New book announcement! I'm currently working on my DREAM PROJECT, a book provisionally called 'TINSEL & FIRE: The Rise and Fall of the Christmas Number One', out hopefully this time next year through the brilliant @mcnidderandgrace.bsky.social
The author and comedian Marc Burrows, with the picture cutting off just above his eyebrows. His eyes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, are peaking over the cover of the 12" LP of 'The Christmas Album', the Christmas compilation from 1985, a slightly battered record sleeve with pictures of WHAM! Paul McCartney, Roy Wood, Queen and Band Aid on it. He's holding it close. Behind him is a book case, we can just make out rock biographies and books about the charts.

The fungus that bleeds... Say hello to Fistulina hepatica. Found on oak trees, this beauty seeps a blood red sap and looks like a lump of raw meat. It also stars in Chapter 5 of The Witch, The Seed & The Scalpel. Apparently it's edible but probably best left on the tree! #gothichorror #booksky

Terri Thal, Bob Dylan's manager back in the early '60s, on how 'A Complete Unknown' misportrayed his girlfriend Suze Rotolo:

"Suze was an intelligent, young, active woman. She did not spend her time looking at Bob longingly saying, 'Who ARE you?'"

Good to see Bob Dylan's extraordinary memory highlighted here in this Terri Thal interview
What is something you don't think people know or understand about Dylan that you wish they did? "That he's a very funny guy, with a very wise sense of humor.that a lot of putting people down publicly, interviewers and stufflike that, is his way of being funny. That he has one of the most extraordinary memories of anyone Il've ever seen, Il've ever met. Bob can hear something or read something, and he can do something that I think is very unusual. He can take a piece of it, that information, immediately He can take another piece of it and put it in the back of his head so that he can use it 20 years later. And then he can take some of it and totally pitch it, so it doesn't bother him. And that is one of the things that marks -whatever kind of genius Dylan is, the things that mark him- he can pull that out, He can separate it. He can use it. I think it's a very rare quality"

Researching the new book, set in Edinburgh 1841, involved a trip to Greyfriars Kirkyard, a treasure trove of Memento Mori and other macabre details including mortsafes - a grim reminder that Edinburgh's dead did not always rest in peace...
