/Tuesday Ten /614 /There’s No Future In Optimism
By a quirk of fate, I wrote a /Tuesday Ten on positivity eleven years ago today, and a late change of plan over the weekend as to what subject I was going to write about meant that I settled on pessimism, without realising the significance of it.
/Memory of a Festival /035 /Goth City 6 /Leeds /07-10 Jul 2022
It’s been a long time since I was last at any kind of festival in person. The last one I went to was the all-dayer 10 Ten Years of Chaos in February 2020 (/Memory of a Festival/034), and the last multi-day festival was Infest 2019 (/Memory of a Festival/033) – so with COVID still looming, […]

Memory of a Festival: 031: Goth City 3: Season of the Witch
I don’t often go to Goth Festivals for music. There, I said it. Whitby, for me, long since became a social holiday, where I catch up with old friends and play football – I only occasionally see bands there. Most of the rest of the festivals I attend, of course, are broadly industrial or electronic […]
