Death of a Codebreaker

Trevor Noah is right: we should all have a couple conspiracy theories that we believe in. He's right about a lot of other stuff too, but l need an excuse to post this.

I'm already on the final episode, and I know there's not going to be any definitive answer about what truly happened to Gareth Williams, because I've read just about everything John le Carré has written and I recently finished Mick Herron's Slow Horses book series. Obviously, these feats make me an expert on British Intelligence, even leaving out my extensive knowledge of James Bond (books and films). The point being that if the intelligence services are involved, then you might as well make up your own solution, because that's about as close as you'll get to the truth.

So, by the time I finish the final episode, I hope to have an intriguing, new conspiracy theory to add to my repertoire. . . because one bit of this is straight out of Mick Herron's Joe Country.

BOOK REPORT

I had wanted to read this book eventually but it got immediately bumped up on the list when someone pointed out that it had basically the same plot as my WIP. I dropped everything and started reading to make sure it wasn't too similar. The book was just getting good and explaining things when the free pages on the internet ran out so I had to wait for the physical copy to come in the mail. I am pleased to say that besides the basic plot, it is not like my book. And now I'd like to read the next two in the series.

Anyways, the report!

The book is about a history teacher named Richard Davey that has a very boring life. He is a fan of Napoleon and finds out that time travel is real and possible through a mysterious shop keeper so he goes back to Waterloo to try and change history and give his life more meaning.

It was an interesting story and I never knew what was going to happen next. It starts right when he goes back in time but explains how he got there by use of flashbacks. I actually loved how this worked. Usually when there's a back and forth or either time or characters, I find myself having a clear favorite and wishing the other one would hurry up so I can get back to the good part. In this book, both were the good parts! I was just as happy to be back in time as I was to be getting the explanation of how he got there and vice versa.

Unfortunately, the tense of the story was driving me crazy. If I wasn't already interested in the topic, I probably would've ditched it by the end of the first page. Here's an example of what I'm talking about that doesn't contain any important information:

He returns to the carriage and rummages in his bag. He extracts his penknife and the dried sausage wrapped in his handkerchief. Standing at the open end of the cart, he spreads the square of linen as a tablecloth and carefully cuts several slices. He throws the small hunk of meat attached to the string to the back of the barn. At least he will know where the rodents are for a while. The sausage's pink flesh is mottled with white fat and shreds of garlic. The skin is covered in fine white mould with the texture of paper. He teases it free and adds it to his offering among the fallen timbers.

He chews each slice slowly, savouring the taste as the rich meat replenishes his energy. When finished, he takes a gulp from his round, wooden water canister. British army issue is pale blue but his is plain inside a hessian jacket. It would not help his cause to fall into French hands in possession of British army kit. He replaces the cork stopper and repacks his haversack.

My other big problem with the book, is that Richard is being described as being middle aged, balding, and kinda pudgy yet every young attractive girl in the book is flirting with him/throwing themselves at him. The other characters are good though!

Bonus (?) we get to see Napoleon in a dress

6/11/23.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago during a sale by Superior Viaduct. Flaming Tunes were a one-off collaboration between Gareth Williams and Mary Currie (originally from Cardiff, Wales). Gareth had just returned from India - a trip he took after leaving the band This Heat - and reconnected with his childhood friend Mary Currie.

The result is Flaming Tunes. The Superior Viaduct page mentions pastoral British psych-folk and early Residents. I also hear Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Momus, The Great Unwashed, and Cleaners from Venus. But make no mistake, this deserves its experimental tag...but it also deserves a lo-fi pop tag.

This Heat: Fiery, Chaotic, and Full of Emotion

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a band emerged from the claustrophobic streets of London, creating music that defied categorization. This Heat, consisting of Charles Hayward, Charles Bullen, and the late Gareth Williams, crashed together disparate elements: lo-fi recordings, cutting-edge technology, free improvisation, musique concrète-like tape experiments, funk rhythms, distorted guitar, and…

Hollywoodland (2006)

In today's review, I try to find truth, justice and the American way. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2006 drama Hollywoodland #AdrienBrody #DianeLane #BenAffleck #BobHoskins #RobinTunney #KathleenRobertson #LoisSmith #LarryCedar #CarolineDhavernas

We think of Superhero worship as a recent trend, with Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, and D.C.’s filmography building upon the walks of Sam Rami and Tim Burton. Yet almost half a century earlier, the televised adventures of Superman were catapulting struggling actor George Reeves into a household name. Until that all ended with the star’s tragic, and mysterious death, in 1959. In 2006, A film set…

“The Creator” feels like Gareth Edwards’ “The Last of Us”/“Detroit Become Human” crossover fanfiction. He just scribbled out Joel and Ellie’s names and replaced them with Joshua and Alphie.

Wait a sec…JOshua and aLphIE? Even the names are close to Joel and Ellie lol.
