Thanks to the San Francisco Chronicle for listing PLANETARY Book 4: SPACETIME ARCHAEOLOGY as one of the best sf books of 2010.

I was going to do a Friday Telescreen photo call this week, because it's been a year since the last one, but then Katie West did Ass Day on Tumblr, and I thought, really, I'm not going to top that...

Natasha Allegri in "not dead" shock

Read back Laurie Penny’s twitter feed today: she was on the ground at the NUS protest in London today.

Yeeees. No, me neither. This person.

Looking forward to buying this:

Just got email telling me that the brilliant novelist Steve Aylett is doing a gig on Oct 29 2010 at Roxy Arts House, Edinburgh, wherein he will read, speak and probably worry the crap out of people. This will also be your chance to buy the insane mashup CATERER comic. I would also recommend the marvellous and mad LINT.

I’ve just heard, in the last ten minutes, from two retail locations in the UK – one a comics shop, one a bookstore — that it’s apparently impossible to order RED for their shelves.

NOT WHAT I WANT TO HEAR WHEN THE FILM OPENS HERE TOMORROW, DIAMOND COMICS DISTRIBUTORS UK.

Lili’s waiting somewhat impatiently for this. It’s not out in the UK until Guy Fawkes’ Night. But if you’re in the US, you can buy it now. If it’s even half as good as the first book set in the "Clockwork Century" space, it’s going to be the mad entertainment book of the autumn. Terrifying Steamwar Battle Trains, for god’s sake. Who doesn’t want one of those?

It appears that Kevin Thurman is writing a book entitled Voyage In Noise: Warren Ellis and the demise of Western Civilization. The Facebook page says:

We are progressing into a future of ubiquitous noise made up of poor choices and an overload of information and entertainment. Ellis’s work reflects this change and the need to progress intellectually.

I suspect this is a sign of my old age. Apparently it’s out April 2011.

UbuWeb is back up after being hacked. UbuWeb is a vital cultural resource, and I’m delighted to see it return intact.
