Look busy on your Monday morning while reading the five short stories on from Friday's Shortlist. They’re short! They’ll get your brain in gear. And they’re short. Get short with me: turnandwork.com/weekly-shorts/…

Honorary Canadian Anna Justen’s new singles are an evolution of her sound from indie-folk to something much more complex and adventurous. It's compelling stuff. more here: turnandwork.com/music/anna-jus…

tibia is music for epic roadtrips and late nights of debauchery. They've only got four singles, but their 00s-inspired dance-rock is addictive and fun as hell. more here: turnandwork.com/music/tibia-lo…

A building suddenly collapses in Harlem in 2008. A man is found in the rubble, alive, 36 hours later. Richard Price's Lazarus Man is rich and compelling, but if you’re looking for another Lush Life, this might not be it. turnandwork.com/fiction-book/l…

Nadia Garofalo’s sick-and-tired vocal and Ben Shillabeer’s post-punk instrumentals make Heavy Feelings' Anatomy EP dark, gloomy and blisteringly good. More here: turnandwork.com/music/heavy-fe…

For the Beastie Boys' 2006 concert film "Awesome, I Fuckin' Shot that", they gave 50 audience members 8mm cameras and the only instruction: 'keep rolling'. It's so good, and you can't buy or rent it anywhere. But you can watch the thing in full here: turnandwork.com/blog-post/beas…

The Drop is like Lehane channelling Elmore Leonard – snappy dialogue, cartoonish characters, and lots of fun twists. turnandwork.com/fiction-book/t…

Kloyd's Høurglass EP is atmospheric and moody electronic music - four tracks with enough range to spawn three remix releases. It's excellent stuff. More here: turnandwork.com/music/kloyd/

I've read and loved a bunch of stories by Emily Rinkema 🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦 and didn't realize it until last week. Turns out I'm a big fan. I've collected links to a bunch of my favourites here: turnandwork.com/blog-post/shor…

"Joel Roberts” by truman sinclair is already a classic to me. His upcoming album American Recordings might be one of the first great records of 2025. More here: turnandwork.com/music/truman-s…

Sloane Crosley's grief memoir is striking and memorable. She's an incredibly gifted writer dealing with the biggest of themes. more here: turnandwork.com/nonfiction-boo…
