What you reading

No way! :slightly_smiling_face: Their site was up for years. Only 2 or 3 reviews I sent over made the cut, all a bit amateur, esp the blurry pix! Were they based North?

Yeah the estate don’t seem too happy about this one…

Nice blog that goes way deeper than the well-trodden story of balearic bohemians

Jag Shoes was ace!

Nenah Cherry’s A Thousand Threads book is great. Been flying through it.

She’s also on GP just now speaking about it.

I went to see Michel Faber perform some of the poems from this book. I had not long had my life implode and the end of my marriage. The book is poems written by the author as his wife got incurable cancer, and later died. It was one of the most beautifully emotional hours I’ve ever had. I was crying the whole way through.

Love, loss, grief and how to move on. I met Michel and bought 10 copies to give to my most cherished friends and family.

I just bought another copy for the wife of my cousin who died from cancer on Boxing Day. Aged 49. I will wait for a while before giving her the book. Far too soon.

That was his real name. He died in 2010 aged only 45 after collapsing at the gym.

Trying to sleep after a run of night shifts before starting earlies tomorrow at 6.30am. Totally fucks my body clock with only 2 days in between.

A big fan of this miserable, German pessimist.

I’m surprised to see so many people in the comments saying they don’t remember the track at all?!

Just pre-ordered that, looks great.
