Weeknotes wb 25 November 2024
A week of two halves. It started very productively and then on Wednesday I was knocked flat with some sort of illness which took about three days to get over (including one sleeping most of the day on Thursday). I find the hardest aspect of being unwell is the inability to do anything at all…

Unwelcome Website Woes
THINGS haven’t been great with my blog over the last week or so. That’s an understatement. I’ve spent a great deal of time working out how to save all the content I’ve put up here for the last five years. I’ve maintained blogs of some sort or another since the late 1990s and more consistently…
-
Weeknotes wb 28 October 2024
Blimey! It’s over a month since I made any attempt to put together a “weeknotes”. Perhaps “month notes” would be more appropriate. It’s been a week of looking after my youngest as his primary school has different half-term holiday than other schools where we live. Clocks went back and the weather’s become gloomier. Our plans…
-
Thomas Covenant, The Unbeliever
Another charity shop find! A mere £1 for the trilogy of Stephen Donaldson’s The Chronicles of Thomas Covenent, The Unbeliever. It’s a fantasy series started in the mid-1970s in that early wave of post-Toklien novels and I read the first volume way-way-back when I was in my middle-teens (recomended by the owner of Stargate One…
-
Book Evocation
A discussion about the merits of reading a physical book rather than a digital copy led to considerations about the way that books – like songs – are associated with a particular moment in time in memory. There’s some truth to this. I often recall the first copy of a selection of Thomas Hardy’s poetry…
-
The Book of Alien, 1979
Another find at our local Oxfam bookshop, The Book of Alien. Published in 1979 to accompany the release of the movie, it’s a behind-the-scenes account of the production with lots of art (mainly by Ron Cobb but also by Moebius and Chris Foss) and photos. There are sections on spaceship design, sets and spacesuits, the…
-
Another Thrilling Star Wars Adventure!
Love these (fake) book covers for the first three Star Wars movies in the style of sixties pulp paperbacks. Illustrator Russell Walks is amazing!
-
The Dead of Night
Bought for £1 at the local hospital’s League of Friends bookshop. Onions is one of the great twentieth-century ghost story writers. This volume does include The Beckoning Fair One which Robert Aickmam described as “one of the (possibly) six great masterpieces in the field”. There’s an intense, manic quality to Onions’ writing that is incredibly…

