Introducing the memoir from one of the era-defining drummers from the much-mythologised post punk scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s: BUDGIE. A life that is both fabulously glamorous and a tawdry cautionary tale.

THE ABSENCE: Memoirs of a Banshee Drummer

Look forward to working on this!
RUNNING THE LIGHT: the majestically bleak, hilariously debauched story of a road comic crashing and burning...

An acclaimed sensation in the US, comedian Sam Tallent's novel is as addictive as the substances that run like corruptible veins through its pages.

Happy Finnish Independence Day to my fellow Finns 🇫🇮🕯️✨

Bringing back my favourite quote from this Finnish diva because frankly there’s nothing that captures the Finnish identity quite as well as this.

Translation:
“What does Finland mean to you?”
Emilia Friman, 6: “Nothing.”

It’s been a pleasure to work on fabric’s 25th anniversary celebrations as they map out their history in a new book by @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social. Cameron Leslie and Craig Richards spoke with @theguardian.com about the making of the the club - in print tomorrow!

‘There was a catalogue of errors – but once we opened, we were on fire’: how we made Fabric nightclub
‘We wanted to bring the underground to a bigger audience. We had Bono in the DJ booth once. No one recognised him. In that dark space, he was completely free’

Hit that 1 week mark of relentless sinus infection following from an equally relentless two weeks of Covid so celebrated this with a very out of breath outing in the Welsh winter sun in a look that can only be described as Paddington core ☀️

7) The Holdovers. A flawless Christmas film that I can't wait to see again. A strange decision on the part of its UK distributor to put it on general release in February but it takes all sorts to make a world.

Somehow sick AGAIN (when will this year end?) so I watched Elizabeth Sankey’s utterly brilliant, heartbreaking, harrowing and deeply personal doc Witches streaming now on @mubi.bsky.social 🖤

Highly recommend adding this on your watchlist.
