I get the principle that Ian is putting forward here but to me it suggests how little we value the importance the common auditory space we all inhabit vs the visual. I see music etc played out loud on public transport as sonic littering, pure selfish entitlement to the detriment of all.
I know everyone's going to love this and I don't want to spoil the fun but it's illiberal. I'm sorry. I know. But it is.

It's worth noting that this looks terrifyingly like my younger brother.
April is going to be a great Miskatonic month here in London Beyond Fulci (lol) we've also got a chat with Tom O'Neill, author of Chaos - a mad book drawing together all your wildest crack pot 60s conspiracy theories into one accidental explosion.
