But enough about me! How about Sly and the Family Stone, Eddie Piller, the King's Road (site of my first job, but really, enough about me), The Byrds, and much more besides? You'd be reading it already if you subscribed.

Shindig! No.137
On newsstands this very day! Shindig! magazine No.137 with Hipgnosis, Altin Gün, Wattstax, David Crosby deep cuts, and The Jeff Beck Group. And this month my Vinyl Art column heads to Zagreb.
If you were a subscriber, you'd have been having all this fun last week.

Shindig! No.134
It's the Shindig! magazine end-of-year issue featuring Aphrodite's Child, The Spencer Davis Group, frosty winter sounds, and the seasonal love-in that is the 2022 Writers' Poll. My non-xmas-themed Vinyl Art column, on the other hand, is just plain Bull.

Arts Society Granta
Next Monday I'll be at the Arts Society Granta in Cambridge, talking about clothes on film. Looking forward to it enormously!

Shindig! No.131
Terrific cover story in this month's Shindig! magazine, out today, on the true rebel rock royalty that is Marianne Faithfull. Superb stuff throughout of course, including more Arthur Brown, Misty, The Lemon Pipers, Dennis Hopper - plus I get TWO pages to play with for a special Vinyl Art, for which I was lucky enough to enter the rarefied orbit of the wonderful Cathy Young. Snap this one up, or better yet - subscribe!

The Sound of Fear
Assuming
that they've bent the railway lines back into shape, I'll be heading up
to King's Lynn on Friday to talk for two hours about music in horror
films, before the evening screening of Nosferatu with live music from Minima Music.
