Just a few quick links here – possibly I’ll do a BFAW tomorrow, but I’m finding it hard to think in this sweltering heat. Someone please turn off the light in the big blue room?
Nina Stone has a review of Detective 854.
Anton Vowl thinks that when Richard Desmond dies we should “stick a camera right [...]

My wife was earlier asking me to help her with a music quiz one of her friends had posted where you had to name the song from the lyric. Since I’m too hot to post coherently today, I thought I’d do one of those, but with a slight twist. All the lyrics below are the [...]

Just a quick one today as I’m visiting my parents…
Jess Nevins has the best piece I’ve read on the death of Michael Jackson, treating Jackson’s life as a Gothic text on which to perform literary analysis.
Patrick at Lib Dem Voice is calling for a repeal of section 141 of the Mental Health Act, which states [...]

Sometimes there are comics that you can review before even reading them, and I was half tempted to do that with the two comics I’m going to review here. Going in, I knew exactly what I was going to get with these two comics, both part of the line-wide Batman revamp. Both feature female leads, [...]

Let me tell you about two telephone companies. One, let us call them Bastard Telecom, are bastards. If you can get connected at all, rather than getting delays and crossed lines, as we did, then just pray you never have any problems with your internet. For example if you simultaneously have a line problem *and* [...]

I’ve been offline for a while, as you may have noticed, but having caught up with a tiny percentage of my regular blogs, here’s what’s caught my eye.
Powerpop Criminals has uploaded two superb compilations of late-90s powerpop to Rapidshare, featuring bands like Wondermints, The Negro Problem, Baby Lemonade, Randell Kirsch and Carolyn Edwards. There’s some [...]

BT are even more incompetent than I made them out to be last week. It will be at least another week – possibly two – before I have home internet again (I’ve now registered with a different provider…)
I’ll try to update this during that time, but no promises…

There’s a reason why I haven’t posted anything much this week (despite being my most successful week ever in terms of page-views – lots of people looking for information on UKIP’s racism *after* the elections. Thanks for that. Very helpful). That’s because it’s been one of those weeks where the universe conspires against me.
So far [...]

This gets its own post because it’s so utterly bizarre… how many of you knew that there used to be a Woody Allen newspaper comic strip?
No, honestly. It really exists.
This comic ran for *eight years*. Not only that, a book of the comics was released (and is going to be reissued, which is how [...]

Because I’m still too furious about the Bastard Nazi Party and racist UKIP getting seats, I can’t possibly write about something as pure and good as Seaguy. Not while the acid indigestion is so bad that I can’t even think. I’ll do a Seaguy review tomorrow if I have the stomach for it, and some [...]
