Watched Season 1 of Slow Horses maybe 3 years ago. Really didn't grasp it at the time, hadn't bothered with it since. But after reading about it here & there thought I'd give it another bash.
Loving it now. Better to be late to the party than not be there at all.

That takes me back...read a fair bit of Spinrad back in the day, Bug Jack Barron, The Iron Dream, Agent of Chaos etc. Here's my copy of The Men in the Jungle, 1978 print.

Arrived today. My tastes are clearly mellowing as I get older. Live material on discs 2 & 3 sounds great!

Yes album from 2021 - The Quest. I'm not well versed in Yes' recorded work over the last 20 years, but given that Amazon were knocking the limited edition deluxe art book+2CD+blu ray audio package out for just over a fiver in their Spring Deals it was worth taking a punt at that price.

Halfway through reading this. One of the best music book reads I've had in ages, more than a few laughs as Rick Astley looks back. Recommended.

Grateful Dead poster, which I bought in some Glasgow record shop or other in the late 70s. Must get round to framing this one of these days.
