After getting out of the habit of reading novels, I loved reading A Child In Time by Ian McEwan on holiday. It’s got an incredible start, weaves in a lot of interesting themes, and a beautiful end. And it’s short which is a bonus for lazy readers like me!

it possibly did suffer overplay but I still think voyage voyage is brilliant

I read this with a grimace - sort of spurred on by morbid curiosity. I’ll stick to the plant-based future, thanks.

Some of my friends have been telling me how good this club is for quite a while, but I haven’t made it over there yet.
Caught them on the first night in the Bowl at WOH and it was my favourite DJ set of the festival. Anything goes, dancefloor fun.
Yes its every bit as good as people say. Just realised that aricle is from February and doesnt cover the recent news they are under theat again from developers. If that club goes as well they might as well wipe Leeds off the map.

Currently reading music journo Ted Kessler’s autobiography, just got to the bit where he’s been commisioned to write about the Mega Dog tour in '93.
Fair to say Aphex wasn’t too happy to be a part of the line up…

A classic, that everyone should read. Lost count how many times I’ve read this. Recommend reading alongside Curzio Malaparte’s The Skin.

Love this one! And Malaparte, too. Kaputt is really something.

Is that Paper Cuts? Great read.
Yeah it is, about halfway through it.

Phil Manzanera’s book sounds really interesting. He took his Columbian mother’s surname and the family migrated to Cuba where they lived opposite a general from Batista’s army until the Revolution changed everything.
When Kanye sampled a cut from his solo album K-Scope on “No Church in the Wild” (2011) he made more than his total earnings over the previous fifty years.

We saw the same tour in London. Aphex Twin was so good. And we all remember his mate going crazy at the front.

I have a few LPs from his personal record collection. Years ago he gave a big bunch to a local record shop around these parts. Mostly 80s new wave and post punk stuff but also world music, picked up while touring I guess. Some quite obscure stuff too.
