The words I wrote about Greg Churchill for Jim Wilson's wonderful Café Reader in 2017.
@dubdotdash suggested I put the whole thing online, so here it is, with huge thanks to @0800phantom Billstickers.
(Favourite comment on this was from Karaan Tucker: Jim used to call Greg Churchill Mark, and I remember the phone call from him, “Tucker, I am going to put Mark on the cover of the Cafe Reader”.)

In my spare time, I wrote a new Opdiner post about new and old records that I like a lot. It's about to pour down with rain for a month or three in Bangkok, so music matters (it always does, of course).
And the world might not be here next week ...

Music heals. It's time to focus on music again.
I love (and addictively read and then re-read) Richard Langston's new oral history of The Clean. It's also very important, I think.
I wrote a few words about it.

Four days wandering and snapping Paris in the springtime (there’s a song in that), from La Villette in the far north to Parc Montsouris in the far south, stopping at the river as you do.
