We binged it this weekend. Episodes 1 & 2 had us on the edge of our seats. The third episode was slower. The final one just focused on the emotions and was so hard hitting. Really great, if harrowing, stuff.

I hope she enjoys it! It's a fantastic series that has enough extra/variations to the TV show to make it a worthwhile read. Lots more lore and backstory that hasn't yet been picked up in the show. No spoilers, but the final of the second season hints at the beginning of the second book, so in...

Book 7: Dust by Hugh Howey (Cornerstone, 2023) The final in the "Silo" trilogy from Hugh Howey and its a belter. I lucked out on reading the first book before seeing the show and it hooked me in straight away. It's such a fantastically imaginative story that builds and builds. I just wish there...

This was incredible and I cant believe I have never seen it until now. Top tier!

Wowza! This is getting me even more excited for my copies to turn up! Enjoy!

Just catching up on all this and also saw Storf's Instagram post. WOW. Regardless of what people think of VMP's history, it's pretty devastating to see all these people lose their jobs. Although the company wasn't always great, I don't think anyone can deny how passionate the likes of Storf...

Perfect, thanks. Im in no rush for it, just didn't want to be forgotten. It will definitely be worth the wait! Ah amazing, I wasn't even aware this existed. Have you seen it? Worth watching?

Have you had any tracking info since you posted this? I haven't yet and just wanted to see if others are in the same situation. Usually my proximity to France means I get them before you US folk, but that hasn't been the case this time.

Maybe, I wouldn't know without looking, but they're all decent to my ears. There was a mad few years where it was cheaper for me to buy anything from VMP than it was from to get the equivalent here in the UK, so much so that I bought a decent pair of bookshelf speakers that they MUST have made a...

I was a VMP member for going on 8 years until they chopped the international subs. Recently I've been digging through all the exclusives I have from them and I find that when they focused on a short run of a "series" they typically sound fantastic. The likes of the: - Impulse Spiritual Jazz...

Vey sad to have heard of the passing of Roy Ayers. A true musical pioneer with an incredible legacy. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/roy-ayers-death-neo-seoul-music-everybody-loves-sunshine-b2709905.html

RIP Roy Ayers. Such an incredible legacy.

Book 4: Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan (Anchor, 2014) A really fun book full of humour. I thoroughly enjoyed this and will definitely be on the lookout for the others in the series. Book 5: Butter by Asako Yuzuki (Fourth Estate, 2025) The "it" book of the moment, it seems. I did enjoy this...

Its a question I've been asked a few times on Instagram too. I sat down with Universal before Christmas and ran through the list of potential albums they might pursue as part of their "Jazz Explosion" series. "Down Another Road" wasn't on there (plus its a Fontana/Philips release so they would...

I listened to the first disc earlier and it sounds superb. I cant get enough of her sound, its so captivating.

The latest from Yazz Ahmed arrived and it looks to be a great package. I opted for the limited coloured pressing (pearl, but basically just white vinyl) with the signed booklet.

Yazz Ahmed - A Paradise In The Hold (Night Time Stories, 2024 Limited First Signed Pressing) Really looking forward to listening to this latest album from Yazz Ahmed which arrived a day early. Her mixing of contemporary jazz with traditional Bahraini influences is so unique and works everytime...

You guys are all nerds... ...and I love it.

Just looked and they are super nice!
