17/2026. Re-read this as I’m republishing it later this year. Pretty out there and just as good as I remembered. Excited!

The potential to solve the 'Pogacar problem', but only at the cost of a potentially even bigger problem.

Wait till he gets to 45+…

Still loving 'Bone Games'…

7" of King Tubby's & The Aggrovators - This Ya Version Ya Red on Justice label. Released in 1975. Produced by Bunny Lee.

Trivia: Peter Sagan’s breakfast was 400g of pasta reheated with 3-4 eggs, cheese & ham folded in, topped with olive oil supplied team mate Daniel Oss. Then a big bowl of porridge with peanut butter mixed in + banana on top, washed down with green tea. Never won Sanremo despite seeming ideal for it.

Exactly my kind of caper. How can you have second thoughts if you don’t have first thoughts @nedboulting.bsky.social? ;)

‘She sounded like the cosmos breathing’: David Byrne, Flying Lotus and more on the greatness of Alice Coltrane The radical work of the musician and composer was dismissed by sexist critics and overshadowed by the legacy of her late husband John.

Very very happy to have landed this piece, tough oeuvre to sum up in 1400 words, but hopefully this pays tribute properly but also functions as a way in for the newly acquainted.

13/2026. A good yarn but it kind of fluffed the punchline in assuming that everyone reading knew the result…

12/2026 “Whatever one thinks of the arrogance of the dollar or the multinationals, it is this culture which, the world over, fascinates those very people who suffer most at its hands, and it does so through the deep, insane conviction that it has made all their dreams come true .”
