Would immediately buy the album with this cover. Dense, dystopian electronica of a most unsettling kind.

Free community event in EK Library next Thursday - a little bit of Josef K chat, a little bit about writing in general. I’m being interviewed by some of my S2 pupils, who are big music fans and aspiring authors too. I’ll have copies of the book to sign if you fancy popping along to say hello.

'Once they have trapped you into being like everyone else you will never see your cup of stars again....' A sublime piece of writing by Shirley Jackson (1916-1965) from 'The Haunting of Hill House.'

Bronco Bullfrog, 1970.

Meshes of the Afternoon is such a great film, partly because it’s made by someone delighting in their discovery of a whole new language - the vocabulary of cinema - with all of its possibilities, but also because Maya Deren looks like a vision from the future. It’s hard to believe it’s from 1943.

The ITV Retro YouTube channel just uploaded one of the greatest movies ever made. It's sumptuous and sensual in a way that still amazes for a film that's almost 80 years old. Don't watch it on your phone though - this deserves the big telly.
