Haha Freudian slip there. I of course meant ‘electric fan’ 😂 or did I?

What a cool and inspiring read. The Gen X demographic rock on so many levels. The recent anti-trans shift is just one more obstacle to overcome and I’ve no doubt they will overcome with bravery, wit and panache. More power to these fabulous individuals

You know that feeling when you accidentally win a Dusty Springfield single on eBay for a bargain price compared to the going rate on Discogs? Haha well that what I’m feeling today. #Dusty #NorthernSoul #Spooky

Great read from the intro of Albion Dreaming which details the British experience of LSD from its early days through the 60s and 70s Not read it myself but this has certainly whetted my whistle for the book and some LSD 🤓 psychedelicpress.substack.com/p/glad-i-too...

Oblique Strategies I’m shit at stats but my wife drew a card, returned it to the deck, which I shuffled, and then drew the same card. Not sure how many cards are in the deck but if 60, is the stat 1 in 60x60? So 1 in 3600?

I’ll never forget the time I got hold of Sky Saxon’s hand while he was singing & wouldn’t let go till I got my photo haha Or the time we got backstage in Manchester, he flirted mercilessly with our partners then got picked up by my mate and carried around in a celebratory hug haha what a guy

This is without a doubt one of the most sinister & beautiful psych albums made. Once you know a little about the proclivities of Marlarkey it makes As The World Rises & Falls even darker in its malignant beauty

Talking of folklore and folk horror, does anyone dig the folk-infected beauty of medievally-dressed Circulus? Another band that gets little reward for their incredible output. youtu.be/Yi7Sub9XHio?...

Hmmm, that’s a difficult ask as his output is so massive. My personal favourite is The City in the Autumn Stars but that’s 2nd in a series (although can be read as a standalone). The 1st in the series is The War Hound and the World’s Pain so maybe start there as that’s great too.

I love this so much. I’ve read it caused quite a stir for Noel Coward at the time so I guess a sense of humour is perhaps understandably lost a bit during war youtu.be/wveW9Tw2JKE?...

I used to be such an absolutist back in the 80s Having already read Moorcock & Amis i dismissed Ackroyd as an also ran and Moore as a Johnny-come-lately. Thank goodness I opened out onto excellence rather than stuck into my rut

Great stuff but I’ve just gone thru your catalogue & I’ve got to say that you are so missing a trick by not putting out the boxsets on vinyl

100% agree. Their outrage at the embedding of known Nazis criminals into the CIA & military-industrial complex is palpable. As a GenX-er I knew a some of this stuff but I’m hoping the newer generations are picking up on this. It explains a lot about recent trends in Western society.

Yeah me too and just within the last week or so. I dig these guys so much and all the effort they put in. I felt like a cheap bastard sucking up all that good content with zero support.
