Unfortunately, due to Long Covid, I don’t have the energy to record my own music at the moment. As an alternative, I have been getting back in to making DJ mixes. I shall post some links here.

All I have left of the 1000s of books I bought from my ex-publisher's warehouse are about 200 copies of Ring The Hill. I'd *love* to get them to good homes this week.
If you're in the UK & you'd like one, for the price of your choice (any price!), pls email me your address at hello@tom-cox.com.

In every town in many places, intense weirdos who are blissfully happy to listen to one note not doing too much for a long time are getting needlessly excited upon seeing the words ‘drone show,’ only to realize it just means some silly light show.

Totally hooked on this one at the moment: Stephen Vitiello With Brendan Canty (Fugazi) And Hahn Rowe (Hugo Largo). Whole album is great, but this is a good place to start - like a Fugazi rhythm track dubbed out into post-rock.

I think this about music a lot. I'm not remotely sentimental and nostalgic about much of the music I liked when I was younger, but I am very appreciative of what some of it led me to.
Had a really fun convo with some friends the other day about what we might call Gateway Authors. These are writers that you might not care for anymore— and probably would not go for if you read them for the first time today— but that were important to revealing the possibilities of fiction to you

Book launch day! The release of your first traditionally published novel is no time for humility, so: if you care deeply about the future for human and other life on this planet and could use a passionate call to arms against today’s horrors, then ‘Birch and Jay’ is a book for you.
