Help Me Out!
Read post

If anyone (ideally anyone who I see fairly regularly) has a copy of George Melly’s Revolt Into Style I could borrow, I would be very grateful. I would take very good care of it! It seems to be out of print at the moment and the asking price on […]

Read post

An interview with me about blogging. It’s a bit dry and grumpy because I did it in a rush at the end of work. There are interviews with other people too, all of whom write in Swedish: BIG UP THE SWEDISH BLOGOSPHERE! And of course the week after[…]
