THE INCONSOLABLES PICTURESHOW: OBJECTS OF OUR AFFECTION
1. ED (PICTURED BELOW)
- Heinrich, whom I love like a stuffed son.
- A melodica from a Prague junk shop. Smells a little, but goes like a whippet.
- Lolita, the jewel of American fiction.
- Roland Topor's stirring and wonderful The Tenant.
- Burning Bridges by The Cravats, one of the greatest bands that ever lived. Possibly even greater than The Inconsolables. Possibly.
- After Hours - Scorcese's Kafka-esque journey through darkest Manhattan. Fabulous.
2. VARRICK
- Books! Old and new.
- Black shades. These are from NYC, my hometown. I never leave home without them in case I wake up somewhere unexpectedly sunny.
- I like toys. This one is a metal fish that eats a smaller metal fish.
- A picture of one of my tiny mice.
3. RIC
- I like guitars and eyeliner, though they of course are no substitute for wine and kebabs.
4. SEB
-Ticket machine. As a child, I wanted to be a bus conductor, travelling the mighty city on a big red bus. But then they got rid of them all, so I decided to be in a pop group instead.
- Book: The Borribles, by Michael De Larrabeiti. In which a tribe of feral kids embark on an odyssey to Wimbledon to exterminate the Wombles. I love this book.
5. CAM
- Cam is playing DLR. Hey hey, fucking party.

Best new band in Glasgow, by a mile!
...Any more snooker cliches?
...Second track sounds like a more snarly mid-60s Who. Excellent.
...First one sounds like Sean Ryder having a flashback but second track is a killer.
...once you've drunk a bottle of Maker's Mark in Copehagen?
...The more I watch it, the more I like it.
...Sex on Fire is good once you've drunk a bottle of Maker's Mark in Copenhagen
