And if you need another reason why you should stop whatever it is you're doing and buy Latchkey, Wild Twin, Ghost Town, and Delíria, go ahead and read @wildtwin.bsky.social's latest article in Science & Magic 34. It's called "Silence." And it is beautiful. www.violetterecords.com/science-and-...

Liverpool is not a romantic city Henry James, from ‘London’, in ‘English Hours’, published 1876/1905, following his visit in 1869. (P.S Liverpool *is* a romantic city, in my opinion)

The sense of approach was already almost
intolerably strong at Liverpool, where, as I remem-ber, the perception of the English character of everything was as acute as a surprise, though it could only be a surprise without a shock. It was expectation exquisitely gratified, superabundantly confirmed.
There was a kind of wonder indeed that England should be as English as, for my entertainment, she took the trouble to be; but the wonder would have been greater, and all the pleasure absent, if the sensation had not been violent. It seems to sit there again like a visiting presence, as it sat opposite to me at breakfast at a small table in a window of the old coffee-room of the Adelphi Hotel —the un-extended (as it then was), the unimproved, the unblushingly local Adelphi. Liverpool is not a romantic city, but that smoky Saturday returns to me as a supreme success, measured by its association with the kind of emotion in the hope of which, for the most part, we betake ourselves to far countries.

‘Clouds of Albion’ a short story @stingingfly.bsky.social stingingfly.org/2023/11/15/n...

Clouds of Albion, for Max
David Hayden Nov 15, 2023
Fiction
Norman played dominoes in the kitchen, not waiting for the lost ones to show. Spots under his palms. Norman, the once upon a time beautiful boy, shattered twink, reverb child, horny fingered string bender, had lost his hair in one big surprise. Ivory rectangles clacked together to make patterns that Norman was sure would eventually be the key, the number, that might turn behind his eyes and release a flow of awe and rage and tunes from where they were trapped, whirring like thugs' knives forever in that alley in 1972. Over and over, he moved the tiles and stared into the new shapes chance had made. He liked a small glass to drink out of, as he emptied the skinny green bottle of red wine that tasted of raspberries and smoke.
