Time to clarify something. When authors say βUnbound havenβt paid meβ that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authorsβ writing. Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust. Unbound stole our money.

Nice piece about Spurs cup win, the last two paragraphs are pretty much how I feel.

Last Ride is a distillation of the surreal beauty of the Western sprawl. The record exists in some intangible haze; a bakelight bridge to the past that reverberates in the V-hold flicker of home videos from forgotten desert expanses.

Look, I feel again I need to wind this back and do a more measured explainer for folks who are entangled in the terminologies that are quite deliberately being thrown in our paths and used to divide.....

Spurs to get relegated this season? The odds are still against it but we can hardly say that it hasn't happened before. So this is about when it did happen before, 48 years ago.

As Bad As Things Got: Tottenham Hotspur, 7th May 1977
16 years after becoming the first English club in the 20th century to win the prestigious League and FA Cup double, Spurs were relegated.

As promised (a day or so late) here's a link to grab my 20 Lyric posters that I did during Covid Lockdown. Once the link expires, that's it, they're gone. So grab them quick! Give credit where credit is due if you repost them, print them etc

Wasnβt gonna leave a cover like this in the charity shop plus released on Warner Bros in 1971. Itβs James Taylorβs brother and I love the country funk of Truck Driving Man.
