  • Watched the brilliant Daniel Kitson last night on his Tour Of Empty Theatres. As he promised in that blurb, it was “funnier than it sounds” but made me miss being at a live show so much.

  • On collaborative zines

    Countdown clocks, zines, and an imagined website from 2001 (Interconnected)

    There’s a website from 2001 for making zines with your friends that, at this point, only exists in my head, if it ever existed honestly, but I wish it were in the world, because in this age of WhatsApp and Slack and whatever, we need it

    I love Matt Webb’s idea for a collaborative web zine with a defined publishing schedule. The first website we built, way back in the 90s, followed that model complete with issues and deadlines. It didn’t need to, but we were coming from the world of print and hadn’t yet learned to produce any other way.

  • The Talking Politics podcast spinoff series, History of Ideas is as good as you would expect. Listening to the one on Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan which I found really bizarre and impenetrable when I studied it at uni, but makes a lot more sense with a chunk of life under my belt.

  • Two great pieces on the virtue of adaptability. The current crisis is just one challenge to our ability to adapt, there will be many more. Adapting is hard and like all hard things you need to practice.

  • Around this time of year Headphone Commute’s Best of … list drifts out like a slow, evolving chord. Lots of lovely ambience to discover, but so far Grønland by Glåsbird is a real standout for me.
