by Karl Bartos
Omnibus Press
Published 21st July

My dad liked Russian music. Shostakovich was tops. He also liked Abba and funk. There was his whole dance routine to Parliament’s Handcuffs. We watched wide-eyed and wouldn’t talk about it after. Kraftwerk got the thumbs up too (he was a Maths teacher). Karl tells us he made the stuff you could move to, which is great. He looks like a one armed lad I once knew; skin like a baby and eyes that had bad plans for round the back.

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