-2,147,483,648 Hours and 24 Minutes
Decided to reinstall OSX on the macbook air that I mostly use at home. I bought it in 2012 and, other than upgrading it to Catalina (which is as new as OSX will go without using OCLP) it’s always worked great. Over the years I’ve installed a lot of apps, fiddled with the settings and…
-
Weeknotes wb 16 September 2024
I have to admit that I’m struggling to maintain these weekly notes (though I will endeavour to do so). Mainly it’s that I’m over-thinking the detail and it’s taking me far too long to put the notes together. So here’s something shorter… The “Season of mists” is most definitely upon us and I’m waking to…
-
Radio Times Lord of the Rings Cover
Lovely piece from 2021 by Brian Sibley about the cover to the 7th March 1981 issue of Radio Times. Sibley writes about the illustration, Eric Fraser, and his acquistion of the original artwork. Much like Jimmy Coulty’s stunning 1976 poster illustration for the novel, Sibley’s BBC dramatisation which was originally aired between March and August…
-
Make Something to Your Taste
At the bottom of Jay Springett’s latest post, Destination Distraction, he’s added a short video, Make Something to Your Taste, his latest 301 Permanently Moved podcast episode, which caught me at exactly the right time. It’s a mesmerising video where Springett is convincing in reinforcing the importance of creativity and a call to “Make a…
-
The Hartnell Years
Picked up a copy of The Doctor Who Production Diary: The Hartnell Years by David Brunt. I’m in the middle of watching the first season of Doctor Who from 1963-4 and, while I make great use of both the first volume of About Time and The Television Companion – both of which I’ve owned for…
-
Weeknotes wb 2 September 2024
Weather’s changed and there’s now a definite sense that Autumn’s begun. It’s cooler – almost cold – and darker during the day and we’re experiencing sudden showers. By the end of the week the children were both back at school (fairly happily, which is a relief) and I’m getting to grips with how things seem…
-
Agatha: A Tale of Three Witches
I’ve just backed Andrew MacLean’s Kickstarter project, Agatha: A Tale of Three Witches. It’s a prequel to MacLean’s fantastic quarterly series, Head Lopper, a comic I’ve bought from its first issue. (The last issue, #16, was released in 2021.) Anything Head Lopper gets an automatic “must buy” from me. There are a range of “rewards”…
-
Weeknotes wb 26 August 2024
September has always been the pivot on which the year turns. My birthday is in a couple of days and, as a child, it would be the signal that the return to school would shortly follow (though in those days, the start of school seemed to be about a week after my birthday). And here…
-
Weeknotes wb 19 August 2024
There’s a definite sense that summer is coming to an end. It’s feeling cooler in the mornings and grey clouds and rain have dominated many of the days this week. Come to that late-summer point where I’m genuinely uncertain about which day of the week it is. Doing (or should that be Done?) Another “summer…
-
Weeknotes wb 12 August 2024
This is the first of my attempt at maintaining a weekly “weeknotes” used to intentionally review and reflect on the last seven days. I know that the format of this weeknotes isn’t quite right and will undoubtedly undergo changes. I’ve enjoyed reading the weeknotes and, after some recent posts by bloggers talking about why they…
-
Hüsker Dü Live
Spent a couple of hours today listening to some of the live recordings of Hüsker Dü that can be found on the Internet Archive. It’s a mixed bag: some pretty good ones that sound as if recorded at the mixing desk, while others are just muffled noise with the occasionally recognisable vocal. I can understand…
-
Control
Eventually picked up a copy of Control, a five year-old game I didn’t realise I wanted to play until the release of Alan Wake 2 revealed that it was set in a shared universe. Described as “a solid comedy pastiche of the X-Files, right down to a mysterious smoking man” by Rock, Paper, Shotgun reviewer…
-
“it’s the nameless non-slop that matters”
Wonderful post by John Higgs which ranges from the Trump assassination attempt, the Olympics opening ceremony to “knobbing about”. Higgs makes the best analysis of the Olympic opening ceremony I’ve seen, dscribing it as “slop”, which he defines as The ceremony was a lot like modern digital culture. We are bombarded with seemingly unconnected ideas…
-
Love in Constant Spectacle, Jane Weaver
Have been listening to Jane Weaver’s Love in Constant Spectacle for a couple of weeks now. Such a carefully constructed, intimate and gentle album which builds a fragile melancholic voice over dreamy motorik beats. Weaver’s gentle psychedelic pastoralism (which is the best way I think I can describe it) is something I find incredibly appealing…
-
OCLP and Ubuntu
