Would definitely have liked to see some more FTB. Looking forward to your take on Rogue though.

The audio quality of your recording set up made the word β€˜baboon’ sound magnificent. Also, great great episode.

Yeah, I don’t think they’re still active. Seem to remember some of them had other projects on the go? I saw them supporting Rob Crow at Stereo and Mr Crow was digging them himself. They were just genuinely off the wall and unusual! Still annoyed I missed out on a physical copy of the album.

Horrified by news of our friend & fellow bookseller Mahmoud being arrested by Israeli forces alongside his nephew.

A tireless campaigner for the power of literature, Mahmoud was in Edinburgh with us just months ago - please join call for their release!

There’s loads of good Gilbert stuff but I have to admit I find some of his most recent work somewhat baffling. He’s clearly following his very unique muse and there is some wild, weird and enjoyable stuff but I do miss the Palomar era, which is just gold. Anyway, enjoy!

The Love Bunglers is SO good. New collection from Jaime is out very soon - this month or next!

That’s a shame, it’s terrific; a surreal and tense adventure
with great characters.

Looking forward to Full Tilt Boogie 3 starting this week by the way!

The Motherless Oven by Rob Davis. Wild and captivating, can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

I have taken
the resources
that were in
the budget

and which
you were probably
saving
for higher education

Forgive me
they were needed
to feed the AI bubble
and to dismantle the humanities

Tori Amos on trauma, Trump and Neil Gaiman: β€˜It’s a heartbreaking grief’ The musician is back with a live album and as passionate as ever. She discusses fans, failure, muses, misogyny – and why she won’t tolerate bad behaviour

She spoke about it here.

When the minutiae of all our lives have been digitally catalogued for decades, with the detail available for exploitation by any old media oligarch with a hard-on for power, it's hardly surprising that naturally self-serving, inevitably vulnerable politicians are backed-down with scarce a whimper.

It’ll be grand! Unrelated but a friend just asked me to send this on to you:

Please pass on the message that me and my sister torment each other and my parents with his Christmas songs. He enables me to do what I do best at this time of year. Trolling.

Fingers crossed! This one has kind of elevated the strip in my opinion.

I’ve really been enjoying this Rogue series Patrick. Looking forward to the final part and hoping there will be more to come. You’ve done a fantastic job!
