Day 611


Aka Wednesday 3rd October 

Hey, hey, hey, it’s New Comic Book Day and look at what gems of excellence and joy and scares I got:




…I also got this album, 'Solipsism' by Mike Simonetti, which collects (mostly) unreleased tracks from his Italians Do It Better days, which broadly divide into house (sometimes with a touch of disco, sometimes with a touch of techno) and electronica, capturing that early ‘90’s Warp IDM sound, boarding on an atmospheric armchair listening. A very enjoyable album. 7/10.


…and I did the G2 crossword:


…which went took a slight nosedive as I needed to cheat on a third of the clues (six out of 18), but I did learn that a ‘male hairdresser’ is  a ‘coiffeur’ (I thought it was a barber), I should have gotten ‘puffball’ from ‘fungus that discharge a cloud of spores when mature’ and ‘kitty’ from ‘pool to be won’, through I’d argue that the clue for 13 across should have had an (abbr) with it.
