Hi Jack, sorry for the sluggish response, I'm not dropping in here that often. I would suggest contacting John Rimmer via pelicanist.blogspot.com - he might have news of Kevin. His work was hugely valuable to the research field back in the 1990s.

A fantastic obituary by Cathi Unsworth, for the legend Roger Burton, who left us just over a week ago. Without Roger and the Horse Hospital there may never have been a Strange Attractor... www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

This is an engaging, important, and ultimately terrifying book – really can't wait to get it out into the world this autumn...

Also Sasquatch Sunset is one of the funniest, boldest and most beautiful films of recent years.

Well this is certainly the most remarkable thing I've seen in a while, thank you @nothingistrue.net I did check and sadly there is only the one song, but frankly I'm not sure if the world was ready for any more... www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-8T...

Next Tuesday I'm hosting a zoom presentation by Greg Eghigian, looking back at the alien abduction panic of the 1980s and 1990s. Greg's book 'After The Flying Saucers Came', published by OUP last year, has become the essential history of the UFO story. thelasttuesdaysociety.org/event/alien-...

Thank you! I've been giving variations on this presentation for a decade now, and may retire it after this one. We at @strangeattractor.bsky.social will be publishing Ethan Doyle White's excellent book on the subject, Pale Hecate's Offerings, next year and I can pass the mantle on to him.

Hey thank you, so did I! We’re lucky to have wise heads like Tanner focussed on this complex, confounding material.

Very excited to be taking Teleplasmiste to Brighton in June for Séance for the Summer, alongside these other fantastic performers. We're also playing Acid Horse on 24 May. We're up for doing more gigs, so do shout if you'd like us to entrance your event...

The AAA's aims and actions have never felt more prescient. I wish I could make this - but hopefully some of you can. I have fond memories of astronaut training with fellow travellers on Parliament Hill, and facilitating one of their closing sessions at the 1999 Fortean Times Unconvention.
