The Tearoom of Despair

Do you often sing or whistle, just for fun?

This is the Tearoom of Despair: Writing about books, music and other weird shit


The day we saw the Loch Ness Monster


True Stories


Me and Robert Smith


Wold Newman (or: The Ubiquitous Doctor Shade)


I'm not a foodie, but I'm up for anything


Iron Maiden: Barren wastes and decaying grins


Tying the world together (and getting your end away) with Philip Jose Farmer


Life inside the Kiwi culture clash


This marriage is getting dorkier by the day


I hate my computer and my computer hates me


This one-person book club is harder than it looks


Paperbacks From Hell: The sweet smell of rot


Teh-mook-ah


Pulp: Catch us at it, in the front room


Such a fucking nerd


Writing abut writing: Everything I've ever done, everything I ever do


No time for computer games


Happy to be the token boy


This lack of bookshop is bad for everybody


Fred Dagg's Meaning Of Life


Censorship can really fuck you up


How to find new music: No context, all feeling


The secret origin of the Tearoom of Despair
