Being a medieval historian is weird, in general. I spend a lot of time reading and thinking about a thousand years of history which is largely ignored. When I do manage to then attempt to share my love (or obsession, if you want to be a dick about it) I am often met very specifically … Continue reading "On what...
I watched a large part of All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace this month. This also counts as a “listening” item, because the theme song, “Baby Love Child” by Pizzicato Five, is also spectacular. Guitar Moves is a good series of interviews by Matt Sweeney, who I mostly know via his involvement in Bonnie...
