    The Same Basic Concept

    Ozric Tentacles released their album Jurassic Shift in the same year, 1993, as the film Jurassic Park. It was my far their best-selling album, and made their name globally.

    Excellent points above. Regarding the attitude in the music world to indie artistes or groups, I've never seen it portrayed as anything other than a badge of honour. To be an indie band is something to be proud of, and fans and critics usually feel the same. Indeed, if you follow the punk ethos...

    I wonder if everyone who's posted above would consider self-released albums by independent musicians or groups in the same light? I think perhaps not. Yet, why? They're doing the same thing.

    Publishing Bias

    I think your difficulty, @ColGray , is perhaps more about averages than perception. On average, a self-published book is going to be rubbish. The internet has gifted us that. I realise I'm presenting that as a "fact," but most people in the biz would agree. But a few percent of those...

    What Was the Last Television Episode You Watched?

    We watched the season finale of Shadow And Bone last night. Overall, 6.5/10. I liked a lot of it, but some of the actors didn't seem to fit their roles, and there was a bit of plot bother. Too many coincidences and unused powers. Perhaps it was just too epic? The "thieves & assassins" group were...

    I Am Taurus, by Stephen Palmer

    From Celtic expert Lorna Smithers at her blog: "Described from the bull’s point of view are the cultures with whom he has interacted. He speaks of how he appears in star lore, of the exploits that have given rise to his myths, of his numerous deaths as the sacrificial bull. It is clear a good...
