So @thatwouldbealex.bsky.social and I are attempting to get back to fortnightly (or at least more regular) episodes of Bond & Beyond -- and to kick off, we share our impressions of the recent deep dive into 007 First Light

Had a great time at Develop, with lots of interest & raised eyebrows for VIVA! IP & Licensing, which was awesome to see!

Massive thanks to @cyrusthehermit.bsky.social for his epic Game Dev Heroes T-shirt design, nice little bonus to grab the wallpaper too!

It’s for anyone who ever sat on the floor with Definitely Maybe, Leisure, or The Stone Roses, thinking:

“That could be me.”

Now, with Oasis reunion gigs (finally) happening, it felt right to put this lineup together — 3 records that defined a generation...

When your audiobook ends up in the ears of your old schoolmate @jamieoliveroffical.bsky.social you know it’s doing the rounds in the right kind of kitchens.

“Three and a Half Minutes of Fame” is the story of chasing the dream — even if the dream only lasts the length of the perfect pop song.

A copy of the book 'Three and a Half Minutes of Fame' by Alex Boucher on a wooden table, showing the two CDs, poster, and stickers it arrived with. The sun is casting some nice shadows across the picture. A cup of tea sits nearby, ready to kick start the day.

@thatwouldbealex.bsky.social's book about making music and life in the 90s arrived today with lots of candy! Looking forward to getting into it and dragging up my own memories of early 90s gigs! Or at least, dragging up those bits I can remember. It's quite hazy now.

April/May issue of @mcvdevelop.bsky.social is out! You can check out the digital edition for free here (there's an XDS promo code at the end too BTW) mcvuk.com/digital-libr...

If you’re searching for a holiday book, something that will make you laugh, cry, and yearn for the 90s again, my memoir “Three and a Half Minutes of Fame” ticks all those boxes and is available on all formats! You can’t say fairer than that..
