A reminder that my book on the history of protest is now published. It is superbly produced with a great cover. Buy it now from @reaktionbooks.bsky.social
Contested Commons Formidably erudite, compellingly argued, and dryly humorous, Contested Commons will change the way you think about the politics of space, the "myth of the commons", and the history of England since the eighteenth century: MATTHEW KELLy, author of The Women Who Saved the English Countryside "Starting with Kennington Common, and ranging from Steeple Bumpstead to Sheffield, Stonehenge and Brixton, and with a cast that includes ramblers, ranters, revolutionaries and ravers, this is a superb, sweeping but fine-grained history. It's also a highly necessary, politically urgent reminder of what public space is - places for everyone, owned by everyone, accessible to everyone, whether carefully tended or wild - and what it isn't, the tradition of pseudo-public space that runs from Victorian parks to privatised malls.' OWEN HATHERLEY, author of A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain

Sunflower and Dinosaur Act are two tracks I hold so close to my heart.

25 years since Things We Lost in the Fire.
Such a landmark record for me.

There's some great new research going on about the politics of heating in the 20thC.

Was intrigued, rereading the wonderful The Ghost of Thomas Kempe, to find somebody’s house having central heating being noted as remarkable. In 1973!

And indeed, only about 30 percent of UK homes would have had central heating when the book was published.

Kind of wish we were watching this at Boxpark. The dam scene would have looked great on a big screen. ##TheTraitorsUK

I tried as best I could to get the students to understand the 18thC electoral system in Britain.
Q: "if everything is so corrupt and random, what's the point?"
A: "there is no point. It doesn't make sense, deliberately."

The lovely Em and staff who used to run the Standard now run the Dark Horse near Selhurst Park, well worth a visit.
