I had no idea I was still subscribed to mono.kultur. That was a pleasant surprise.

OPERATIONS: Not sure where the month has gone. Outlining today, scripting for the rest of the week, and I’ll see where I am by Sunday. Side projects for the evenings. Waking hours are full.
STATUS: I feel like I’m fighting off a bug. This always happens when I clear the deck to start a new production schedule. One day all fired up, next day too exhausted and dragging to follow through. Probably just a bit broken from three days’ heavy work outside.
READING: ROAST FIGS SUGAR SNOW, Diana Henry, a classic autumn/winter cookbook. (UK) US+)
LISTENING: Unclassified
LAST WATCHED: THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC (1928) on the BFI Player

THINKING ABOUT:

Yesterday a mirror slithered from its nail and fell to the floor and lay there reflecting the ceiling. It’s small, didn’t break, and looked like it was enjoying the change of scene. Now, when I pass, the wall blanks me, which gives a tiny shock of bereavement, though I’m not sure who has died.

CAIRN, Kathleen Jamie

I believe this is the Bloody Ploughman apple tree.

OPERATIONS: wrote a prologue for UNCODENAMED SIDE PROJECT that I’m not sure I like, building the shape again of UNCODENAMED ONE-SHOT COMMISSION because I didn’t like the first shape, processed a quick consult first thing, processed deal memo notes. Looking to go offline tomorrow and spend the day on taming the garden a bit. If I go in the garden, I will definitely be offline, because the local mobile network is fucked again and there’s no data if I go outside…!
READING: Finally finished the Kojeve book.
LISTENING: LATE JUNCTION
LAST WATCHED: THE FALKLANDS PLAY, NIGHT OF THE HUNTED

ARRIVED: NEURAL

TLS 6301

Published January 4, 2024 by Warren Ellis

I used to get this on Kindle, but they stopped the service. And the TLS iPad app is awful – I’ve had it for a month and it’s never finished loading properly. So here I am, back to reading it on paper. TLS and LRB have for years been my chief vectors for finding new books.

LRB 46/1

Published December 28, 2023 by Warren Ellis

Speaking of deciding when to get away from screens – I cracked and got myself a print/digital subscription to the LRB after the Kindle service was ended by Amazon. First one just arrived.

THE MODERNIST 48

Published October 4, 2023 by Warren Ellis

THE MODERNIST is always a beautiful object.

Music and modernism are inextricably linked and in this issue we take you on an adventure in the land of music (and modernism)

We travel across all genres, across continents and up down the scales to bring you an electric and thrilling set of articles.

Euan Lynn digs deep into the circuit boards and transistors of synthesizers whilst Tom Clarke takes us on a photographic journey of working mens clubs in the North East of England.

We travel to Perth, Australia with Alex Boyd to look at its concert hall and Ian Waites joins Scott Walker on a metaphorical walk through the city.

Sharonjit Sutton wanders the Dallas suburbs with Talking Heads and Ben Britton takes us on a musical trip on the Moscow metro system.

Its a wild ride – so cut the mid-range and turn up the bass.

Music is the answer.
