OADBY WONKY KNOBBY
To celebrate the TWO HUNDREDTH edition of this mighty missive I'm releasing an album called 'Oadby Wonky Knobby' which you can download for FREE from Bandcamp, HERE:
https://mjhibbett.bandcamp.com/album/oadby-wonky-knobby

It's a collection of singles, compilation tracks, songs written to order, and instrumentals from when I tried to write tunes for adverts. The original plan was to just give it away as a ZIP file with the newsletter, but as I was CURATING it I thought it'd be nice for other people to hear it too, so I've put it on Bandcamp, Spotify etc instead. However, as a newsletter subscriber I would appreciate it if you could stick with the original plan and DO NOT PAY FOR IT - go to the Bandcamp link above and get it for free. You deserve it!

YES WE'VE GOT A VIDEO
In a fit of excitement I've created not one but TWO videos to go with the new album. The first is for 'Only A Robot' which you can thrill to HERE:

The second, out TODAY, is for 'Monster Island'. You can immerse yourself in it HERE:

AND FINALLY
There's a new book out called 'Superheroes and digital perspectives: super data' which features a whole chapter of me chuntering on about Doctor Doom alongside work by multiple GRATE BRANES. You can find details HERE:

And that's the lot for this time - thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Mark
