The Tearoom of Despair

Do you often sing or whistle, just for fun?

Monday, December 28, 2020

This is still 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)

Spider solitaire: You have to cheat to win

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

Faith No More: Do you often sing or whistle, just for fun?

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 about 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

The ancient and lovely shelving of Skara Brae

Fred Dagg's Meaning Of Life


Censorship can really fuck you up

Baird's Bookshop was the best bookshop

How to find new music: No context, all feeling


The secret origin of the Tearoom of Despair