Shock! Horror! Yesterday, I realised that – and I’ll blame this squarely on work – I’d slipped back into using OSX in that unconscious, it’s-what-I’m-used-to way. So I tried booting into Ubuntu on my macbook to find that it just refused to boot up. The boot choice led to a black screen. Then I realised…
-
Shakespeare and His World
Found this copy in an Oxfam bookshop today. I used to have a copy years ago but lost it in a move between schools. Originally publishing in the mid-1950s, it’s essentially a standard version of Shakespeare’s life though I imagine that some of the historical detail might be dated (ha!) in terms of current scholarship.…
-
Bob Mould, Hüsker Dü, Sugar
It must be the general mood I’m in at the moment but among the albums I’ve been sorting through in my never-ending organisation of my music library have been (last week) Hüsker Dü and (today) Bob Mould and Sugar. I originally got into Hüsker Dü back in in my teens in the 1980s when I…
-
Rock Bottom, Robert Wyatt
My attention in music recently has shifted again towards the early 1970s to the post-psychedelic stuff produced by musicians loosely grouped as the Canterbury Scene. My tastes in pyschedelia have always been in the slightly-folksy English pastoral strain which has brought me via Soft Machine and Matching Mole to Robert Wyatt’s stunning 1974 album, Rock…
-
Who and Hobbit
In other news, I went looking in local charity shops for a copy of Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell, a novel I’ve read twice but don’t have a physical copy. No luck on that front but I did find a delightful hardback of The Hobbit (I have the paperback version so this is…
-
Oblivion (2006)
Found a copy of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PS3 in a secondhand shop for £1. It was released in 2006 (and 2007 for Pas3) and is often included in lists of greatest videogames. I remember my eldest son playing it back then on 360 but I’m pretty sure I didn’t at the time…
-
Dual-booting Noble Numbat
Installed the 24.04 LTS release of Ubuntu, Noble Numbat, on Macbook so it dual boots with Sonoma (itś actually a 10 year-old Macbook Pro using OCLP to enable latest version of OSX to run). The only part of getting Ubuntu to dual boot was the actual dual booting itself. All the resizing of partitions and…
-
English: “ill-thought-through changes”
Brief – but valid – Guardian editorial calling for changes to English teaching. “Too much of what is valuable about studying English was lost in the educational reforms of the past 14 years,” the paper says and that “ill-thought-through changes, which imposed a model more suited to science and maths learning on to the quite…
-
Tom Tom Club, 1981
I’ve been listening to a LOT of Talking Heads lately and – while I was listening to Genius of Love performed on the live album of Stop Making Sense – realised that I’ve never really listened to the Chis Frantz and Tina Weymouth side-project, Tom Tom Club. Got to say that the first eponymously-titled first…
-
Fallout 3
At the same time I brought down my old PS3 and games, I found this copy of Fallout 3 for the Xbox 360. I’ve not ever played a Fallout game (not sure why and have played Oblivion, Skyrim and Starfield) and really enjoyed the tv series. I assume that it belongs to my eldest son.…
-
Play Station 3
Dug out my old “fat” PS3 console from the loft today. The plan was to see if Disney Infinity still worked so my youngest son could play using the NFC figures (the piece that triggers the game was missing so we couldn’t do that). I also brought down the PS3 games I own and it’s…
-
40K Painting
Finished my first-ever Warhammer 40K miniatures. They were part of the 40K starter set my son wasn’t interested in painting (he was more interested in the alien-like Tyranids). If I’m honest, I found painting the miniatures difficult and stressful – but glad I tried it. My only other experience of Warhammer has been reading several…
-
Brink Book 6, 2000AD prog 2379
Very pleased to see the return of Brink by Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard to 2000AD. I hadn’t read last week’s prog and, when I saw Culbard’s unmistakable cover for prog 2379, I had to dash out to WH Smiths and pick it up. Unbelievably, it’s Book Six. Brink is a future detective noir –…
-
Ed Piskor
Incredibly saddened to hear of the death of Ed Piskor, comic book artist and co-host of Cartoonist Kayfabe. I’ve been reading Ed’s comics since Hip Hop Family Tree came to my attention a decade ago and have followed his work through Grand Design and Red Room. His heartfelt celebration of comics on his YouTube channel,…
-
Three, Four Tet
“It’s got enough heart that we won’t accuse it of going through the motions, yet if that was all you ever asked from Four Tet, this is surely a dream come true,” says the reviewer on Sputnikmusic of Four Tet’s new album, Four, in a rather passive-aggressive review that calls the album “solid” and declares…
-
Bands as Saturday Morning Cartoons
This is an enjoyable site: stuffbymark.co.uk, where Mark Reynolds presents imaginary retro cartoons, movie posters and the like based on songs and bands. I loved the bands-as-Saturday-Morning-Cartoons especially – but Reynolds’ great at this.
