I switched off the Post Kinds plugin due to “lock in” fears and so lots of links have been hidden from posts. I’m hoping that the plugin gets updated at some point to display post content differently but until then I’ll try to update individual posts manually as I come across them.
I love my new mugs from Burningshed.
Finished Reading: I Wanna Be Yours by John Cooper Clarke ⭑⭑⭑⭑✩
Funny and unsentimental memoir from Clarke but the first half on his rise to fame (or infamy) are so much better than the latter sections.
Finished Reading: Infinite Tuesday by Michael Nesmith ✭✭✭✭✩
A re-read. Everyone knows about The Monkees and how his mother invented liquid paper. This memoir also reveals how he played a big role at the start of several major technical and cultural innovations from the music video to virtual online worlds. Fascinating stuff.

He spent 30 years in Genesis as a touring drummer, but he had a falling out with Phil Collins in 2010 and they haven’t spoken since.
Excellent interview. I didn’t know about the falling out with Phil Collins till reading this.
