![]() “I didn’t see his genius at the time,” Jones says. Johnny Rotten’s first audition - which, as the show depicts, involved singing along to Alice Cooper’s “I’m Eighteen” from a jukebox - was not impressive. I mean, I knew he was on about something.” “And I’m not proud of it, but that’s just the way it was. And I never listened to lyrics. “I was pretty illiterate back then,” says Jones, who’s written about learning to read in his thirties. When he recorded “Anarchy in the U.K.” with the Sex Pistols, Jones had no idea what the word “anarchy” meant. “Seeing that Abba can do it without being there, I’d be down,” he says. Jones is definitely open to one form of Sex Pistols reunion - a hologram tour like the one Abba is currently doing. To hear it, press play above, or listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Some highlights follow. ![]() In our new episode, Jones (who also hosts the radio show-turned-podcast Jonesy’s Jukebox) looks back on their whole saga, and explains what’s real and what’s “showbiz” in the show. ![]() Pistol, based on Jones’ excellent memoir Lonely Boy: Tales From A Sex Pistol, is introducing the band to a whole new generation. ![]() ![]() In line with James’s claims, I want to argue that it is necessary to reframe the growing problem of stress (and distress) in capitalist societies. ![]() In his book The Selfish Capitalist, Oliver James has convincingly posited a correlation between rising rates of mental distress and the neoliberal mode of capitalism practiced in countries like Britain, the USA and Australia. Indeed, it is their very commonness which is the issue: in Britain, depression is now the condition that is most treated by the NHS. For the author, capitalist realism is defined as the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it. ![]() But what is needed now is a politicization of much more common disorders. In the 1960s and 1970s, radical theory and politics (Laing, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, etc.) coalesced around extreme mental conditions such as schizophrenia, arguing, for instance, that madness was not a natural, but a political, category. “Capitalist realism insists on treating mental health as if it were a natural fact, like weather (but, then again, weather is no longer a natural fact so much as a political-economic effect). ![]() ![]() This book's story is equally appealing, celebrating the magic of fireflies., "Alborozo's upbeat, cartoon-style is particularly suited to this story, in which nighttime fears are overcome through resourcefulness and positive thinking." - Booklist "The story itself and the writing are wonderful, but the real magic of Good Night, Firefly lies in the pictures, which are incredible and flawlessly composed. Good Night, Firefly delivers a master class in the use of contrast and sparsity in illustration., Alborozo's upbeat, cartoon-style is particularly suited to this story, in which nighttime fears are overcome through resourcefulness and positive thinking., Alborozo's illustrations.are both striking and adorable. ![]() (The illustration of Nina reading under her covers by the light of a firefly is worth the price of admission alone.). ![]() The story itself and the writing are wonderful, but the real magic of Good Night, Firefly lies in the pictures, which are incredible and flawlessly composed. ![]() ![]() ![]() On a whim, she takes a job arranging flowers at the glamorous restaurant Yerba Buena. Across the city, Emilie Dubois is in a holding pattern, yearning for the beauty and community her Creole grandparents cultivated but unable to commit.

It's about home and family and friends and finding her place, and along the way she also finds the best Christmas present of all: love. It's up to Finley to make sure he gets the Christmas he was promised. ![]() And she certainly didn't expect to find the boy she may or may not have tricked into believing that Christmas was an idyllic holiday paradise on her grandmother's doorstep. But instead she returns to find that her best friend is dating her ex-boyfriend, her parents have separated, and her archnemesis got a job working at her grandmother's inn. Christmas hasn't changed much in her sixteen years. When Finley Brown returned to her hometown of Christmas, Oklahoma, from boarding school, she expected to find it just as she left it. ![]() Sarah Dessen meets Let It Snow in this new YA Christmas romance! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A century and a half later, it is as vibrant and lurid as the day it was written.For modern-day investors, still reeling from the dotcom crash, the moral of the popular manias scarcely needs spelling out. ![]() Blessed with a cast of characters that covered all the vices, gifted a passage of events which was inevitably heading for disaster, and with the benefit of hindsight, he produced a record that is at once a riveting thriller and absorbing historical document. In writing the history of the great financial manias, Charles Mackay proved himself a master chronicler of social as well as financial history. Between the three of them, these historic episodes confirm that greed and fear have always been the driving forces of financial markets, and, furthermore, that being sensible and clever is no defence against the mesmeric allure of a popular craze with the wind behind it. This Harriman House edition includes Charles Mackay's account of the three infamous financial manias - John Law's Mississipi Scheme, the South Sea Bubble, and Tulipomania. ![]() First published in 1841, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds is often cited as the best book ever written about market psychology. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm here to tell you, she must have had more than one failure that wasn't just cake! (I did wonder, if she had made the cake once and realised she put too much baking powder in the first time, why on earth did she do the same thing again?) Compared to the envious moaning about "Us" and "Them" in Below Stairs: The Classic Kitchen Maid's Memoir That Inspired "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Downton Abbey", it's a much more pleasant read, and not just because Wadlow worked for a better class of employer she did her best at each job, not trying to get by with the minimum and taking each difficulty as a challenge to her ingenuity. I started cooking family meals myself at about age 11, and have been doing it ever since. I wished there might have been a bit more depth-not dishing dirt, but a few more tales of her misadventures as a beginning kitchenmaid cook. She also moved around too much, spending little more than a year in most posts until she got married-and in those days married women weren't expected to remain in service unless their husband was the butler or something.Ī light, fast read. No dissing on the great and the good to be found here-Wadlow is the essence of the "family retainers" of 19th and early 20th century fiction, though down in the kitchen she was too far from the action to live vicariously through her employers. ![]() ![]() Suddenly Miguel is fending off every currently single man on the planet to give Ezra room to get over Ricowhile fighting a burning suspicion that the best thing to help Ezra get over his broken heart is Miguel.
