*painfully awkward reminder that my book would make the perfect Christmas gift for any fans of teenage hedonism*

Telstar Ponies were an obscure Glasgow band in the mid 1990s; and I discovered them for myself buying a secondhand CD in York of a Fire Records compilation. Here is a beautiful if but gothic-tinged Christmas lament from them: tidal.com/track/273003...

My profile header image is a jpg I made to refer to Michael Donaghy’s poem about blossoms in reverse. A beautiful but brutal poem.

I’ve bought a lot of vinyl this year but haven’t been able to play it because my music setup isn’t sorted at home. It’s going to be fixed for 2025. I love music as much as literature. So, I’ll post pics of the vinyl I’ve bought — give me an hour ;-)

Usually, my music tastes are too bizarre to share. But I’ve made a very ridiculous electroclash playlist for myself for secret reasons, and I think some of you might enjoy it: tidal.com/playlist/84b...

I’ve nearly finished All My Precious Madness, by @markabowles.bsky.social. I’ve laughed & cried, which a novel rarely rouses me to. I’ve eaten the narrator’s linguistic literary cornucopia while being towed under by exquisite irony into an abyss. The best novel I’ve read this year.
