This map of London’s literary characters features three of mine: Lonely Werewolf Girl, Lux the Poet & Alby Starvation. Close to the large Hercule Poirot near the foot of the map in the centre. I’m pleased some of my characters are here. The illustrator’s site is at bit.ly/3Y1NDad

Thanks to the person who attended The End of Definition & gave Katy the issue of The Face that contained a feature about Rational Records & Article 58. The first record played by NUNK in his set at Edinburgh College of Art was the Article 58 single released on Rational. Kosmische!

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

R.I.P. Soo Catwoman. I am so sorry to hear about this. Soo Catwoman (Susan Lucas) was such a notable figure, one of the most famous images of the whole punk era.