-
Gallagher & Squire
Eventually listened through Liam Gallager John Squire, the new album by.. er… Liam Gallagher and John Squire. Alexis Petridis claims: “it’s a noticeably better album than anything in Gallagher’s post-Oasis oeuvre, and indeed anything Squire has released since leaving the Stone Roses in 1996. The songwriting is melodically stronger and the performances more vibrant, with…
-
Reading & Writing for Pleasure
Just read the excellent Reading and Writing for Pleasure: A Framework for Practice and Approaches to Reading and Writing for Pleasure by the Open University’s Reading for Pleasure programme. Plus the TES interview with Professor Teresa Cremin about how to encourage more children to read for pleasure. The takeaways seem to me to be ones…
-
OFSTED try to “do” literature
Amusing – and chilling – piece by the wonderful Michael Rosen about part of the recent OFSTED subject report into English. Rosen examines the controversial paragraph 90 of the report which attempts to insist that only texts of “literary merit” should be studied in schools and attempts a sleight of hand to conflate “easy” texts…
-
Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho
Found this in a charity shop today: Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, part of The Film Classics Library’s “most accurate and complete reconstruction of a film in book form”. It’s a comic book-like presentation of the whole of the movie and an absorbing read. I often find that stills from movies (especially old black and white ones)…
-
Philip Glass Solo
There’s already a great deal of Philip Glass in my music collection but I couldn’t resist listening to this latest album, Philip Glass Solo – though it was Luis Alverez Roure’s striking portrait of Glass that caught my attention. I first listened to Glass in the 1980s when I bought a copy of Glassworks on…
-
Feel More Again
There’s something hits different about Cineworld’s current slogan. Being told that I can “feel more again” by watching an animated movie about anthropomorphised mallard ducks migrating haphazardly to Jamaica isn’t quite what I’m going to the cinema with my kids for on a Saturday afternoon. We just wanted to do something and it was raining…
-
Make Children Happier
As part of a series arguing for revitalising policies a future Labour government should adopt, Polly Toynbee proposes three key educational reforms: “Bring back those 1,416 Sure Start centres that have closed” “Schools need just one target: make children happier and education a pleasure” “kickstart FE, with the resources and respect it deserves” Toynbee ends…
-
Ending(s), Night Country
LA Times interview with Night Country writer, Issa López reveals something about her thoughts regarding the ambiguity of the final episode’s end (and, to be honest, much of the season). In the interview, López stresses that she was deliberate in creating a story and setting where there can be both rational and supernatural readings of…
-
Future Days, Can
The latest episode of BBC Radio 3’s Free Thinking arts programme features a showcase of Can’s third album, Future Days. The programme is an enjoyable (and informative), presenting Can’s album in the context of post-Sixties Germany and of the original line-up of the band. I’m not sure why the programme chose Can’s third album rather…
-
Laird Barron’s Night Country review
Laird Barron is enthusiastic about the fourth season of True Detective, arguing that the writer/showrunner, Issa Lopez conjures an “ethereal undercurrent of magical realism”. He sees many of the artistic (and philosophical) decisions made reflect the lonely, estranged Alaskan setting. He also discusses the show as being within the tradition of “polar” horror, though refreshingly…
-
Curations, artuk.org
Curations are a wonderful means of self-organising British art using the Art.org web site. I use an installation of Pinry – essentially a self-hosted version of Pinterest – to generally keep and manage images and graphics I want to keep. The Art.org curations makes keeping hold of images of British art I particularly incredibly easy.…
-
Dreamfear/Boy Sent From Above, Burial
“caustic rave maximalism… [that] comes across like a forlorn mini cassette mix from the 90s vaults” according to The Quietus. Some sort of teleological excavation of a lost techno compilation from Ninties compressed into 25+ minutes of realtime aural actualisation. Of the two tracks, I find Boy Sent from Above pleasingly replayable. Pitchfork review describes…
-
Volta, Loula Yorke
Quietus review says that “Yorke’s new release Volta is deeply cyclical” and reflect a period of focused composition rather than Yorke’s previous improvised recordings. Makes comparisons with Hannah Peel’s Fir Wave. All seven tracks are great – though I’m especially taken with An Example of Periodic Time. Have listened to this album many times now.…

