Exceptionally specific observation but...

Does anyone else who's playing the new Art School Girlfriend album today, and who has played a good amount of Death Stranding 2, really get Magellan Arriving vibes off the track 'Almost Transparent'?

He just won't let it lie

It was a *terrible* review, the sort of piece you look back on 20 years later (nearly) and think wow, thank goodness that writer got better.

I mean me, I'm the writer here. Calvin Harris still makes awful music.

Calvin Harris pre-emptively blocked me, with no interaction on said platform, because he remains bothered by a really shitty review I wrote of his debut album. I live in his head, etc. I knew nothing of this til the other year but can no longer provide evidence as I left the bird site ages ago.

Chant his name into a mirror (hung in the dank hallway of an exceptionally overpriced miseryhole of a bedsit somewhere in a high NW postcode) and he may appear.

1: the encounter-over *dong* from Gears of War

Also, not sure why it says languages other than English on the Amazon listing. It's only in English.

I mean 40% *off*. It's a big, beautiful book. A feast for the eyeballs. And so far it's exclusively had 5* reviews, so, it must be alright.

Here's a talk I did about said book and its games, and a sort of interview with me, courtesy of @visitthecave.bsky.social ...

My book on 1980s electronic games, From Coin-Ops to Table-Tops, featuring all sorts of Nintendo, Grandstand, Tomy goodness, is currently 40% on the big online book shop. As discussed (and heard, sort of) on last week's @onelifeleft.com , it's a good un, I think...

Can you DM me your address? We'll sort it there. Cheers!

Sorry I totally missed this! But I may have a spare copy in storage if you're still keen?

Not a name that'll fill any authors with confidence.

Ring Fitted this morning after 160 days off...

Sold out, cheers all.

Oh nice, glad it got there so speedily.

Two(!) copies left.

TY again to everyone who's ordered a copy - those will be in the post at the end of this week.

Sold more copies of this, on here/FB, in the last week than were sold through usual retailers in the last 6 months.

28? 28!?

Just celebrating some awesome women before the day is done.

He's fun* (*damentally flawed)

Every TF liker should experience this mould once.

DM me and we can arrange it, cheers.

I remember this song getting some nasty criticism at release / as part of Up reviews. Too schmaltzy, a little creepy? Don't be silly. It's gawjus.

Down to five copies of The Console left here, on hand - copies I can sell to you for £15 posted.

Cheers to people who've bought a copy over the last week - I lugged them up the hill to the post office yesterday, so they're on their way to you now.

Want a copy? Lmk, and it can be done.

He's not wrong tho. (Love this.)

Not even trying.

Kids these days don't know they're born.

I don't buy as much as I'd like to, but a few splurges per year keep me ticking over. Tbh I don't have the space to buy more. (And definitely no space to go vinyl over CD.)

Some CDs I just bought, by The Armed, They Are Gutting a Body of Water, HEALTH, Water From Your Eyes, Daniel Avery and Jamie XX. The last one was 3 quid so go on then, chuck it in.

It's me, the guy who buys CDs.

Ah, yes, the pulsating rhythmical remedy.

It'll never not sound incredible.
