Thanks Jamie! Really though, your book is wondrous and radiant; I read it every day, slowly, because the book deserves to be discovered and digested slowly, simply because it's so rewarding. Thank you so much for writing the book. I wish you all the success in the world with this thing.

I've written about why I think 'In Ferneaux' is my favourite album by Blanck Mass.

It's a deep dive into oneself and what music can be. The album is beautiful.

Book cover of 'Nobody Broke Your Heart: an Intimate Biography of Elliott Smith', a lovely picture of Smith in the sun, eyes closed, smiling, one hand on hip, the other hanging next to his body.

It must be said: @jamie-fisher.bsky.social has written a book about Elliott Smith. The book is one of the finest biographical books that I've read in a decade (and yes, I've only come 40% through the book so far; it's *very* good).

I've reviewed @scottmeslow.bsky.social's wondrous, enchanting, and piercingly investigative book about Twin Peaks.

This is so far the best non-fiction book of 2026. I urge everyone to read this book.

Ted Bundy's head is partly seen against the backdrop of a chimney from where tonnes of highly dangerous chemicals are dispersed into the atmosphere and, ultimately, into humans, animals, and the future.

Wow! Impressive... Now's the time you tell me you have a cassette player installed in your car.

Did the band appear post-gig or were they acting coy?

I really hope they bring some of their US merch to us!
