An honour to interview Space Afrika for the new cover of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social. Read if you’re interested in what Ryan Martin calls the ‘quantum entanglement’ between NYC and UK undergrounds; the legacy of hauntology; The White Hotel and The Black Lights; and SA's luminous LP Quiet Storm.

This year I've noticed high fashion piggybacking on experimental cultures that are much more precarious and amorphous than it. Is this new? What effect does it have? Is it even a problem? Attempted to answer these questions in this short end-of-year essay for @thewiremagazine.bsky.social

This is both correct, and not radical enough: we should ban 99% of all privately-owned cars from inner cities. Blue badge holders, emergency services, finite number of permits for commercial deliveries, buses, bikes, and that’s it. No able-bodied person in Zone 1 actually needs a Land Rover, sorry.

This 1990s anime’s ability to capture the mood of America 2025 is uncanny

A sad old man hunched over his drink in a bar. The subtitle reads “This era has lasted a century, and so I thought it would go on forever.”

The men at the bar listen as the old man continues, “but when you think about it, there’s no basis for that at all”

Desiring truth Virginia Woolf, ‘Monday or Tuesday’

Monday or Tuesday
Lazy and indifferent, shaking space easily from his wings, knowing his way, the heron passes over the church beneath the sky. White and distant, absorbed in itself, endlessly the sky covers and uncovers, moves and remains. A lake? Blot the shores of it out! A mountain? Oh, perfect - the sun gold on its slopes. Down that falls. Ferns then, or white feathers, for ever and ever -
Desiring truth, awaiting it, laboriously distilling a few words, for ever desiring - (a cry starts to the left, another to the right. Wheels strike divergently. Omnibuses conglomerate in conflict) - for ever desiring - (the clock asseverates with twelve distinct strokes that it is midday;' light sheds gold scales; children swarm) - for ever desiring truth. Red is the dome; coins hang on the trees; smoke trails from the chimneys; bark, shout, cry 'Iron for sale' - and truth?
Radiating to a point men's feet and women's feet, black or gold-encrusted - (This foggy weather - Sugar? No, thank you - The commonwealth of the future) - the firelight darting and making the room red, save for the black figures and their bright eyes, while outside a van discharges, Miss Thingummy drinks tea at her desk, and plate-glass preserves fur coats -
Flaunted, leaf-light, drifting at corners, blown across the wheels, silver-splashed, home or not home, gathered, scattered, squandered in separate scales, swept up, down, torn, sunk, assembled - and truth?
Now to recollect by the fireside on the white square of marble. From ivory depths words rising shed their blackness, blossom and penetrate.
Fallen the book; in the flame, in the smoke, in the momentary sparks - or now voyaging, the marble square pendant, minarets beneath and the Indian seas, while space rushes blue and stars glint - truth? or now, content with closeness?
Lazy and indifferent the heron returns; the sky veils her stars; then bares them.

Neil Kulkarni left us a year ago. He ripped through the music press like a benevolent hurricane, laid waste to monumental mediocrities but never punched down. He was fired by a raging sense of inclusivity, the belief that things could, should be so much radically better for everyone. Sorely missed.
