Elric of Melniboné Part Two Loz is back with me at Derry and Tom's as we dive into Straasha's ocean depths to prize open the mysteries below and discuss (most of) Book Two of Elric of Melniboné. Elric is full of pith and vinegar for a change and we get a good look at him … Continue reading Episode 06 – Elric of Melniboné Part Two w/ @lozbearfield

Episode 05 – The Final Programme Phase One w/ @husseindharma
The Final Programme Phase One After a degree of arm-twisting and one false start, Hussein finally gets his head into a sci-fi/fantasy book and agrees to tell the tale! We cover the first Phase of The Final Programme, the introduction of Jerry Cornelius into the world of Michael Moorcock. Hussein pops a couple of cherries, … Continue reading Episode 05 – The Final Programme Phase One w/ @husseindharma
Behind the scenes with Hussein
It took a while but, following an aborted attempt a few weeks ago, Hussein and I finally managed to hook up and record our first Jerry Cornelius session, covering Phase One of The Final Programme. Hussein brought his snapper along and took a couple of photos. Tidy! On to editing now. Hussein is a great … Continue reading Behind the scenes with Hussein
Moorcock Shelfies 04 – @jedwardscott1
Another fab shelfie here from Twitter compadre @jedwardscott1. Despite being very fond of some of the newer editions and omnibuses I just feel so much closer to those 60s, 70s and 80s paperbacks and there's a lovely blend of Mayflower, Grafton/Granada and Quintet editions in here. In particular though I'm intrigued by The Warhound and … Continue reading Moorcock Shelfies 04 – @jedwardscott1
Episode 04 – Happy Birthday MM and Phil!!!
Happy Birthday Michael Moorcock and Phil One of the twitter gang tipped me off a few weeks ago that December 18th is Michael Moorcock's birthday. It took a while for the penny to drop, but when it did and my brain was penetrated by the copper and grub of ten thousand grasping fingers, I was … Continue reading Episode 04 – Happy Birthday MM and Phil!!!
Bored, cold, so… YouTube Channel?
Not actually Bratfud Frost is laying over the Bradford hills like a crisp, armoured shiver blanket so I thought balls to it... I'll knock out another video version of a podcast episode (lazily put together this time on the native Windows video maker with a slideshow and audio). I've done this, as much as anything … Continue reading Bored, cold, so… YouTube Channel?
Episode 03 – Elric of Melniboné Part one
Elric of Melniboné Part one Loz is back with me at Derry and Tom's as we tackle the 1972 novel Elric of Melniboné. We have a few drinks and muse upon Elric's early pre-wanderer, Stormbringerless years on the Ruby Throne of Imrryr. We also ponder the news of a possible Elric TV show and attempt … Continue reading Episode 03 – Elric of Melniboné Part one
Breakfast in the Ruins read along – Elric of Melniboné
In 8 days time I'll be joining Loz once again in Derry and Tom's to eat some cake, drink some fine wines (or perhaps just dirty beer) and pick up the tale of Elric by jumping forward 11 years to 1972's Elric of Melniboné. Naturally, because we're talking Elric, this also means we're in fact … Continue reading Breakfast in the Ruins read along – Elric of Melniboné
Moorcock Shelfies 03 – @lapsedgamer
OK ok... More of a deskie this one, but still happy that @lapsedgamer shared his collection. Hopefully just a starting point. Incidentally this is the same edition I started Phil on 14 or so years ago. It collects the first half of the Elric saga in chronological rather than publication order. It's a bit of … Continue reading Moorcock Shelfies 03 – @lapsedgamer
My Experiences in the Third World War
Phil and I have just returned home from the SFW Weekender (see previous post). Always great to get back to the den after a few days away, and even better when postie has left treasure on the door mat. I've been looking forward to hearing the new(ish), live recording by Michael Moorcock & The Deep … Continue reading My Experiences in the Third World War
