ah, Siena. 15

January 31, 2020
  • turns out gallivanting round London when you’re still a bit jetlagged is actually exhausting.
  • went to Daunt Books for an event with Hisham Matar on Wednesday night. the first time I went to Daunt I was a child and it was my schoolfriend’s mum’s book launch (yes, she worked for the BBC, yes, I grew up in north London). I remember gawping at the gallery and thinking I was in some kind of bookshop heaven. still feels the same way now, to be honest. more of that kind of thing this year!
  • I’d like to spend a month in Siena.
  • Matt Edgar wrote a good post about what he’s learned delivering digital services. I don’t disagree with any of it.
  • a few years after Columbia Records’ copyright expired, GoodBooks have started putting Control on Spotify. dripfeeding a song a month, so it’ll all be there by the end of the year. still very proud of the record, the band and the few years of my life when I managed them. did I mention that I discovered I have a page on Discogs?
  • this week I mostly prioritised a rapid turnaround of my expenses.
