I have known Steven for over two years - working on his book, Limited Edition Of One, which came out in April this year.

Not a straightforward memoir, but something more conceptual, non-linear, a genuine collaboration unlike anything else I've done book-wise.

Then, after listening to him repeatedly explain why Porcupine Tree was in the past - he told me he had in fact been working with the guys on what would become their first album in 13 years, Closure/Continuation, which went straight to No2 in the UK this week, and No.1 in Germany.

Yes, my voice is a little lower down in the mix, I still have no clue how to operate the gear properly, plus he was handholding his mic (no room for anything else in my hotel room at the time) so he naturally sounds a little 'closer'. But then it's him you want to hear from on this, not me, for a change.

Let me know what you think.

WARNING: The sound quality on this is not good. We had a microphone malfunction, then a brain damage situ, then an exhausted old fart saying balls, I need to buy better equipment. Meanwhile, however, this is me and Jonnie James Interrupter doing our best to huddle around one mic and say something decent about the late great Jonny Z, who died recently. I knew Jonny and his wife Marsha back when shit was real in the 80s (and beyond) and they were never less than wonderful, welcoming, honest, funny and true. I will return and do a proper pod/story about them one day. But for now, this is this.  New podcast episode

One for a rainy Sunday afternoon here at Rockingwall Farm. Me on my ownsome - No Interruptions - telling you the hideous truth behind the books that wouldn't know the hideous truth about music if it came and blew bubbles in their hideous faces. Then there are the books I write and have written. I'll give you the dirt on that too. Along with the light. Magic done well works both ways and I am now a Magus in the occult art.

Honest, always right, policed by the Good Guys, never prejudiced, always fair... none of these things exist on all the music mags you love. To demonstrate, we take Classic Rock - a magazine still close to my wallet-shaped heart - and dissect the latest cover story on Slash. 'Honest' Mick Wall, as Brian May always described him, and Jonny James Interruptor takes you on a ride with the hows, whys, and wtf. Funny, too. (Other music mags exist, apparently.)

Paying respects to the one and only Meat Loaf. The big friendly giant of rock who died last week. A life lived in epic cinemascope technicolour. Sometimes funny, often sad, a tragedy, a triumph, a true-life tale of emotional and physical mayhem. The monster to Jim Steinman's Dr Frankenstein. The Beast more full of Beauty than this cruel world ever knew. New podcast episode

Jonny James Hotten - aka The Great Interruptor - joins Mick again for another fact-filled, deeply-researched, strong but sensitive deep-dive into those corners of the rock world other pods are simply too stoopid to know about.

Featuring Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, Journey, Eagles, Whitesnake, Ozzy and any other rock star you could name.

Are albums still a thing? Or are they literally nothing? Where once they were conceptual in nature, art objects you could hold in your hands, now they are purely conceptual by nature, an idea not an artefact, notional, random-play. Does anyone care? Should they? Really? Join me and Jonny James Hotten as we journey manfully towards the end of side two (or three or four). New podcast episode

Say hello nicely millions of fans to Harry Paterson. Harry authored two of the most daring political biographies this century in Don't Look Back In Anger (deep dive into the miner's strike which he and his family were part of) and Making Plans For Nigel (a comically bleak dissection of the full-fat fool Farage). Harry loves prog, especially Marillion, and writes for cats like Classic Rock, amongst others. An indispensable researcher on several of my books, most especially AC/DC, he also scares me once he gets going - and Harry was born getting going. New podcast episode
