One of my masters students just gave me this as a thank you for supervising. What an awesome gift! I’m a little emotional right now🥹

Lovely day at eddfest yesterday. My final maiden gig for a while. True to the absent minded prof trope, I managed to be unaware of the @impq.bsky.social Meetup, but bumped into them anyway. A marvellous surprise!

The press want you to believe there are violent protests in Brighton today. Counter protesters outnumbered the Fascists by many thousands. We sang, danced, and waved inflatable bananas and hearts in the name of tolerance and diversity. Fascists not welcome in Brighton.

Publication date looms ever closer ... physical copies exist (at the @sagepub.com London office, I await my own copy with excitement).

A wooden table with two books stacked on top of each other. The bottom book is the hardback edition of Discovering Statistiocs using R and RStudio by Andy Field, on top of it is the paperback edition. the hardback has a blue cover with plain text, the paperback has a he§xagonal pattern and a graphic-novel style female space pirate weirlding a futuristic gun out of which smoke forms the capital letter R.

Very different to last weekend’s musical experience but Courtney Marie Andrews was amazing in Brighton tonight. Great setlist too!❤️

It came with a colouring book. I used to have a toy of this guy and remember crying my eyes out in a cinema as a kid when his battered buddy was destroyed.

A little part of a childhood dream just got full filled, which seems appropriate given the themes in the lyrics.

Stupidly excited to get my copy of this … thanks @darrenhayman.bsky.social

Many of ‘my lot’ will be dusting off their sabbath albums today, but I’m going for this, which came out when I was 13 and I think is a brilliant album. Transports me back in time to a really exciting time in metal music.

Well, that’s my plan for the day fucked. Looks like I won’t be screaming for Glasgow tonight. I tried to do a mini tour with iron maiden over the last 10 days, here’s my travel experiences.

Scream for me Manchester … for me, better than last night in Birmingham.

Not content with making possibly my album of the year, deafheaven have just blown my mind. Incredible. Haven’t seen them for 7 years, forgot what an intense experience it is.

Author copy arrived yesterday. It really was a joy working with @ejwagenmakers.bsky.social and Johnny (is he on here?) on this @jaspstats.bsky.social version of the book.

Discogs is unhelpful but does suggest it’s rare

Prof Andy Field @profandyfield.com · 13/02/2025

@impq.bsky.social is it heresy that I think this album is pretty decent? It ain’t powerslave, but it shits on fear of the dark. This is the worst album cover by a mile though - worse than dance of death. It looks like GCSE art coursework.

After my disappointment at adidas seemingly dropping its vegan trainers lines, I’m happy to have discovered loci. These arrived today … super comfy, and (at face value) an ethical company. Obviously not being paid to write this because no-one would pay a statistician to endorse their clothes.

They also released the live version as a single

Very good …. How about this.

Clearly too easy … I’ll try one of his earlier creations.

Prof Andy Field @profandyfield.com · 10/01/2025

Correct. How about this one … [the green google eye thing is not part of the drawing]

Prof Andy Field @profandyfield.com · 10/01/2025

@impq.bsky.social you want an image round? Ok, a few years back one of my kids went through a phase of drawing me iron maiden artwork (covers and t-shirts). Name the artwork. I’ll start you with an easy one.

So far I stand by my earlier comment. It *is* kinda fun, and maybe not as bad as I remember but also, it’s their worst Halford album by some margin.
