• Ah, Sauternes, my old enemy. We meet again. #

The excellent short fiction of Gareth Powell, collected for the first time, from Elastic Press. I wrote a back cover blurb for this: "Just the way sf should work."

Yoda’s House, as featured on a couple of 4am broadcasts, have released their first album into the wild as a free download. I’ve described them before as "a sort of thumping, organic postrock," heavily rhythmic, sprawling and explorative but never losing the plot. Everything they do sounds like a soundtrack for the end of the world to me. I love them.

Also, their pieces have titles like DER ROBOTERGEIST.
