Hooting Yard: Science Does Not Rest

From bulkhead to poop-hatch, instructions are being shouted back and forth by the ship’s crew.

The mighty sun is gleaming bronze. Flags are flying and the sky is alive with auks and terns and guillemots. Below decks in the gloomy cabin, the two men reluctantly greet each other. This was the historic moment when Blodgett met Dobson.

Flomotion Podcast #2: Ben Westbeech

Nick Luscombe talks to new brit talent Ben Westbeech about his brand new album “Welcome To The Best Years Of Your Life”.

“What i like most about the debut album from Ben Westbeech (“Welcome to the Best Years of Your Life” released March 26th) is the sense of stepping into someone’s life – running around the city, having fun, experiencing highs and lows….all set to a soundtrack fusing jazz, soul, drum & bass and hip hop. When I met Ben for our interview on my second Flomotion podcast he explained to me that the record was an honest portarayl of his experiences. Clearly Ben Westbeech is the latest Brit talent destined for great things.” nick luscombe:flomotion

This quickly growing youth culture has replaced the spinning tops and whizz sticks once so popular with the younger generation, and instead has them hunched over a computer in a dimly lit room staring at a screen starved of fresh air and sunlight.

Hooting Yard: Adept Of Goon Fang

It has to be said that most of the inhabitants of O’Houlihan’s Wharf are not worth writing about. They are, with few exceptions, a grey and insipid bunch. One of those exceptions, however, is the pedant from whose pen streams a series of righteous nostrums, or possibly nostra, regularly sent out into the world, or at least into this bilgewater-befouled corner of it, posted as they are on a noticeboard outside the pet shop, from which they are rapidly torn down and stuffed into the pockets of those citizens who collect them with something approaching mania.
