George Saunders has a new novel coming out in January.

Interesting. I think a lot of bands and acts associated with this period recorded their debut in the 60s!

Thanks Rich. Only one qualifier and one other listed but the consensus was shattered by 2010!

Remembering that I was first alerted to this tomb when American SF author Philip José Farmer visited it in the 70s. He had used a reborn Burton as the protagonist of his high concept masterpiece To Your Scattered Bodies Go. It took me 40 years to visit it.

Ah, that’s good news about the Burton Mausoleum.

I generally like - even love - Godard’s 60s work but agree about Alphaville.

I’m going to have a bath.

It didn’t seem to be attracting much attention.

Hi Rich, on this cold night. My choices are:

#5debutalbums1014

1 Aldous Harding - s/t

2 The Magnetic North - Orkney: Symphony of the Magnetic North

3 Mica Levi - Under the Skin

4 Goat - World Music

5 John T Pearson - Last of the Country Gentlemen

Yep, that’s a good cover.

Thanks Richard, I’ll seek it out.

Well we nearly did it. Fantastic day’s cricket.

Or have I spoke too soon?!

Increasingly slim, but still. A much better situation than when I woke up.
