I fully realise that I’m way behind in updating my sidebar. There’s lots of excellent new music sitting on my desk and getting lots of listening - so reports on the new Hrvatski & Keith Fullerton Whitman albums (Japanese versions with extra tracks!), various items on the Morr Music label and related, the wonderful new Fennesz CD on Touch, and plenty more are coming! Links galore as usual, but I’m at work now so I can’t supply.

While we’re at it, I’ll update the reading section too, but I’ve finished the first Ken MacLeod book, The Sky Fraction, which was interesting (relatively) near-future speculation with lots of socialist and libertarian politics thrown in. There was a worrying amount of anti-Green sentiments, but Charles Stross assures me in email that Ken MacLeod changes his views about as often as the rest of us change our underwear (I’ll check the quote in my email when I get home), and the 4th book is apparently partially set in a future green utopia. The second book, The Stone Canal, is absolutely fantastic so far!
