It is quite possible, and beyond that most satisfactory, to lose one’s thoughts in consideration of the idea that the turbulently shifting great moments of history produce or recognise precisely the artists required to frame those occasions for present and future generations to understand and appreciate. Without Homer, ancient Greece would be but a rubble of interesting statuary and quite likely without Homer it all would have been paved over decades ago.

Bursting with colour in the night, these aren't fireworks but aurora lighting up the northern skies. These amazing pictures of the northern lights were taken by astrophotographer Juan Carlos Casado in Greenland, Iceland and Finland.

If you've taken off your suspiciously pongy latex costume, removed the dodgy face paint and tucked into your candy haul (besides the squashy eggs, of course) you're probably ready for our BLOODY good October playlist. Talking of dodgy latex, St. Vincent is back with MASSEDUCTION, and it's all pink and sizzly-sounding and generally excellent, as you might expect at this point from the font of talent that is Annie...

Seaver more or less discovered Samuel Beckett in Paris after World War Two, at least in terms of the larger world markets, and became Beckett's friend, editor and publisher at Arcade, Grove and Viking Press. In any event, sometime in the early 1960's Beckett paid a visit to Seaver in New York and...
