Electronic Book Lovers vs. The Page-Sniffers
Laurence fondles the leather-effect binding of his complete works of Shakespeare, ‘a part of our heritage’, simultaneously using the volumes to display his refinement and his guest’s lack of taste. If the book goes digital, perhaps it makes this act of snobbery performed in Mike Leigh’s ‘Abigail’s Party’ less likely. A couple of new technical
‘Sarah Palin’ is an anagram of ‘Sharia Plan’
Sometimes you look at a name and you just know there is an anagram in there. ‘Tiger Woods’ also helps us ponder the danger of hubris with ‘I god’s tower’ and the inevitability of decay with ‘grows to die’, much like many celebrity careers.
The nth Convention (second edition) release

The number of breakages in this single trip was really quite amazing: Wheels break immediately and eventually disappear completely on
InterInterInter In Oslo Review
We had a good show in the Ultima festival, many moments like Ishiguro’s ‘the Unconsoled’ happen at these festivals, like walking in circles with some composers looking for a restaurant that happens to be below the festival office when we find one, running into a torch-lit park and into a castle then ascending a turret
H-hC poster now in USA through Asthmatic Kitty
June last year many of you will remember the show we did with Half-handed Cloud in the Foundry, where the basement was adapted to be a giant record player. The poster we released at that show has followed us ever since – at dinner with friends and at parties we are occassionally greeted by one of
