"How was it at Goblin Market last month, Ed?" Maybe this sketch will evoke the essence of my joyous sojourn behind the table at Stanley Arts in Norwood. Many thanks to Hannah and Mo.

Step right up, step right up, get there early to avoid disappointment.

Beat the crowds and check out Windy Wilberforce, Illegal Batman, and Primitif!

I'll be at #WinchesterComicsFair on Saturday. I've made a limited reprinting of this catalogue item from 2016, now with colour covers and a more informative title. (Previous version on the left). Only available from my table, not in my shop! However, how many Pinsent completists can there be?

Last night's spin. I love Stravinsky's music, but worry that Tilson Thomas is doing too much to knock off the corners and sweeten the deal in some sort of "populist" bid. Even the cutesy cover art is saying "Hey, modernism can be fun!"

Tonight's listening. Wish I had a vinyl copy of this 1984 album! Tons of loopy DIY tape collage and reverb malarkey disrupt normal listening, as Chadbourne rips through his satirically-barbed song lyrics. The guitar playing is Derek Bailey spliced with rockabilly licks.

Don't forget to come to Goblin Market Small Press Fair Stanley Arts in SE25 tomorrow (Sun 19th Oct), where I will have a table loaded with goodies old and new. I published three comics this year! Doors open at 12 - a roomful of unique creators await ye!

Saw these on Millbank today. Apparently they're Egyptian Geese. Beautiful markings! They were also very vocal, honking and hissing as if to say "step aside, buddy".

This jolly cut-out puppet just back from the printer's yesterday. I assembled one tonight! He's held together with brass paper fasteners.

Another Burra snap from the Tate Britain show, this one for all the cat lovers. From one of his letters - this sketch captures the discerning taste of the feline. "Milko" was I think a common expression once, a cry often heard when the milkman came to deliver. (It's in Passport to Pimlico)

I am delighted by this insightful and considered review of the new Wilberforce comic. Many thanks to Ben Williams of Comic Book news UK. He has correctly recognised the importance of dreams in my work.

Tonight's spin, disc one of "The Alchemist of Pop". Very strong comp by Bob Stanley and Roger Dopson. Some songs reminded me of Morricone's "western" pop songs that got remade into Leone soundtracks. Maybe it's the "operatic" backing vocals and bright orchestras.

Just a reminder that the new Wilberforce comic was published last week. Don't like to blow my own trombone, but I'm very pleased with this panel. Multiple picture planes!

Followers who enjoy post-punk noise (and you know who you are), hear this murderous disc if you can! Short CD of insane French improv-noise-rock! Available from Fou Records!

Charity shop find of the day, £1.99 for this nice piece of contemporary classical music from 1984 on Hyperion. Inside, found a leaflet for the Robert Simpson Society (£5 annual membership!). Cover's a bit scuffed, but plays beautifully. "Grave, Molto Intensivo" indeed.

TSP Radio is back on the air tomorrow afternoon on @resonancefm.bsky.social . Tune in for a fine selection of Autumnal rousselments, as I concoct my 15th prog-rock show. The usual suspects from RCA Neon LPs...I can't help spinning them every September.
