The first part of the latest Guardian Books podcast begins with a live performance and interview with Kristin Hersh, who discusses her critically-acclaimed Paradoxical Undressing memoir. The book is based on the diary that she kept as an 18 year old, which was a somewhat eventful year in her life (to put it very mildly).

I’ve watched the first 23 minutes of this 56 minute video, and I plan to catch the rest of it later today. I’ve enjoyed it so far, although I feel that a number of his extrapolations are somewhat fanciful. Here’s one comment from a Boing Boing user: “Good god almighty is this guy rambling.

Anti-MMR campaigner gets a hammering on Aussie... →
Australian radio presenter Tracey Spicer gives an object lesson in how to deal with these malignant nutters. She’s actually researched her topic, something very few interviewers in the media here seem to do. It is a brilliant interview and it’s well worth a listen.

It’s the sort of phrase that many people could have devised entirely independently of each other. However, there is no doubt about who brought this particular epithet to prominence; back in 1981, Julian Cope put together an album called Fire Escape in the Sky: The...
