Catherine O'Flynn had her debut novel, What Was Lost, long-listed for this year's Booker Prize. This has come on top of its being long-listed for the Orange Prize and being selected to be the Radio Five Live Book of the month for March.

If you haven't read the book yet, check out the first five chapters here -- we're sure you'll want to read on, so you can buy it here or, if you're keen to follow what those in the know think you should be reading, check out the Observer review here. Or the Grauniad review here, the Independent review here, or evidently a bit of a bad review here.

If you're the kind of person who's in the mood for something a little more exclusive, check out Flynn's latest little article at Nettlewine nemesis site Birmingham: It's not shit (or 'Bins'...).

Invocal are set to delight their worryingly determined fans with an EP of brand new material. Four Songs About Love, Madness and Glove Puppets has hit the Nettlewine Cellar shelves, and is maturing nicely. Get 'em while they're not got!

recommendations for the bored at work

Nettlewine has been passing the long hours of work by reading the blog section of the invocal mySpace page. Very funny.

The Chimpanman blog is also good in a philosophical-about-music sort of a way.
