After name-checking The Yeovil Lemurian Society yesterday I got an email from Roy...er, I mean Azaruus asking me if I could mention that they meet on the third thursday of each month at the Unitarian Hall, Goldcroft, Yeovil and anyone is welcome to come along. Their next meeting will be 8:00pm on 20...

I've mentioned #8 of Bust Down the Doors and Eat all the Chickens before. But it really is terrific. Fer fucksake: It's! Only! Five! Bucks! So buy a copy off Bradley - catch him off-guard on monday as he limps in thru his front door, trouserless and covered in parrot feathers, hung-over and strung-o...

The First Bizarro Convention is this weekend in deepest, darkest Oregon: NOVEMBER 14-16EDGEFIELD MANOR2126 S.W. Halsey St.Troutdale, OR 97060 I wish I could make this. There's some terrific authors attending and all sorts of panels, readings, book launches, poetry shout-downs, etc happening. It soun...

Actually, I have loads of favourite cafes, but they shift in and out of focus depending on a whole bunch o'factors. But let's narrow the bandwiiiidth a bit and just zoom in on Yeovil. This is my favourite cafe at the moment; I particularly like going there with one or both of my kids...it's just, I ...

Apologies for delay in reporting this, but scanner, CD-player and me have all been on the blink recently... The MYMWLY triple-CD set "Hand Rolled Oblivion" arrives with an Ice Bird Spiral track - "Temperature Shanty" - in tow along with a zillion und a half pieces by folks like Brothers of The Occul...

Just up: Survey 0003, the latest album-collection-release from the Classwar Karaoke Netlabel-Collectiv is available, all ready to hit the streets and the human hive-mind. This episode's musical 'theme' circles around the seemingly-unrelated ideas of "Regression" and "Burlesque". 003 includes a new t...

Meanwhile, a new Wyrd World: me on the intersection (and odd off/on alliance) betwn Prog and Punk. In particular, the music of Ron Anderson of PAK, RonRuins, The Molecules, etc infamy. Thanks to Ron for being a total dude and taking the time out to talk to me - I enjoyed our talk immensely. His enth...

Then I talked Chris into playing this in his shop - very loud! - : Cheesefest-a-go-go! Snn-nn-nn-snare-rush! Now, if they'd just sampled the whoooowhooo's from "What Time is Love?" (or, even better, if The KLF had produced it) then this might have been the greatest record ever made. Actually, it's p...

I wrote a bunch of stuff about "Dead Set", but - youknowwhat - I can't be bothered to post it. You already know what I was gonna say anyway. Instead, some more fairly vague impressions of Holdsworth/the 1st UK album. Holdsworth contributes some great guitar runs: there's an amazing liquidity to his ...

Finally finished off "Creative Debt Restructuring" this morning. Needs some polishing and fine-tuning next week, but it's basically done and I'm gonna walk away from this for a few days. This one wades in at 15K, so basically a novelette. (An average paperback being about 90K, a novella 40-ish...) A...
