This will always be the Tearoom of Despair: Writing about books, music and other weird shit


The day we saw the Loch Ness Monster


Wold Newman (or: The Ubiquitous Doctor Shade)


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


The six-minute clean-up


Happy to be the token boy


How to find new music: No context, all feeling


Spider solitaire: You have to cheat to win


Mothmen and missing girls: When the mysteries were just down the road


Inside the Majestic


I only drink at funerals now


Old toys are the best toys


Music videos in the dead of night


I still think digital watches are neat


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


No fear like a nuclear fear


Fred Dagg's Meaning Of Life


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


A walking man


Me and Robert Smith


The secret origin of the Tearoom of Despair


This marriage is getting dorkier by the day

Pulp: Catch us at it, in the front room


I was a teenaged arsehole


Paperbacks From Hell: The sweet smell of rot


Iron Maiden: Barren wastes and decaying grins


These are the last tapes

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


Wrestling with Superstars


The last CD at Disc Den


Goodbye, Readers Book Exchange


The ancient and lovely shelving of Skara Brae


True Stories


I have very strong opinions about pies
