Never on here anymore, but sent this to my representative @GregCasar tonight. I don’t pretend this amounts to much, but doing nothing seems even more futile.

Today is the memorial for my friend, Julie. This piece comes closest to capturing what she was like in real life and a reminder to me to practice shamelessness.

20 years ago today we lost Kirsty MacColl. Some write great songs, some are great singers, others are great to hang with, but you seldom find all three in the same person. But that's who Kirsty was and she is sorely missed by her family, friends and fans. youtube.com/watch?v=Wuzzw7el…

25 years ago this week Pulp placed this advert in the music press. It had the desired effect on a group of lads in a lower 6th common room at a school in Hitchin as @Themightyjones @nickglenn79 @GilesBentley and myself (plus a couple more) bought Wembley tickets.
Who else went?

Well worth a read.
The stakes are now clear: to create a political economy fit for the demands of the anthropocenic era to come.
