Good morning everyone. The 3rd issue of my IN THE APRIL SUN indie pop fanzine is now on sale. I have stock in hand so will be posting out right away. It's a beautiful issue, so do share/grab one. It has some lovely stuff in it; Heavenly, the Lemonheads, Chime School, The Felt Tips & much more.

Spent all morning thinking of something a Kurdish refugee who owned a kebab shop in Austria said to us during the Transcontinental Race
"We all live under the same roof"
Finished reading @horatioclare.bsky.social We Came By Sea this morning. As beautifully & thoughtfully written as all his other books. At times saddening and rage inducing and feelings of helplessness but ultimately optimistic and hopeful and wanting to do something more.

messing around with a scan of an old monochrome linocut test print with a view to making it into a multicolour screenprint

Went to see Pete Fij last night at the Albert. A couple of technical glitches it was very good and suitably fuzzy. Lots of new stuff and a couple of Adorable bits. There was a new song maybe about views from trains with some lovely imagery in the lyrics.

Plus it's got the original version of Sit Down which I always preferred to the re-recorded hit version but only ever had on tape which I lost years ago.

The first half of the first CD of this is taking me back to the mid-late 80s & being turned onto James by one of the cool kids that I worked alongside on the after school evening shift at Camberley Sainos

Up in the big smoke (drizzle) yesterday to see the Tortoise matinee show at the Barbican. They were very good and there was time for pint afterwards and still home before 7. I'm only going to afternoon shows in London from now on. None of that it's gonna take three hours last train home nonsense.

Some favourite Sussex lanes looking mighty fine in the slanting autumn sunlight.
Stopped to have a look in All Saints Church in Highbrook which is a beauty, added to the 'zine list.
Sorry to hear about your mum. That is a lovely wonderful thing your parents did.

The ten Felt albums are available on Bandcamp.
For those following the saga of Lawrence messing with his back catalogue, "Ignite the seven cannons" is the remix while "The Pictorial Jackson Review" reverts to the original track listing of eight songs and two instrumentals.

Read this in an email. It’s as much about any physical media as it is about books.
There's something of early James about this too, could be off Stutter. 'tis lovely.
