World Cup 2018 – Third Place Play-off
A great weight was lifted on Wednesday evening. The personal consequences of the game were large - I no longer have to fear being in England while they win the Coca Cola. The national implications could be greater - will the mediocre placing of 4th temper the rise of nationalism? Could losing to a minnow … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Third Place Play-off

Jesus H. Christ. This world cup will be remembered as one of the many world cups. And by football fans, one of the better world cups.

Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.

Like many other fans I've tried to excavate the loss of a hero by pouring over the archives of alternate projects, B-sides, interviews and the old classics. The more I watch and listen, the more things seem to make … Continue reading Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.

World Cup 2018 – Day 8
Summer in the British Isles is a curious thing, you spend months wishing for it in all its glory and then spend the days inside watching football when it arrives. Or I do, anyway. In an effort to avoid this exact situation, I made plans to excommunicate myself. A timely homage to Stalinist Russia. My … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Day 8
