Welcome Felix

Felix Hywel Dennis, born 8.17pm on Saturday June 30th at King's College Hospital, London. He was 8lb 8oz.

Facts about Felix: he smiles a lot (see photo); he says "lair" when he's hungry; admires his big brother Jude, bangs his fighty hand on his mother when he wants more milk; sleeps at night (hallelujah!); and likes his dad singing daft songs to him.

Alice Coltrane RIP

I was excited about Alice Coltrane's return to making music - so sad she's passed away. The antithesis of the "rock wife" of Spinal Tap fame, she made some brilliant albums in her own right. I'm a sucker for a harp, and anything with Pharoah Sanders is worth hearing. Read John L Waters' obit here.
