This is so lovely, as artist and musician Laurie Anderson chats with Flo in the greenhouse. Other episodes feature Cosey Fanni Tutti and others. Well worth exploring!

Farewell today to Hungarian director Béla Tarr (1955 – 2026), one of cinema’s great visionaries. His deeply poetic and uncompromising films—like Sátántangó and The Turin Horse—redefined slow, contemplative cinema and left an indelible mark on the art of filmmaking

Whilst updating my website I just came across this joyful piece of press in the NME from December 1994, with a report on my Electronic Lounge night at the ICA - what an adventure!

Farewell to magical Thailand, and what a week it's been, from incredible temples with one of the largest reclining Buddha's in the world to history in every inch of the land. Incredible food, and kind smiling people. Plus terrible flu and a stupid accident with intense police accompaniment.
