Go get this album right now, it's fantastic.

The one thing that doesn't stand up in Josie & The Pussycat is where Josie says "great ramen!" and she's eating a bowl of obviously plain noodles. But that's THE ONLY THING.

Josie and the Pussycats still extremely good

Unrelated, but this feels like the perfect thread to note that I was diagnosed with OCD last year.

It's been a while since I've read it. I recall it being fairly entertaining, but I don't consider it being "official", even though it is!

Whiffy as in not so good. It was written much later (1988) and retcons some stuff. Plus it has all this odd stuff about the Masters hypnotising humans with a TV programmed called The Trippy Show!

The seller also threw in the first book in this TV tie-in edition (which I'm pretty sure is the edition I first read the series in). So I guess I'm collecting these next.

I now have four copies of The White Mountains. Five if you count the audiobook.

I also ended up with the omnibus edition, in the same style.

At some I ended up picking up the slightly whiffy prequel novel in exactly the same cover art I remember from school. So I started collecting that set too. Got the last one today.

I love John Christopher's Tripods novels, so a while back sought out the trilogy with these funky early 70s covers.

Revisiting the '80s version of Day of the Triffids and lemme tell you, it's still an absolute banger. One of my earliest memories of being scared by TV.

Come to 'At The Back Of The North Wind' in Whitby's Flowergate Hall this Friday 6th March! Folklore and fun, pay what you fancy, and I'll tell you all about THE BEATING BLACK HEART OF WHORLTON CASTLE, a terrifying ghost story relayed to me by my teacher Mr Hirst in this very spot in 1984.

Really good album, this.

Mandy, Indiana - Urgh album cover. A human head with different layers illustrated in differing colours.

'Where Mandy, Indiana’s 2023 debut, I’ve Seen A Way, had a hazy, cinematic quality; Urgh is heavier and stranger, with Alex MacDougall’s expressive drumming bringing a Lightning Bolt-like intensity'

Mandy, Indiana - Urgh is a Quietus Album of the Month for February 2026

Yeah, I've heard it a few tomes now and don't know what to make of it. Feels like it might be a grower.

Nice one! Quite affordable, too. Will check that out.

What software are you using there, Luke?

Lots of people saying Gorton and Denton represents this and that in ideological, policy terms. But, really, I don't think I can stress enough how much of a draw "a normal person who lives round here and has a normal job" is compared to "careerist toady bussed in from the Westminster circle-jerk".

Threads is the worst social media app. The most conspiracy-pilled, and home to the most performative bad takes for engagement. I have an account to keep my username, basically, which also autoposts my Instagram pics. Now getting weird men thirsting on a photo my Dad took of my mum in 1962.

When my last publisher went bust I thought this book was destined to be out of print forever, but infinite thanks to the folks at Lost in Cult for bringing it back to life.

New chapters! New insights! New full colour illustrations! Lavish production values! Beautiful typesetting!

One of the most incredible pieces of British fantasy art ever created, Les Edwards cover for the Fighting Fantasy gamebook Daggers of Darkness, featuring a muscled bald man, wearing like a leather harness and demon's head metal codpiece (basically he looks like he's late for a Judas Priest concert) riding across a lake or sea or something improbable on the back of two sabre tooth tigers. Oh yes he has a large eagle and spiked mace/flail too. Over which has been laid the text "Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks."
