We Need Diverse Books

If you preorder a copy of Crime Ink: Iconic or buy a copy of The Get Off from an independent bookstore of your choice and email me your receipt dated between April 26 and May 3, I’ll donate 5 bucks to We Need Diverse Books. www.diversebooks.org

Haha. I'll be sure to quote that underneath any future Bolton News features (amongst all the inevitable racism and complaints about redevelopment).

I hope you aren't going to blank me next time I see you on the street as a result of this stardom.

Boozed up and luxuriating in this mostly & unjustly lost tune. The language of post punk turned lascivious. Full to the brim with lust, sweat, love and desire. youtu.be/JSEdvoKtBm8?...

Excellent. Fingers crossed for a combo of scenes reminiscent of 'Beyond The Valley of the Dolls', the bit with the elephant at the end of 'The Party' and a night with Ena, Martha and Minnie in the snug at The Rovers.

Good stuff. Is it fondue and babycham for the opening?

cop in The Wicker Man (leaving unharmed because he slept with that hot blonde): what a strange, sexy island

Listening to some Banshees records and 'The Last Beat Of My Heart' is a) still an absolutely gorgeous song but b) 'In the sharp gust of love...' is a Viz worthy opening line. Fair play to Siouxsie for beautifully delivering that stinker.

What a sad & pathetic individual. No doubt you have a double advantage over them in having a life which includes such lovely moments & also being able to appreciate them. So congratulations to you & yours & sod the loser, who can get blocked.

Catching up on the news and, alongside the obvious lunacy & horror, again stuck by how many people with far too much money dress like absolute crap these days. Bad enough everything going down the bog, but a rich moron who can't even sort out a suit which fits flushing it is downright insulting.

Toying with the idea of celebrating him by going on a cold blooded murder spree in my hometown, but will probably settle for wearing a decent shirt.

Oh aye. Should have come with a free pair of leopard print dancing shoes.

Well, well. Looks like I'm off work. youtu.be/adCAH4SKNjI?...

YouTube video by SPianista Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues (Live 2025)

Extremely moving and recent video of Tom Waits singing
one of my fave songs of his. Tom represents for me everything that is great about America and will be again RS

Damn. I was hoping for 'Maggot Brain'.

Congratulations, mate. (Does the fashion thing relate to y-fronts? I'm due a refresh.)

Both exemplary comps. To this day I'm periodically overcome by a burning desire to vamp about to 'House of Glass' by the Glass Family. In fact.....

I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment.
Take a look at my wares and please retweet.

Thanks!

“Oh my GOD the cast we’ve assembled for this film! Peter Gallagher! John Lithgow! Frances McDormand! Top shelf! We need a title that befits their level of respect!”

“Don’t worry, it’s covered.”

Hi everyone! If hearing about great books is your thing, then join us to discover more about all the exciting reads from British Library Publishing.

Haven't read that one, but looking it up, looks pitch black & well worth searching out. Gifford recommendation definitely a tick for me.

Sadly that one charted lower than 'Now That's What 'I' Call Wimmin'.

Looking at various hot takes on here from over the last few grim days, it appears that lots of people watched Game of Thrones and only noticed the nudity, swearing, scrapping and massive dragons.

1 of 2 posts : Sad to hear David Johansen of the New York Dolls has died. Here is a pic that my High School friend Mark Swenson took at The Santa Monica Civic March 16 1974 . Right before my 16th birthday. I was in the seat next to Mark so quite close. (Continued on next post )

Indeed. Working with a couple of blatant credit grifter acts, it's no wonder Bonham hit the drums so hard. Exorcising the guilt.

I definitely go with Bonnie Dobson. The way it builds, the strings,the pure vocal. Also - nothing to do with quality, but Tim Rose's royalty theft was a pretty lowdown dirty dog act.
