  Everyone is guilty of doing it: Committing an act so outlandish, so stupid that the first thought that comes to mind is, “Duuuuuuuh!” “Duh!” moments happen all the time. They can strike at any moment. At any place, at any time of day, when you least expect them: 
  You Super Glue a quarter to your forehead betting a friend it won’t stick . . .”Duh!” 
  Your boss asks you to leave "early" to run an errand and then to stay late . . . “Duh!” 
  Your mother-in-law comes to visit after you buy her a “one-way” ticket . . . double “Duh!" 
  Need more examples? Okay, you asked for it. 
  You report a local family disturbance to the police and the officer comes to your door . . . ”Duh!” 
  Your blonde girlfriend hears accidents happen close to home, so she moves . . . ”Duh!” 
  You think becoming a vegetarian means you can’t eat Animal Crackers . . . ”Duh!” 
  Stand up. Take a bow. You are not alone. Now one laugh-filled volume brings them all together…the whole “Duhs!” and nothing but the “Duhs!” . . . THE BOOK OF DUH! This fun-filled treasury features the funniest, most outrageous “Duhs!” of all. Of course, who are we tell you that. You have lived these (and probably more). If not, join the club. It is okay to be “Duh!”  
  This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

  Daisy Jones & The Machine We Built

  Daisy Jones & The Machine We Built is a requiem for authenticity in an age of performance. Behind every song lies an algorithm, behind every voice a brand. This book explores how passion becomes product, how rebellion becomes rhythm, and how the hunger for art is replaced by the machinery of attention. Daisy’s story becomes a parable for a generation that traded intimacy for influence, and creation for visibility. Through lyrical prose and cultural critique, it reveals the cost of being seen in a world that values exposure over expression — and asks whether there’s still room for truth in an echo chamber built to repeat itself forever.

  Rusty Egan, co-founder of Visage and resident DJ at London's iconic Blitz Club, helped define the New Romantic music movement. His autobiography captures the birth of British electronic music, 1980s London nightlife, and collaborations with Midge Ure, Steve Strange, and other pioneers.
  Rusty Egan is one of the most iconic and influential figures in the electronic music industry. His career began in the music industry as a runner at DJM studios, followed by a stint at WEA Records. Rusty collaborated with former Sex Pistols member Glen Matlock, alongside Steve New and Midge Ure, to establish the new wave band Rich Kids. Their debut album, Ghosts of Princes in Towers, released in 1978, achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success. During the Rich Kids tours, Rusty met Steve Strange. This encounter led to Rusty's concept for a club night at Billy's, a Soho venue, catering to fashionable punks and showcasing the music they were passionate about. In 1979, they moved their club night to the Blitz in Covent Garden. As the resident DJ at the Blitz, Rusty played a pivotal role in introducing British, German, and Japanese electronica to the British club scene, essentially curating the soundtrack for the burgeoning New Romantic movement.
  Rusty Egan was instrumental in the formation of the band Visage with Midge Ure. Steve Strange joined them as the frontman (face and voice), and the lineup was completed by Billy Currie on keyboards, along with John McGeoch (guitar), Dave Formula (keyboards), and Barry Adamson (bass), all from the band MAGAZINE.
  Beyond his band work Rusty co-founded the incredibly popular Camden Palace nightclub in London with Steve Strange, where he continued to champion and shape the development of electronica in the UK. He also established Metropolis Music, a publishing and production company, allowing him to create music as well as perform it.
  In more recent news, Rusty released his album Welcome To The Dancefloor in 2017, which featured collaborations with Midge Ure,Tony Hadley, and Peter Hook. Rusty Egan is still regularly DJing and in October 2025 will be releasing his new album Romantic to coincide with this autobiography and the Design Museum's Blitz Club Exhibition centred of course, around Rusty and the Blitz Kids.

  The Global Vipassana Pagoda in Mumbai was built to mark the birth centenary year of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, the Burmese Dhamma teacher of S.N. Goenka. The monument is built in the Myanmar style of the Shwedagon pagoda, as a token of gratitude to that country where the essence of the Buddha’s teachings was maintained in its pristine purity, and from where it is now spreading throughout India, and via India to the rest of the world. Mr. S.N. Goenka became the vehicle to make this happen and was the inspiring guide for every important aspect of this building project. Tremendous volition and effort went into the building of this staggering monument, and it is interesting and educative to explore the journey. Mr. Bikram Dandiya has beautifully chronicled some of these experiences in this booklet, The Jewel in Mumbai, the story of the making of the crystal bud atop the Global Vipassana Pagoda.
