a fairly alarming autobiography (people die, love fails, bad philosophy is taught)

here we have gillian rose  interviewed by andy o'mahony for RTE  in her hands that's the hardback edition of love's work. (horsemouth used to own a similar copy). 

but it is the painting the artist's home at lyngby by  carl holsøe that graces the cover in its penguin modern classics paperback edition that horsemouth now owns. 

this perfect domestic interior makes the book look much more calm  and tasteful than it is (it is in fact a fairly alarming autobiography - people die, love fails, bad philosophy is taught). the RTE radio interview recaps most of this. 

horsemouth would like to reconstruct his perfect domestic interior (lots of wood, lots of books). he was thinking about how to bring back more shelving (him and his hand trolley), but maybe that's not the right way to think about doing it.


dj shadow (midnight in a perfect world) has been heading out on tour. he's finally back up at the number of gigs per year he had in 2020 but travel costs have gone up and he ends up giving most of the money to the travel industry. the venues are still suffering, bumping along.
