Epson 3
“Is this some sort of spiritual journey, Mr Moore?” Vic Vic was one of that generation of college lecturers who were inclined to become formal as an accompaniment to sarcasm. Epson Moore started to mumble, a little in awe of…

Epson 2
A light tan Danish phone was ringing on the coffee table. The cat on the futon registered the sound by a movement of one ear, but remained otherwise curled as before between two cushions. The room was comfortable with the…

Epson 1
Bubbles of ochre light from the autostrada had become too invasive to ignore. Epson Moore recognised that this was one of those mornings when rolling over and faceplanting in the cushion was not an option. The schedule for the day…

K-POP 2024 newjeans vs hybe
The second in our series of special topics in K-pop is devoted to the biggest news story of the year. Two years ago NewJeans appeared, apparently out of nowhere, and shook up South Korean pop music. They were fresh-sounding, yet…