New Year, 2024

Nothing More Than a Test
This is nothing but a test. Let’s see. . . . . . . . . . . Just looking at stuff visually.

Almost a million children don’t have a book in their houses. Most concerning is that this lack of books is concentrated in younger children. National scandal.

Moons of Jupiter
Clear sky tonight and it was possible to get a good look at Jupiter in the night sky near a full moon. What was super-exciting was seeing the four Galilean moons of Jupiter – Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto – through a telescope. It gives an incredible sense of the physicality and presence of things…
-
60 Years of Doctor Who
Incredibly, the first episode of Doctor Who was aired on the 21st November 1963. As I’ve been a fan of the classic series from childhood, I thought I’d go back and watch the first season. The adventures of the First Doctor and his companions are the ones I’ve watched the least and there are some…

Monica
Alice bought me the new Daniel Clowes graphic novel, Monica, which is excellent and so so SO heartbreaking.

Kodi Media Centre
Managed to hook up my old PS3 controller to act as a controller for the Kodi media centre I’ve set up on the Rasp Pi 4 I had knocking about in a box upstairs. All working really well. I’ve got longer-term plans to develop this with decent speakers (maybe a DAC) and – probably wall-mounting…

“There has to be more to writing in English than this.” The English & Media Centre identify the chronic shortcomings of the dominant assessment model in English at KS3 which they say “is at odds with the creative nature of subject English”.

Seriously concerning report by the National Literacy Trust identifying the decline of children’s reading for pleasure. Seems to me the most important part is the section where children say what would encourage them to read more.

Russell Hoban’s Riddley Walker
Found a secondhand copy of Riddley Walker in our local Oxfam Bookshop. It’s an apocalyptic SF nove set locally here in Kent. This copy’s got an intro by an enthusiastic Will Self. It’ll have to go on my tsundoko for the time being as I’m wirkinh my way through the very enjoyable Murderbot Diaries series…

Ahh, Not More Repairs!
Somehow our switch was dropped (probably not the first time) and started malfunctioning. The issue seemed to be one connected with power. It was pretty straightforward to open the switch up and take a look inside. I made what repairs I could and cleaned off the dust and… it was fixed. I have a suspicion…
-
Ruins of Thurnham Castle
Went for a walk around the ruins of Thurnham Castle today. It’s the remains of a Norman earthworks castle. I enjoyed the ruins much more than I expected and the area around is full of twisty paths through woods and sharply descending steps. Jan and I explored some of the landscape beyond.
-
Beating the Battery Blues
Phew! Finally put a new battery in my iphone. Made a couple of mistakes – and lost one miniscule screw – but all seems well. Phone is working. It was something that HAD to be done as the old battery was lasting about an hour between charges.
-
Devil’s Kneading Trough
Visited the Devil’s Kneading Trough near Wye today which has a lovely view of southern Kent from the Downs. It was exactly the right length of walk for the kids. Alice picked blackberries.
-
Just learned about Russel Hoban’s Riddley Walker. Set in post-nuclear devastated Kent. Hoban is a writer I know nothing about but seems pretty interesting.
-
The Two Towers
“Frodo was alive but taken by the Enemy.” So ends The Two Towers. My slow read of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings now advances into The Return of the King. Gandalf returned. The Ents laid siege to Isengard. Saruman’s power was broken. Gollum led Frodo and Sam into a deadly trap in Mordor. Frodo…
-
Coming close to the end of my S-L-O-W re-read of The Two Towers. Having mixed feelings about the book if I’m honest.

fixing joycons again
I seem to keep fixing joy cons. This time my youngest managed to chew the thumbsticks. Luckily I had some replacement parts. Wonder if Hall Effect thumbstcks might help.

Very much enjoyed the Silo tv series. Found myself literally on the edge of my seat for the final episode. That last scene!

Haddit with Reddit
After 12 years using Reddit, I’ve deleted my data*. I’ll give it a few days to check that my comments and posts have been completely wiped and then I’ll permanently delete my account. Like many other long-term user of Reddit, this is in response to the greed of Reddit’s management and their despicable treatment of Christian…

Excellent TES interview with Professor Robert Eaglestone regarding knowledge and the ways that the teaching of English in schools has profoundly altered – and not for the better!

Apollo is shutting down on 30th June. Its app developer, Christian Selig, has been treated awfully by Reddit’s greedy leaders. I’m going to be deleting my Reddit account on 30th.

Excalidraw & Obsidian
Spent some time today looking at the Excalidraw plug-in for Obsdian by Zsolt Vicsián. (When online,) Excalidraw is a collaborative whiteboard. Using it within Obsidian, Excalidraw functions much like Obsidian’s built in Canvas – but importantly – allows stylus/Apple Pencil input. Making editable handwritten notes is the only feature I’ve missed since moving away from One…

Reading the Vertigo John Constantine, Hellblazer series this evening. Very much of it’s time (late 1980s) and engaging. There’s 300 issues in this run!

