Very cool to learn that the mighty @insidesuk.bsky.social have just put up their majestic one-of-the-decade's-best 1993 album _Euphoria_ on Bandcamp, as well as the subsequent 45 minute single track 1994 release _Clear Skin_. Still fascinating and in their own world listening all these years on.

Progress on the art + culture kiosk shop: last month I formed a small group to help design the interior, going for a slim and modular upcycled approach, as the space is quite small and narrow. Really loving how it is coming together.

Big credit to @oldmcdougall.bsky.social’s story here in @nj.com yesterday, one of the best pieces of music journalism this year in its final month. The missing tape is the hook but this is much more about moms and daughters, art across generations and finding new spaces in older styles.
Lost cassette tape connects N.J. girl to her mom's punk legacy. She's got the whole country looking for it.
The South Jersey teen sparked a nationwide search for a tape her mom recorded 30 years ago

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

This Japanese print by an unknown artist titled 'Snow Demon' (ca. 1930s) depicts a demon or god creating snow. It seems to be part of a series depicting weather gods.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....
