Book 5 / 2026 Pin Ups 1972 - Peter Stanfield
Can't recall who 1st recommended this, but I'd like to thank them, because it's excellent. Somehow, the period you were waiting to get on the scene is almost more nostalgia-inducing than the moment you get out there.

Book 6 / 2026 Archivum: Vintage Joy Division Prints by Kevin Cummins This is a really beautiful book for JD fans. Somehow, it's currently available for half price at 'Books About Art' too.

[CarolineCollettWriter @CollettWriter]

So exciting to get thi today! I love these Kickstarter-funded books from the wonderful
@bluecoatpress - such a great way to collect prints too, adding this Charlie Phillips to my @tishmurtha & Marilyn Stafford ones. This one's been a long time coming, but TOTALLY worth it!

I’d never heard of these. Pretty great.

Supercool women’s music website @TheForty_Five asked me to write about the women in punk who influenced me the most - and I did!
Enjoy, comment, share!

I love @sleafordmods, the busking Vladimir and Estragon of punk rock.
Part of you thinks they're just two nutters at the bus stop - but part of you knows you're witnessing genius.

Beatriz Gonzalez at the Barbican is SUCH a great show - a whole lifetime's work from this Colombian innovator, whose subjects included state & criminal violence, media, politics & 'the West', featuring artworks on all kinds of domestic surfaces. Fascinating & highly recommended!

Two sets of pics from my Pareidolia series ('human tendency to perceive meaningful images, particularly faces, in random or ambiguous objects like clouds, rocks, or household items') are now on display at the Praxis Gallery, Minneapolis in the new 'DIPTYCH' exhibition.
(Whoop!)

As some of you will know, I've been working on book about punk - part teenage diary, part serious reflections on the times, from the NF to Peter Sutcliffe. Here's a podcast interview on it, which you may like to listen to / like / share / whatever CC x

Such an amazing culchavulcha start to the year! Films like the Dylan/Brutalist, plays like The Years and exhibs incl Barbara Walker, Tate Britain’s 80s photog and now my beloved LINDER at the Hayward. And it’s only February!!

Book 8 / 2025
Before.Easter.After - Patti Smith and Lynn Goldsmith
Got this for Christmas & had a v cursory skim - which images I knew / liked / didn't know.
Glad I took the time to really savour on 2nd look. Above all, loved the endless creative exchange between these 2 women.

Just watched the first 2 episodes of 'A Thousand Blows' - having listened to Stephen Graham talk about its origins on the Graham Norton show.
Stephen Knight of Peaky Blinders writes the 1880s like Dickens meets Quentin Tarantino.
This is going to be fun.

When you pre-order a book 3 months back and forget all about it and suddenly there it is, signed by the maestros. Happy end of January everybody!

So many personal touchstones featured in the hugely enjoyable 'Story of Us' 3-parter by @simon_schama, which finished tonight (see iPlayer). Heaney, Larkin & Jerry Dammers my favourites. Stroke of genius to get Cliff! Some brand new - 7:84 was a fascinating story.
