I bet Liverpool are regretting running their recent Top Ten campaign before Freddie Woodman started playing

A nice review of The Umbrella Man and Other Stories

Starring Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy

I will shortly have an appointment with The Wicker Man @smershpod.com

Been resisting the temptation to immerse myself in this all week; confident I’ll now have a boss night thanks to @4hundredblows.bsky.social’s new release.

Had a nice chat about film and film things with @www.johnbleasdale.com here. open.spotify.com/episode/4BNd...

I'll be giving my talk about John Cage, Music & Mushrooms in Brighton on May 6th. It should be fun, I'm fairly confident my bit is anyway.

“Some authors can get too clever about themselves” Ha, not me!

A proper honour to edit this one. An uncompromising, singular mind. Funny too.

I don’t *have* to be writing at this very moment, though there are projects I could be working on. But. I’m 200 pages into this bloody magnificent book and I can’t put it down. It’s like zooming into the Zapruder film and focussing on the people on the pavements. It’s like a series of… (1/2)

@kardomah.bsky.social are you based in Liverpool Jaq?

In July 1979, a porn magazine called Gallery released a JFK assassination special, with a flexidisc of the gunshots. A drummer called Steve, from Ohio, listened to it repeatedly until he heard something no one else had. This is just one of the stories in The Umbrella Man and Other Stories. Out now.

Might apply to be Chelsea manager. Short term contract, lucrative, I already have nice glasses and experience of being stuffed in Brighton

I’ve written an article for this week’s edition of @thenewworldmag.bsky.social It’s adapted from one of the chapters in my new book - The Umbrella Man and Other Stories Link - www.thenewworld.co.uk/martin-fitzg...

I look forward to these every week and this one is a cracker. Backlisted remains the best value quality over quantity subscription out there.

“A satisfied customer….”

" honestly darling, I only bought Gallery for the JFK gunshot flexidisc".

The whole book sounds fascinating. Pre-ordered 😊

This interview with the wonderful @peteralanross.bsky.social is one of the very best things I’ve run on the Broken Compass. Peter is so characteristically eloquent about the motivation for his writing, and about the themes that weave through his work. open.substack.com/pub/mathewly...

Worth it for that story alone.

@iammilliam.bsky.social that may be the best Inventory yet and I think about The Cramps one on a regular basis. Very sorry for the loss of your brother in law x
