This was fantastic, an absolute joy to read. Funny and heartfelt and wise and kind. There are moments of Portis-like deadpan here that stand as some of my favourite writing of recent times. Outstanding.

A man walks into a bar. It is the bar of lowered expectations. He cannot clear it. He is a bad person.

This is amazing - Bill Orcutt's Louis Louie/Four Organs mash up, live and repetitive and hypnotic and thrilling and beautiful. Outstanding stuff. fakeestates.bandcamp.com/album/four-l...

Other than Loughborough, are there any other examples of words or place names that include two pronunciations of the "ough" sound?

There's a new Gunnhild Øyehaug novel, Here Comes The Sun! She is an amazing writer, responsible for some of my favourite work of the past decade. The new translation is being published in the UK by @pushkinpress.com! ...in November 2027. Gah. Still - something to look forward to at last!

I'm impressed by this year's Booker longlist, which is to say I'd already read a couple of the books and had plans to read five or six others. So tremendous taste shown by the judges there.

I hope this finds you well

An illustration of two hands holding a dowsing rod - in this case it's a good old-fashioned y-shaped stick. The left hand here looks completely wrong, also, like someone has stuck the wrong limb on a Frankenstein. Or maybe for some reason 2 people are holding the stick? Not sure how that would work in terms of water divination success.

Today one of my favourite ever bands, Parts & Labor, released their first album jn 15 years. It's a sprawling double album of utopian noise punk, electronics splattered anthems full of crazed, double drummer rhythms. I love it. This is my favourite track. youtu.be/xJQZoPcI9PQ?...
