Ken Campbell: The Great Caper
Last week, that most respected of British broadcasting institutions – Radio 4 – let its hair down, took a huge toke of Alamout Black and briefly turned into Radio Fnord: Robert Anton Wilson was on Book of the Week. Well, indirectly at least. It wasn’t a serialisation of a Wilson classic like the Illuminatus! trilogy, [...]
Dirty Bristow
The debut issue of Dirty Bristow magazine is now on sale. It’s a beautiful looking thing – as magazine’s go, it’s definitely a looker – and features an article wot I wrote and an illustration wot I drew and lots of great stuff by very talented people. You can find out more about it [...]
Seamlessly following on from my previous post, this appeared on The Guardian’s Music Blog back in 2007: Opening this Thursday, a new exhibition at London’s Art Vinyl gallery, entitled De-Face Value, will showcase hand-painted re-workings of [Phil Collins'] No Jacket Required LP sleeve by artists and musicians… No explanation required.

Latitude Festival 2009: Not Watching The Watchmen
It’s Saturday afternoon, Clare and the kids are back at the family campsite and I’m sitting in the Film & Music Arena at this year’s Latitude Festival watching a short film about sheep. That’s not what I’m really there to see, you understand; I’m actually waiting for the marvellous singer-songwriter and comic book artist Jeffery [...]
Latitude 2009
Clare and I will be taking Lily and Edie to the family-friendly Latitude Festival in Suffolk next week. This will be the first time we’ve taken the kids to a festival, which means – of course – that it’s time for me to clean up my act. My traditional festival-going holding pattern of hedonistic self-indulgence [...]
