Liz Phair writes an impressive review of Keith Richards' autobiography.

A rant from Rhian:

I was born in the 1980s. I grew up to get away from them. The only good thing about getting older was, I fondly deluded myself, that at least it wouldn’t be the fucking, fucking 1980s anymore.

And now what have we got? A Tory Prime Minister, unemployment through the roof, pointless wars abroad, strikes, bankers still raking it in and now a fucking, fucking, fucking Royal Wedding that we’re all expected to take a blind bit of notice of because it’ll take our minds off how SHIT everything is. And we will, of course.

Sofie Buckland has apparently restarted blogging. Many years ago she wrote an excellent blog under the name of Volsunga -- then removed it, and I'm possibly the only person left fondly remembering it, and hoping for a comeback. Maybe this time?

I can't help feeling Rhian's on another planet. What, did they expect we'd never have a Tory government again??

Thank you for the link to zetkin. I don't think I've actually met Sofie, but she is a friend-of-a-friend and I very much enjoyed Volsunga.
