That's right: Numan. The estimable Philip Palmer invited to me contribute something on SF Music to his blog -- if I've held back from mentioning his blog here earlier, it must be because his blog is so much more varied and interesting, not to say so much better designed, than mine. But go check out what I have to say about Numan. Then stay to explore the rest of Philip's domain.

New Futurismic Column [pending] ponned.

My prog alter-ego The Adam Roberts Project (he's Slim Shady to my Eminem, sort of) has a new outlet. Not content with europrogblogging, he's now starting a monthly column at Paul Raven's excellent Futurismic site. I'll update this announcement when the first column rolls, which I believe will happen Wednesday coming.

28th Jan: No longer pending, now ponned: here's the link.

Podcast, reviews, things

More news on upcoming publication will follow; but for the time being (as term continues super-busy and rather hectic) here are some smaller things. Firstly, a podcast I did for Gail Martin's excellent 'Chronicles of the Necromancer' site, about Splinter and the end of the world:

Ah, the fun we had recording that, what with the transatlantic phone line repeatedly giving us ten minutes of talk-time before suddenly cutting out in the middle of recording such that we had to start all over again. But we got there in the end.

Secondly, you can find at The Valve some reviews what-I-wrote of the 2008 Booker Longlist, the 2008 Booker Shortlist (you'll see how cunningly I manage to pay a great deal of attention to all the novels except the one that finally won it) and the 2008 Nobel Prize for Literature.

And finally Simeon Tsanev drops me a line to let me know an interview I did for the Bulgarian bsite Shadowdance has gone live. Ah, the more I see it, the more I come to hate that wikipedia photo of me (an official wikipedia photographer snapped it at the Paris Book Fair earlier this year, on a Saturday when I happened to be dying). Still: ?????????!
