Introducing DIRTY MONEY: announcement in The Bookseller
By Staff, 13th February 2024Features The first quotes are in for my new Farrow & Chang series, publishing with Baskerville in early 2025
When he heard Soundgarden’s ‘Rusty Cage’ for the first time, he started shouting “Gonna eat my rusty cake” and then ran into the kitchen and raided the food cupboard.
Always keen to start the day as he means to go on, Arthur woke us up on the weekend by stage diving onto our bed after turning the Beastie Boys’ “Fight For Your Right” up to 11 on the radio. He is also a huge fan of Billy Corgan’s ice cream van in the ‘Today’ music video and has repeatedly tried to persuade me to invest in one just like it. When he’s not dreaming about bubblegum ice pops, he likes singing along to Coati Mundi’s ‘Prisoner of My Principles’ and Tenpole Tudor’s rambunctious ‘Swords of a 1000 Men’ (which he discovered via the Aardman film The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!). And after a hard day rocking, he likes nothing more than to chill out to Moody Blues’ ‘Dear Diary’ because the spoken word bit at the end makes him laugh his little head off. Come to think of it, Arthur’s laugh is my favourite sound in the world.
Being the responsible parent that I am, I always turn the clip off before Josh Homme gets lucky with the stripper.
