For months, in Hooley in Surrey, there's been a roadside billboard with 'WE NEED YOUR ART' spraypainted on it, and a date underneath. The other day, someone added a massive 'F' in front of 'ART'. Little things like this give me faint glimmers of hope in the British people.

Three years ago I got involved in a week long twitter spat with Katherine after pointing out that she had misattributed lines from a Budweiser beer commercial to Winston Churchill. Wouldn't have been the end of days if it hadn't been written on the walls of her school. Not a renowned fact checker.

My current favourite track from the new Half Man Half Biscuit album is the darkly hilarious Falmouth Electrics which features a man who, made redundant, buys, then dramatically falls out with, a ventriloquist's dummy who looks like Bauhaus' Peter Murphy. I mean, obviously it does.

Fred Leist composed this work one morning at 2am in 1942 overlooking the sea in Cornwall. He captures a moment when the world seems to be simplifying itself into light and shadow, losing substance and becoming dreamlike.
