Trying to take stock a bit of what of my dad's music is available to listen to online. There's not much, but this is a song I like a lot - the lyrics are a touch Eiffel 65 in retrospect, but it's still pretty beautiful I think.

'Skagen.' (1889) Eilif Petersen first visited Skagen in Denmark in 1884 and visited Paris the following year where he saw work by Monet and Alfred Sisley, both of whom had a profound influence in the way he depicted light on sand and moving water.

Lucky that the budget tomorrow includes a top-secret plan to bail out universities, otherwise this would be entirely empty rhetoric
Always the way, isn't it? Graduate from top uni says other people shouldn't aspire to go to university.
The Prime Minister's target – two thirds of young people getting a degree or an apprenticeship – is the right one. Only Labour backs our young people.

If anyone wants to do a roadtrip around Scotland, let me know. I don't have a car and I can't drive, but I can sing along to most 90s hits and talk semi-fluently about epistemic injustice and Dan Brown novels.

This looks fantastic, and I'm very sorry I can't be there - you can see Frances and Yinmei, two of the students I'm currently involved in supervising, give talks though and I can promise that both will be very worth your while
Check out this excellent conference with all details now uploaded.

I missed this when it came out last month, but this is a really lovely single from songwriter Seamus Fogarty - I gather it's about a friend of his who died and where they grew up together in County Mayo

25 yrs ago, with co-author John, we did a lot of research for Wittgenstein’s Poker on the costly deal with the Nazis (for 2 sisters to be classified Aryan). John has just found the files. A treasure trove. This is the US lawyer’s letter to Ludwig -exposing splits in the Wittgenstein family

For Algernon Newton buildings were living entities, vulnerable to the ravages of time, neglect or weather. period curiosities, timeless and unreal. This work, painted as a monotone picture, depicts 'Dovehouse Street, Chelsea,' in London, 1920.

Google scholar seems to have registered all the book citations. My own citation count hasn't jumped as much as I feared - each chapter has its own bibliography, and I was worried it might count each reference separately, but thankfully it seems like that's not the case.
