No! I’ll definitely be having some of that - cheers!

A brilliant album, and one that you don’t hear talked about much these days.

Among the greatest books about music ever written (and some of the others were by Jon, too...).

If you loved 'High Fidelity' and 'One Day', you'll fall head over heels for 'End of a Century' ... a very 90s love story! Join Des and Poppy as their mission to return a 30-year-old love letter takes them from Glasgow to Camden – and closer to one another... www.amazon.co.uk/End-Century-... #BookSky

For those of us of a certain age, this is an entirely understandable response. :)

Is it just me, or has America's meltdown reached some kind of frenzied peak of mania over the last few days?

My author's proof copies of 'End of a Century' in a lovely new @gailmyerscough.co.uk-designed cover have just arrived, and don't they look gorgeous? The hardback, in particular, is a thing of absolute beauty. Treat yourself ... and everyone you know! www.amazon.co.uk/End-Century-... #BookSky

Two super-stylish copies of 'End of a Century'.

Sad news reaches us of the death of Lois Kahlert, who with her husband Dennis were immortalised as two of the most devoted superfans in the history of alternative music. In 2020, Adele Stripe paid homage to a film about the pair that understood their fandom like no other. buff.ly/5PQN9Yf

If we looked closely enough, most of would turn out not to be 'culturally British' by Jenrick's standards. That's the thing with these guys – the 'us' in their 'us vs them' is a much more exclusive club than their supporters ever realise.

The new Lambchop album, 'Punching the Clown' is so good it's sent me back to listen to every Lambchop album, in order. I've discovered I missed a whole entire Lambchop album, 2022's 'The Bible', which I was sure I had, but can't find anywhere in my stacks of CDs. Anyway, Lambchop are awesome.

Pure barbarism. The ultimate goal is to eradicate compassion and decency, so that no one will even think to oppose their self-serving greed and cruelty.

I’ll get you one - I can get them cheaper.

(Obviously, yours won't have the 'not for resale' sash across its midriff. Unless you really want one.)

An exquisite autumnal Puffin Post cover by Jill McDonald. Always love the way her illustrations feel like encountering an animation paused mid-frame & how the delightful madcap motion & sublime screwball astmosphere is always pleasingly spiced with the surreal, edged with something a little darker

The colourful cartoon cover of a 1976 puffin post magazine featuring cosily woolen wearing puffins gambolling on green grass under giant falling autumn leaves in pink orange gold and brown with the title Puffin Post in red letters outlined in black in the top right corner with a pale blue grey sky as the background

Thanks! Luckily, the windscreen took a big crack, but held together.

If I'd hung about, I might've got a bowl of Frosties as well.

Driving along the motorway minding my own business when I spot an object in the sky, spinning end-over-tip towards me. It appears to be an airborne metal spoon. A second later, it has struck and cracked the windscreen with a hideous metallic clank. New windscreen required. Thanks, spoon.

Agreed! I fiddled with my nine choices for ages - Madness, Miles Davis and Bim Sherman were all on there at various stages, too.

Couldn’t decide between that one and ‘Treasure’, but ‘Victorialand’ won in the end.
