• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Litopia’s first entirely in-house audiobook has just gone on sale on Audible (also Amazon and iTunes). It’s been an interesting and very instructive experience.

I have a dozen coupons that will give each person a FREE copy of the audiobook – normal price £15.69.

If you’d like a copy, simply send me a message and I’ll send you a unique code you can use at checkout (full instructions below).

And the catch?

Well, it is a pretty vivid book – very rock & roll. Excess all areas, as we say. If you’re easily offended, you’ll be easily offended...

Riff-Raff, Rebels & Rock Gods: An Extreme Memoir from the Golden Years of Rock

Written & narrated by our own Garry Bushell

Link to Audible UK

The real catch, though, is that I’d like you to leave a review on Audible (if you hate it, - don’t bother!)

Capisce? :)

Finnish Glam Rock band, Hanoi Rocks, are shocked by the conditions of the people on tour in an India governed by Mrs Gandhi. Expenses only. Later, there will be a far greater shock...

 
Rainbow's 'Since You've Been Gone' was more my cup of tea back in the day, but this from Iron Maiden is a favourite riff: I've heard the introduction rendered slower in a live cover version, and the effect was eerie, even moving:

 
Iron Maiden do have some awesome guitar work. Steve Harris is a great bassist. If you like The Trooper, listen to Paschendale from the Dance of Death album.
