Stream a splendid programme about the life and works of England's Greatest SF Writer.
(For those of you new to the JH-R experience, Peelie, Wyndham and Mopar muscle are all-too-common themes. And a bunch of other stuff. Metroland, Big Black, Ballard, BSD... The usual sort of thing.)
"The JH-R Experience" makes me think of a run-down disused fairground (much like that in Batman: The Killing Joke, come to think of it) fitted with random steampunk and industrial attractions. Attendants wearing long leather aprons, combat boots and goggles wander around the place scaring small children, and the smell of roasting meat is everywhere...
You make it sound like I should be drawn by that fellow from Metal Hurlant: Moebius?
Good.
I'd sort-of meant it in reference to 'The colourblind James experience' (Their song 'I'm considering a move to Memphis' hit the Festive Fifty) and Peelie's term for him pitching up at some Uni and playing Undertones records at a mob of bemused students - The John Peel wing-ding.
I dunno. This LJ business requires a certain amount of... Self-aggrandisment that I'm entirely uncomfortable with (Don't make a fuss, dear. No-one likes big-headed people.[1]) unless I'm cheerily and self-referentially taking the piss out of it. I mean, no-one other than myself should be interested in what I had for lunch, yet there are people out there who take pictures of their mid-day repast and post them up on the interweb for the edification of, oh, at least six or eight tedious bloody Nathans.
