I loved this so much. Tragic but outstanding reading.

October 2024 Book 60: Stephen King - The Dead Zone King really can tell a great story but, disappointingly following The Stand, I found the quality of writing in this one really piss-poor. His descriptive writing felt like it was straight from a high-schooler's English exercise, the dialogue...

Definitely incorporating, not sure if there will be another one at the other location too. https://efglondonjazzfestival.org.uk/events/the-official-blue-note-records-pop-up-store

Just saw this pop-up being decorated, if you’re in the CityPoint/Barbican area @Selaws might be something you’d like. https://efglondonjazzfestival.org.uk/events/japanese-jazz-vinyl-selection-with-tony-higgins

I seem to remember they only waived customs on orders up to £135 so possibly a big order gets stung?

This has a song called “Jump Then Fall”. I believe she’s rather popular on the hit parade.

That Heavy Load is a good album from what I remember. I only ever had the CD but I did see New Kingdom live at Sheffield University supporting a band called Senser back in 1994. Good times.

All that baby goat back, it must be...

I tried but after being in a queue for 6 hours it then put me in a new queue. This actually went down quite quickly, maybe another hour but it was all four of us or none of us and there was only the odd scattered seat left so I passed, didn’t even get to the point of checking prices. Were I a...
