Not that Kate Bush needs improving but this is a very cool version of Hounds of Love. I’m a bit behind the times because this was released in 2005… I always thought these guys were from Scotland but they’re from Sunderland apparently

I read a few sci fi books over summer

Jack McDevitt’s Omega is about mysterious clouds that move through the universe destroying civilisations. It’s about a human quest to save one such civilisation, that is in the path of an oncoming cloud. It’s pretty classic sci fi and I enjoyed it. To McDevitt’s credit, I hadn’t […]

4. Spitballs
Some might say a spitball is not a silk purse. This is true, however I’m a sentimental beast and a spitball never fails to trigger fond high school memories of halcyon days in the classroom… boys called Dale, Darren, or Damian masticating their human biology books, and flicking their pulpy missiles at the ceiling with such prowess, such finesse […]
