My Word Of Mouth interview with the marvellous Steve Lamacq, surprisingly brimming with his love for Ian Rankin and compilations of '70s glam rock, is in the new issue of Word. Err, that's it. Subscribe here.
Hello. Jude Rogers here, a feature writer and reviewer for The Guardian, the BBC, the Times, The Word Magazine, the New Statesman and Wire. Back in the dim and distant, I founded flag-waving women's website The Lipster, and co-founded a quarterly magazine-shaped love letter to the city in which I live, Smoke: A London Peculiar. I'm also a Mercury Music Prize judge, map-loving geek and tireless romantic who has been made a cup of tea by Robert Plant, shared a Pret salad with Bjork, had a proper barney with Ben Goldacre, shared croissants with David Mitchell, been serenaded by Randy Newman, and wasn't sure quite what to do when Cat Power had a wee in front of me. Wipe your feet on the way in, please, put the kettle on, or, if you'd rather, e-mail me here.
