Green Genie - Ireland and I (confessions of a foreign born national) A return to non-fiction (ish) with The Oktoberist waiting in the wings too. I hoped it would be done and out today, but just a proto cover reveal! Happy St Patricks Day #stpatrickday #greengenie #coverreveal #booksky #andyonyx

Having finally completed the door stopping vol. 2 of JG BALLARD’s COMPLETE SHORT STORIES I’d say all of that applies to its writer. Glad to see it gone from the bedside table but key influence on the development of #theoktoberist Thank you, Mr Ballard SSP (star sail in peace) #booksky

An artists life is an ongoing snowball of influences, there others but take out the effect of Mick & I don’t know who I’d be. In-Vogue probably my fave bass line. What’s yours? #mickkarn #japanband #genius #wal #fretlessbass

The story of my bass adventure is in #dadlessbook I can now see this lid-lifting autobiography JAPAN & SELF EXISTENCE was also an influence on that too, with its open hearted bitter/sweet recollections a must for any Karnista or Japan fan out there.

Objective review or mean spirited low-blow? More of the latter for me, sticking the colonial boot in but makes me inclined to search this out all the more. #greengenie s of the world unite and take over💚✊🏼

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a... A humdinger of an episode best enjoyed in several sittings. The headscratcher of the Tao of the Grateful Dead linked in that timey-wimey Vonnegutian way, ‘like a diamond bullet between the eyes’to The Verve via So It Goes.
