Thinking today of the peerless Barbara Comyns (1907 - 1992). A wonderful, visionary writer, best known today for her extraordinary novella The Vet's Daughter (1959). Her biography, by Avril Horner, was published earlier this year - nice review here: literaryreview.co.uk/her-family-o...

I've written a review of @coldtapfilms.bsky.social superb Studio Electophonique book for @nowthenmag.bsky.social about Sheffield's legendary studio run by Ken Patten and the embryonic emergence of Sheffield's electronic music scene. It is a wonderful read.
"There’s always been an edge to Sheffield’s music scene... yet, as we find out via Jamie Taylor’s (@coldtapfilms.bsky.social) excellent investigative work, a large part of those musical foundations were laid in a suburban house in the early 1960s"

Jamie Taylor - Studio Electrophonique: The Sheffield Space Age, from the Human League to Pulp
Jamie Taylor’s exploration into Sheffield’s embryonic electronic and alternative music scene is a time capsule filled with fascinating anecdotes, anarchy and plenty of humour.

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.
And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.
There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.
If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.
