I cannot put this giant tome down - I don’t think I’ve ever read anything so exuberantly, joyfully bonkers before - in the best way possible. And I’ve never read a comic where I spent so much time just drinking in the detail of every panel - Kirby was a force of nature!

The Weird Walk book is a completely delightful love letter to Britain’s standing stones and other enchanted sites. Beautiful photos, whimsical text and a sweet binding to boot!

The new King Gizzard album drop at midnight was a total godsend! It’s like a long-lost rock concept album from 1973 was recovered from a time capsule - something along the lines of Love’s Reel to Real or a Savoy Brown disc with a heaping dose of orchestra. Loving it! #KingGizzard #PhantomIsland
