Many a night, Spike entertained me to the wee hours during my teenage years. The whole Interwub thing: every new exciting name or idea sent me searching for more… The open night, boundless and revelatory.

Of course, Steve Mitchelmore’s stuff was always in a league of its own. Take the review of Tadie’s “Marcel Proust” . The beginning has stuck with me as a perfect emblem of art’s availability. Art patiently awaits our participation. And when we are ready, art makes itself known.

Thanks, one and all!

“I remember being keen on calling it “Ellipsis”.”

Yes, I remember that too but I decided to elide it.

Big congratulations to everyone at Spike, except for me, as that would be self-congratulation, which would be plain wrong.

Luton. Dear god. I remember being keen on calling it “Ellipsis”. Luckily Adam persuaded me that it was too wanky. He had some mates that even produed a Spike musical theme. Thankfully I never heard it. Bet it didn’t sound like Sheryl Crow though

Eee, remember that car journey to Luton in which we discussed possible names for the site. “Kevin” for example. I also remember a Sheryl Crow record on the radio, that one that goes: “if it makes you happy, blah blah blah” and I thought: oh do shut up.
