So there is a book about Momus coming out from Zero Books. I’m reading the blog it’s based on, fifteenpeople.com, and revisiting some of those albums.
Timelord is a great record. Not as snotty and arch, filled with longing and despair, so more my speed than his other records. I like how he draws out the main theme of most sci fi— the fact that so much of our technology is motivated by a desire to overcome time and death. The kind of thing that sounds trite in a messageboard post but the buried longing does come out on songs like Enlightenment, which also deals with more contemporary concerns

I’m discovering some personal stuff about him in the blog that isn’t so cool also.

Not trying to avoid that reality. I feel like momus is cancelled here already so discussing the music should be ok

Ah. Just came here to wonder how the book was?

I'm unable to watch his series of Open University videos because he has this possibly unconscious click in his speech which really triggers my misophonia.