Dance of the Dawn
Chance found me listening to the first track on Yes’ 1973 album, Tales from Topographic Oceans and realising that it was a song from my childhood that I’d been trying to find for a great deal of my adult life. The Revealing Science of God: Dance of the Dawn. The album was one that my…

Watched – and enjoyed – the Nick Broomfield Arena documentary about the life of Brian Jones. So much about Jones I didn’t know and now realise what a complex person he was.

Here We Are
Impressed and enjoying the first season of HBO’s Perry Mason. Almost at the end of The Two Towers. Have been reading a great deal about the development of the Romance and Spenser’s Fairie Queene. Started Adrian Tchaicovsky’s Shards of Earth. Not reading many comics at the moment other than recent X-Men. Listening to: Van der…

Reading Memories
I’m almost finished reading The Fellowship of the Ring. Alongside the novel, I’m listening to Phil Dragash’s soundscape recording which I highly recommend. The novel has encouraged lots of memories of the copy of Fellowship I read when I was eleven and took with me to school. It was a large hardback copy without a…

Unusually bleak commentary on the current state of behaviour in schools by head of ASCL, Geoff Barton. Many school leaders are reporting a core of very challenging students in schools. Barton offers suggestions about the causes but states that “the truth is that we just don’t know”.

Polarisation in teaching in UK schools no better demonstrated than the “discussion” between Tom Rogers and Phil Beadle.

Reading The Fellowship of the Ring and realising how much I’d forgotten (and how my memory of it has been shaped by the Jackson movies).

Missed this piece in The Guardian yesterday by David Robson about the physical and mental health benefits of writing.

Rather than Labour’s “Report Card” for UK schools, I wonder whether looking for approaches outside of the models aping big business would provide a solution.

Found This, Out
Found this when out. It’s an old sign that’s been quite violently shredded by a vandal.

Seems like Johnson’s vile “I am the führer” exclamation as PM reported over the weekend is being completely ignored.

Listening to the first season of TANIS again. It’s great in creating an eerie, disorienting atmosphere.

Already after midnight and I’m still trying to work out how to improve these microposts. Need to save it for tomorrow!

Up too late again! I’m perpetually bemused how easily I lose track of time.

Working out how – and whether it’s worth it – to add micro posts here. Main issue is they look like junk clutter!

Have been reading Gene Wolfe’s The Fifth Head of Cerebus this evening.

Metallica 72 Seasons
Have to say that I’m enjoying the new Metallica album, 72 Seasons, a great deal. Metallica are a dangerous band for me musically as they encourage me to listen to thrashy, heavy metal at a time in my life where my inclination is far more still, gentle music or catching up with interesting stuff I really…

This is LotR
My later primary school days were dominated by LotR and I was given this poster by one of my mum’s friends who had glued it to a poster-sized piece of heavy wood. It remained propped up in my bedroom through my teenage years. It’s by Jimmy Caulty who drew it at the age of seventeen…

Medway Fifties SF Club
Just discovered that a group of SF enthusiasts formed the Medway Science and Fantasy Club in the early 1950s with a bookshop in Gillingham, a fanzine and even hosted its own convention, Medcon. Ron Hansen maintains incredibly interesting pages documenting the history of the group and the FANAC Fan History Project hosts pdfs of their…

The Best-Kept Secret
Being an easy pushover for a good UFO book (something I’ve not shaken since my childhood), I’ve just read Jacques Vallée’s and Paola Harris’ Trinity: The Best-Kept Secret. It’s an account of a hitherto unknown UFO crash in San Antonio in 1945 very close to Ground Zero where the Manhattan Project had tested the first…

Goodbye, Things
Just read Goodbye, Things by Fumio Sasaki which advocates an extreme form of extreme ascetic minimalism. Fumio argues that through discarding material possessions other than those that are absolutely essential is the path to happiness. I can’t disagree with most of Sasaki’s advice but feel that it’s aimed at much younger adults without families. He’s clear…

But what’s gone on, what can I see? You’re all getting mugged by the aristocracy But what’s gone on, what can I see? You’re all getting mugged by the right wing beast. I had a long car journey today which gave me the chance to listen to UK Grim, Sleaford Mods’ new release. Aside from…
