I had the honour of copyediting this. Andrew is one of the most singular non-fiction voices around. Writes and thinks like no-one else.

I got this in hardback and the skill of the writing suggests it was done and redone and rewritten but the energy of the prose says it was spewed out on cheap speed. Amazing. Would recommend.

A podcast was - and should still be - an enthusiast driven audio forum; a hand written fanzine about your favourite band or team printed after hours on the school photocopier. Not a celebrity fronted marketing exercise recycling an already successful TV show with one eye on a Netflix special. Fin.

There's lots of things great about living in Scotland, free prescriptions and free uni for example. But by far the best is having tattie scones on a fry up and readily available in supermarkets

If you want an evening that will constantly keep you guessing to the end of who has the upper hand, who is going to live to the end as well as a both dark and witty feel; then do come along and support this show for the opening of the 50th Season at the Edward Alderton.

This was something we said again and again in interviews and talks about the Ladybird books. When you give a child something made carefully and skilfully, they feel it. A treat. “For me?” We all remember that feeling. When you give a child something half-arsed, you tell them they don’t matter.

This is a cracking book which gives you an insight into the mind of someone who is swept up with a toxic man who works in comedy, but could be your boss, brother or husband. Excellent first novel by @jnraeside.bsky.social

1971. Berlin. Germany's most controversial actor returns with a performance about Jesus Christ. As the crowd turn on him, it's very nearly his last. Meanwhile 50 years later a housebound writer becomes fixated with footage of Klaus Kinski at his most manic. October 2025. tinyurl.com/45jss3hs

Books read in May. Birding is a stunning novel. Monsters is a thought provoking look at difficult artists. Another Planet is a great memoir. And despite not being my taste in music Reach for the Stars is a really fun well written read.

dickgrant.bsky.social @dickgrant.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

A compassionate, empathetic thoughtful novel. Focussing on unique yet recognisable characters. You might walk by them in the street and wonder... "What's their story?" @regretteruane.bsky.social will tell you. One of my favourite books I've read in a long time.

April reads. Erotic Vagrancy was brilliant, The Marriage Portrait was a fantastic read, and The End of Reality confirms your wildest fears.

I was so blown away by Macca on Thursday. I'm surprised to find that the song that's on a loop in my head is My Valentine. What a beautiful song! What a gift for melody he has.
