mainly loathed...

In the dying embers of 2018 we decided to forego the multiple offers that we received from friends to sip mulled wine from warm mugs at seasonally themed markets, we turned down invitations to Carol concerts and also chose (wisely) not to accept offers to go ice skating.  No, we had something far more important to do...

Instead, we had piles of albums from the previous 12 months to re-acquaint ourselves with.  And then,  late into the night, we wrote about them and put our thoughts on line....and then... 

...and then we recorded our first podcast because we love talking, even disagreeing about this music. So join us as we argue the toss over what we loved and loathed in 2018. Along the way we'll get Hector Plimmer's name wrong, mispronounce the name Momus and disagree over what The Beatles greatest musical achievement was.

Jay Lewis is a Birmingham based poet. He's also a music, movie and arts obsessive. Jay's encyclopedic knowledge of 80s/90s Arts films is a debt to his embedded status in the Triangle Arts Centre trenches back then.

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
