“My tastes have always been funereal and dirge-like.” Mine too, Kenneth; mine too. 2026 will be the centenary of his birth and I wonder how much people think about him any more. He was certainly a key person for me when it came to my falling in love with language 🖤 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Richard Eason - a supporter of Longbarrow Press for twenty years, and a good friend for thirty years - would have turned 52 today. A week after his death, I walked from Leeds to Goole, and thought of him. This is an account of the walking and thinking. longbarrowpress.substack.com/p/unrecovere...

Can we take a moment to reflect on the design horror of the Baggies’ team sheet.

Degrade. Devalue. Destroy.

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

Reprehensible

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

To find out what happened when we met him, read this 👇

Ever since we started covering Andrew Milne, the solicitor who's been sending letters asking Sheffield leaseholders for thousands of pounds, we've been building up a list of questions. Unfortunately, he's not been keen to answer them. So we eventually tracked him down to a Costa in east London.

The first person we meet on Past Lives is Nanaya'ila'i, an Elamite woman from southwestern Iran who was enslaved around 645 BC by the Assyrians in one of their last campaigns of conquest. What can we know about her life? How did she experience the sharp end of empire? www.patreon.com/posts/nanaya...

Among other issues with Zipcar's model in London: Having to negotiate individually with 32 boroughs, some of which charged thousands of pounds per car. Meanwhile, Croydon council outsourced much of their employee car fleet to Zipcar and may be a bit screwed. www.londoncentric.media/p/zipcar-lon...

One of the things I love about this chart is that as one of the editors of the site there'll be loads I am not familiar with here – praise be to all our writers for introducing us to so much excellent music, and to our subscribers for funding this.

The artificial island where The Bridge becomes The Tunnel is named Peberholm, to complement the preexisting island of Saltholm, which lies next door. Something thematically appropriate I released from the paywall while in Copenhagen

Just as I have smoothed this lump of jet by turning it over and over in my palm so many times, until even that too has softened - what good are speeches now. My brother has gone, my sister gone their wild inflections and smiles have gone - all are gone. Andrew Hirst, 'Frome XXIV' (2007)

✨ A few years back I stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light. 🌅 #thread

This is the Neude in Utrecht. It spent decades in the late 20th century as a car park before being returned to the people and becoming a vibrant public square once again. Your city could do this too - it’s a political choice.
