  • Cover of The Husbands by Holly Gramazio, with tagline 'you wait ages for The One... then 203 come along at once'. Five-colour poster art shows a woman wearing a sleeveless top, long skirt, and trainers using a hand saw to cut through a ladder which stretches up through the title and at the top of which we can just make out the trousered legs of a man, climbing past a pendant light.

    The Husbands by Holly Gramazio

    One of the best books I've read so far this year (although my review is about three months late!) was Holly Gramazio's debut novel, The Husbands. A proper page-turner that keeps you engaged through all of its twists and turns, I can't recommend it strongly enough.

  • AI-generated EP cover of Built In Obsolescence by PAIgan Wanderer Lu, showing a neon digital outline of Andy.

    Built In Obsolescence

    Pagan Wanderer Lu's released a cover album of his own music, where the cover artist is... AI. Some of the songs have come out quite well, and it gives me cognitive dissonance to enjoy art while disliking what its process represents.

    Egg and Dispatch

    I don't get much time for videogames, so when I find the opportunity to complete not one but two games within a single month, you know my recommendation of them holds some weight! Let me tell you about 'Egg', and 'Dispatch'.

    sophie reviews Psynwav - Musical Transients

    After sharing the album yesterday, today I found a review of Musical Transients which 100% echoes my experience of this amazing concept album. Spoiler warning: there are themes in the album that I think are most-fun to discover as you listen to it, but if you already did, or if you're not going to anyway, then you might as well read my and sophie's thoughts about it now.

  • Close-up in-game screenshot of Aloy, the protagonist of Horizon: Forbidden West, drawing back an arrow in her bow.

    2024 in Videogames

    With my busy schedule, I appreciate a video game that I can pick-up-and-drop at will and a prefer depth rather than quantity of content. This year, I've played and can recommend three games in particular - Horizon: Forbidden West, Thank Goodness You're Here!, and Tactical Breach Wizards.

  • In a church hall, its walls decorated with colourful cloths, Dan and Ruth stand in a large circle of people, watching a man and a woman preparing to demonstrate some tango steps.

    It Takes Two

    At the weekend, Ruth and I travelled to Edinburgh to attend a tango class for which we were in no-way qualified. We learned a lot, but mostly because we knew very little to begin with!

  • Tick Tock screenshot showing a mysterious machine with many buttons. The machine is switched on and the screen shows a wolf's head and the number "-2". The buttons show a bug, an hourglass, a snake, a wolf's head, a keyhole, a cog, a raven, a doll, and a section of railway track.

    I Made My Shed the Top Rated Restaurant On TripAdvisor

    Once upon a time, long before I began selling my face by the acre for features on VICE dot com, I worked other jobs. There was one in particular that really had an impact on me: writing fake reviews on TripAdvisor. Restaurant owners would pay me ยฃ10 and I'd write a positive review of their โ€ฆ
