Happy birthday The Poisonous Euros Atmosphere Fan! Her great friend Lynsey Hanley has written about Dawn in her new intro to the seminal ‘Estates’. We did an event LRB Bookshop to coincide with Dawn’s last birthday, which concluded with a list of ‘brilliant book ideas’ she jotted down in her notebook.
Me & Jonathan Nunn enjoyed a raucous hour on Cursed Objects talking about the Nineties, New Labour & the Naked Chef, with delicious Dan Hancox & Kasia Tee. The only podcast to mention both Fredric Jameson & Toploader’s seminal debut album Onka’s Big Moka open.spotify.com/episode/0WuBMj…
Immensely enjoyed speaking with Dr. Joanna Abeyie MBE Lucy Pilkington Marcus Ryder shaminder nahal & Miranda Wayland on the state of British broadcasting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. Thanks to Royal Television Society & Angela Ferreira ( A Joy Media) for organising a scintillating (& occasionally fiery) debate.
Go and give money to Resonance FM –– consistently the most interesting radio station in London, to which my bedroom radio is locked, and an incubator for hundreds of brilliant projects. It keeps the good London alive and out of the jaws of blandness and conformity. It is a gem.
