Britain’s favourite author has graduated from cosy crime to full on gruesome horror.

I’m a broken record on this, but Janet Jackson is the most underrated pop musician of the last 50 years.

A huge amount of the social, confessional and sonic templates that we revere in pop now were modelled by her.

( also one of the most thrilling dancers )

PARTY TIP

If someone talks to you for too long about sport, just casually replace the word “kit” with “costume” in your responses.

“ I’m glad Arsenal are having a good season, not least because I really like their away costume” etc

BOOM! CLAP!

If you ever want to REALLY viscerally understand the phrase “there’s levels to the game” … try singing along to a peak-era Luther Vandross song

It’s insanely hard to even approximate

And the lad just sounds so casual and smooth and controlled

He’s moonwalking up mountains 🤯

South London 👁️🌊🌆📉⚡️event next week

Just to remind you on Thursday 2nd May we are looking forward to talking with author Keiran Goddard. You should come, his novel I SEE BUILDINGS FALL LIKE LIGHTNING is great. Keiran wrote this generous article The Guardian which gives you a taste theguardian.com/books/2024/feb…

Bought this as soon as it came out but just started it last night and already love it - though I suspect you are going to break my heart with this one Keiran Goddard?

I got so much out of this book by George The Poet 🇺🇬

Beautifully written, angry and gentle, and beyond its primary subject, a masterclass in how to remain open to developing and deepening one’s politics and learning over time - emotionality generous and forgiving.

Loving this picture of Tupac wagging his finger at Biggie

( not pictured - the CIA plotting to kill Pac )

Calling them “essential” oils feels like a bit of an over-claim.

Something so depressing about this library sign

Overlayed decline.

Palimpsest of neglect.
