Just added 🔗 Limitarianism by Ingrid Robeyns to my ‘To Read’ 📚 list.
📚 Just started reading this - his first two were just GREAT.
Can’t help wondering if ‘Lynne’ is trying to ride the wave of his sales?
📚 Well - the series might have come to an end - but there is clearly more to read, like this Christmas present.
🔗 Listening Brands by Jr Little 📚 was published in 2015 - did we not already have this then?
Just added 🔗 📚 The Exponential Age by Azeem Azhar to my book lists.
🎵 Back in the day, a gentleman by name of Pete Frame produced two stunning 📚books … Rock Family Trees. Hand drawn ‘family trees’ of Rock Giants at the time.
I know of Theo Travis because of his work over the years with Steven Wilson, but also as a performer in his own right and then most recently with Soft Machine, which is how he came to write 🖇️ John Marshall’s obit’.
Family Trees tend to be very hierarchical, so I plugged the two threads together and then added 50 years of humanity.
‘Hierarchy’ is old school. ‘Networked’ is new school’.
How cool would it be to choose (say) 50 musicians like Theo and build networks of
- the people he has played with (studio and live) as
- one offs or over a prolonged period of time and
- inside bands and as a solo artist
It needs to be someone like Theo … a wide enough eclectic career to be interesting but not so overwhelming it becomes meaningless. For example someone like Bowie would just be a page of lines.

Perusing - as you do - and came across this compilation :
📚 The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: A Trilogy in Four Parts by Douglas Adams (sorry - Amazon link - couldn’t find this edition on MicroBlog)
It reminded me of a much older ‘trilogy’, penned by one Spike Milligan - who around book 5 wrote something like
Number 5 in the increasingly misnamed ‘War Trilogy’.
I read Molly Jong-Fast and had never really thought about it - but - TIL she is the daughter of 🔗 Erica Jong (📚 Fear of Flying) … of course she is … the clue
I just found out about 🔗 Connie Converse
🎙️ Mike Pesca talking to Howard Fishman who wrote 📚 To Anyone Who Ever Asks
Talk about a hole in history.
📚 Well that just through a wrench into my book queue … presents from a friend … and its not even Christmas!
