Bought this on tape and I don’t think it left my Walkman for the whole of my 20th year.

Listened to the Flipper album today for the first time (I think) since I was a teenager. It’s every bit as good now as it was then.

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule Protest group’s co-founder wins legal challenge against decision to proscribe it under anti-terrorism laws

Finally some sense. Maybe the government needs to hold a seminar to remind themselves what it means to be a free, tolerant, society.

Magnesium citrate with a bit of honey and lemon (and hot water) is a great bedtime drink which will have you sleeping like a proverbial baby.

I once left Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot on a train and have never replaced and thus finished it. I had to return Omensetter’s Luck to the library because I was leaving the country. Never got a copy, so never finished it. This is the year of mopping up dropped classics.

There’s something very BC/R&S about Hard Wax descriptions. Utterly minimal but utterly precise.

Unfurling, by Pefkin 6 track album

First discovery of February. Engulfing, mesmerising drones and voices. Beautiful.

If your friend is a bloke, I’d highly recommend getting a shave. There is an awesome place on Pertevpasa Sok in Sultanahmet.

Eventually watched Christopher Andrews’ Bring Them Down and my big take away is that Paul Ready, who plays Kevin in Motherland, is a phenomenally good actor. I’m struggling to reconcile those two roles to the same body.

I do wonder who a Freud-is-a-bad-man play is aimed at.

Jackals - Summerhall Arts Based on astounding true events, Jackals is a contemporary retelling of the bewildering professional relationship between a young, ambitious woman and her fledgling doctor with a point to prove.

β€œOn a sunny afternoon in Vienna, Emma Eckstein went to see a doctor. You won’t have heard of her.” Erm, unless you’re familiar with psychoanalysis, in which case you probably have.

"Centenarian who 'believes in cream cakes' to celebrate 103rd birthday"

Why does this read like cream cakes don't actually exist?

So Research Gate allows me to request someone’s article but, when they send it to me, it won’t let me say thanks because they don’t follow me.
