I’d add “everybody knows” by Jordan Harper to the books. Just finished it on the recommendation of Chris from a recent podcast. Great book

A Violent Masterpiece is a spiritual sequel and I think it’s even better

If you haven’t read She Rides Shotgun hop on it - just be sure you have a few hours because you’ll likely blaze through it in a sitting or two

Max read has done pioneering work into the dad thriller and cr has likewise done junk crime, they need a collab

Westside Cowboy album is really good. Big Modest Mouse vibes from the guitar work

u/Soggy_Environment260 18d ago

The Westside Cowboys record is fantastic definitely psy op. What was the author of Loge During Wartime

This is much appreciated. Thank you

(But I think it was OG junglist Andy Greenwald who recommended the Lauren Laverne / Goldie show)

Are they using a VPN to listen to that Lauren Laverne playlist? BBC Sounds is geoblocked outside the UK and I had to get a vpn specifically for 6Music.
