The shed smelt of warmth. Of trapped air and micro-debris from the surrounding garden, which had lived in the carpet off-cuts of its floor for years. As summer came again, the air remained still, in the late evening unseen rays of twilight would shine through dusty glass onto the still air. A lead-topped-peaked roof barely … Continue reading Shed Story #3

Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.
I recently wrote, in a bit of a fraught state, about the death of Scott Hutchinson. 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.
On Podcasts -Russell Brand, Ed Milliband, Sam Harris, James O’brien, Bob Mortimer, Adam Buxton, etc.
Life has been derailed by the World Cup, as evidenced by the above and below posts. As the World Cup has infested all my waking hours (not spent job hunting). Podcasts have continued with periodic certainty and somehow made me feel slightly better about life. This is an attempt to sneak in some more content and … Continue reading On Podcasts -Russell Brand, Ed Milliband, Sam Harris, James O’brien, Bob Mortimer, Adam Buxton, etc.
World Cup 2018 – Days 3-7 – Round-up
It's fair to say that with the tight schedule of football, exhaustion is setting in - for me. I managed the big Saturday and followed it up with a big Sunday - in which Mexico beat Germany! The big Saturday was a long day with lots of football, the big Sunday was a long day … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Days 3-7 – Round-up
Theory and Praxiszzzz
As I attempt to synthesise a semesters worth of sociological theory alongside a semester of unwritten posts and scribbles from a notebook, do not lose heart. There will be a point to all of this. The life of an anonymous, poorly-subscribed-to online lifestyle brand is a lonely one. The nature of living our creative existence … Continue reading Theory and Praxiszzzz
The Salon
This is a true story. Tenses may have been jumbled in an effort to maintain the corporeal sense of time which one feels when attending an appointment. Moreover, I've not got the energy to edit it too much at this stage. The following takes place a quick walk from Baker Street, past the famous … Continue reading The Salon
Interview: Reflections on an imagined future
This marks the first of a series of interviews which may or may not happen. This, the first, comprises of Mr Hummels, synonymous editor at large of soon to be global MrHummels.com (Formerly or still MrHummels.wordpress.com) grilling the future Mr Hummels who is endowed with contentment, fulfillment and success. The interview is meta as fuck … Continue reading Interview: Reflections on an imagined future
Autumn
The first shades of Autumn have swept in recently, you may have noticed? In the back of my head I've dreaded the moment when the light leaves our days and the damp, cool air returns. The summer has been fraught with wishes and movement. I've been back up to Edinburgh, making changes to life here … Continue reading Autumn
Leader vs Liar : Rumble in the Jungle – 8 days to go
8 days is not a long time. Try living in the UK. (This was an axed Smiths line.) You may have been bored before you even began, Morrissey, but it isn't going to stop me from writing about this bloody election before you can ruin it with some ill advised remarks about terrorism. Anyway, the … Continue reading Leader vs Liar : Rumble in the Jungle – 8 days to go
Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
Two weeks until voting begins. Another day, another piece of self-imposed disappointment. Life slowly ebbs away doesn't it. My coverage of this election hasn't been as exhaustive than I had originally intended but then, I ain't a professional journalist. I have a terrible job to go to. Then again, there also hasn't been a lot … Continue reading Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
