised the importance of dreams in my work.

Soon after this scene, terrified citizens panic-buying in supermarkets. "Get the batteries!!" they scream desperately. That part always upset me.

Tonight's spin, disc one of "The Alchemist of Pop". Very strong comp by Bob Stanley and Roger Dopson. Some songs reminded me of Morricone's "western" pop songs that got remade into Leone soundtracks. Maybe it's the "operatic" backing vocals and bright orchestras.

Windy Wilberforce leaves his Hotel in the Land of the Jackanapes. He feels small and alone. Around him the strange Jackanapes animals regard him strangely.
Just a reminder that the new Wilberforce comic was published last week. Don't like to blow my own trombone, but I'm very pleased with this panel. Multiple picture planes!

Well, not quite a solo record, but it's still tremendous. Guro Skumsnes Moe just absolutely rocks the octabass!

Charity shop find of the day, £1.99 for this nice piece of contemporary classical music from 1984 on Hyperion. Inside, found a leaflet for the Robert Simpson Society (£5 annual membership!). Cover's a bit scuffed, but plays beautifully. "Grave, Molto Intensivo" indeed.

TSP Radio is back on the air tomorrow afternoon on @resonancefm.bsky.social . Tune in for a fine selection of Autumnal rousselments, as I concoct my 15th prog-rock show. The usual suspects from RCA Neon LPs...I can't help spinning them every September.

Current listening, the 1981 debut LP by Los Microwaves. Synth-new-wave band from San Francisco. One to file alongside The Human Switchboard perhaps. Can't say it's a "lost gem", but the squiggly synths and compressed drums are "of the time". Meg Brazill's mannered vox also v. good.
