A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

Tiny Vipers “Life on Earth” (Sub Pop, 2009)

One of my favourite album covers.

Hard to know where one track ends and another begins, which is all part of the magic.

Nothing else sounds like this.

What if you could capture a two-hour sunset in a single photo?

This composite was built from ~6,000 photos taken on a night in mid-July, each contributing just one column of pixels.

Look closely and you’ll spot stars starting to twinkle in the upper left as the night begins ✨🔭🧪

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

This listing for ‘premium pubes’ actually came up when I clicked “similar items” on Gumtree.

It’s been such a good experience working on this set - quite up for offers of more shows!

In the meantime, just about to put a cassette/download up on Bandcamp with some new songs on it.

Meanwhile, up on the far north coast, last night...

Z8 with the Viltrox 16mm F1.8

I am trying to work out if one of the tracks in the third image is a meteor or not.

IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (Anagrammed Lines)

It came from outer space —
a comet of imp creatures;
a curse of meteor impact —
to permute a cosmic fear,
to cap our mesmeric fate...
