If you are not familiar with his work, check it out ( www.scottking.co.uk/archive ) Extract from Interview magazine: JON SAVAGE: In a way, it’s an ‘anti-success handbook’ - the direct opposite of all those self-improvement books. Is that deliberate? SCOTT KING: Someone else suggested that it could have been called How To Be A Loser In The Art World, which I thought was funny, and there is an element of that, but it’s broader than that too. I didn’t set out to write it as an ‘anti-self-help’ book. Quite the opposite, really. I wrote it as ‘my truth’, I didn’t edit it, I just let it pour out… the manifesto, ultimately, is about embracing ‘failure’, looking for the excitement and potential within that – you know – rather than being in a state of constant frustration/fury/misery because you do not have what it is you think you want; it is about embracing what you do have, even if that seems like shit. www.serviceindustries.co.uk/various/the-debrist-manifesto-standard-edition

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on May 20, 2022 12:44:09 GMT 1, Just went to see the Cornelia Parker exhibition at Tate Britain. Certainly one of the best exhibitions in recent time. Go and see it, it’s on till mid October.
Very nice catalogue to go with it!
While there, it is worth seeing the Walter Sickert exhibition as well. Quite dark but very very good.

Mine arrived today. The use a box to ship them but the books seem to be able to move as they were seriously dented on the edges. Will have to return them, unfortunately.
Hope yours arrive in a better state.

Before people bought art for art, now it's only flippers stories. They even sell gifts !
They don't like art, I can assure you that. Theu just like money, money and money. That's all. Idiots.

Stik has done a fantastic mural in one of the caves, 'Ochre Man' -
I did try and see whether there were any more of the signed books available, but was advised he only did 24 of them, and they all went in the first day or so.

Its a great day out Adcua, in a really nice part of the world.
Some nice pieces on display, the Stik mural is brilliant.
Why 'Ochre Man' I hear you say? It was what used to be mined there apparently.
Apologies I couldn't grab any guides for anybody, but I do like being prepared, and have a spare canary? Nice little fella, certainly in a better mood than when I took him in there.
Have a great trip.

I have a bookshelf space issue though. Not fun.

No problem Kfroms.
Would certainly recommend the Alex James autobiography if you haven't read it, one of the best music autobiographies I have read.
I too received the Jarvis Cocker poster, but just checked, my book wasn't signed? Cant recall if this was the deal or not?

They replied and said it was only the poster that was signed, but apologised saying that is was obviously very unclear as they'd been inundated with messages about unsigned books!
I'm only on Chapter Two, but it's a great read so far though.

Only saw that the book is unsigned when arriving at home, my order clearly stated “signed book”. Rough Trade offered me to send it back, which I did. Bought a signed one off the bay for just under 30gbp so not too bad after all
