  Pink Floyd's The Piper at the...

  Through a series of interviews with a wide range of people connected to Pink Floyd in their earliest days (including Nick Mason, Peter Jenner, Jenny Fabian, Storm Thorgerson, Duggie Fields and Peter Whitehead), John Cavanagh paints a vivid picture of how this remarkable debut album was created. He brings to life the stories behind each track, as well as Pink Floyd's groundbreaking live performances of the time. EXCERPTThe Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a wondrous creation often seen through the distorted view of later events. These things have served to overshadow the achievement of The Pink Floyd on their debut album: an outstanding group performance; a milestone in record production; and something made in much happier circumstances than I had expected to find...This is not another book about ""mad Syd"". This, instead, is a celebration of a moment when everything seemed possible, when creative worlds and forces converged, when an album spoke with an entirely new voice. ""Such music I never dreamed of,"" as Rat said to Mole.

  Domesticated - Vol 1

  James Domestic

  In this often witty, sometimes furious, and sometimes downright surreal collection, James Domestic does - as per usual - whatever the hell he likes, with poetry, prose, and lyrics, all thrown into the mix with abandon. Punk, politics, habit, the nature of work, the environment, nostalgia, aging, and some quintessentially British whimsy, all crammed in together like a last minute bag hurriedly packed for tour. Somehow it works. A man in too many bands to count (The Domestics, PI$$ER, Da Groins, Tokyo Lungs... that's not even half of 'em), a solo artist, a vocalist, a songwriter, a DJ, a poet, a painter, someone who failed miserably at school, spent his early post-school life between the chemical factory and the dole, and somehow now has a PhD (yep, it's genuinely Dr Domestic!). A square peg in life's round hole. A face that never really fitted. He couldn't care less. Come along for the ride. Domesticated is an eighty page collection of James Domestics street-poetry and punk-prose.He's always on the road and at the gigs. His poetry has earned him comparisons to John Cooper Clarke, Ivor Cutler, Spike Milligan and Banjamin Zephaniah, amongst others.

  Prepare for a literary eruption. Crying with My Pussy, the incendiary debut novel from Swedish writer Isabel Hillborg, arrives as a fierce and unfiltered exploration of trauma, desire, and resilience in modern womanhood. Brutally honest, violently funny, and gorgeously subversive, Hillborg's voice cuts through cultural taboos with an emotional scalpel.In this unflinching narrative, protagonist Jennie navigates the aftermath of childhood trauma through a series of intense relationships. As she spirals through the complexities of millennial femininity, mental illness, and erotic compulsion, Jennie's journey becomes a powerful meditation on how we try to heal from our deepest wounds. Hillborg masterfully chronicles a woman's quest to reclaim her identity in a world that constantly attempts to define her.Hillborg dares to ask: What if the only thing keeping you alive is the one thing society says should shame you?With echoes of Virginie Despentes, Chris Kraus, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Crying with My Pussy is not only literary but political. It's for readers who want their fiction fierce, flawed, and female as hell—yet its themes of survival, identity, and the search for authentic connection will resonate with anyone who has ever felt broken and sought to put themselves back together.
