There's more to Texas than hats, oil, and BBQ, writes Benjamin Johnson in his sweeping new synthesis, Texas: An American History (Yale UP: 2025) - though, those all matter too. The state's reach has traveled globally, Johnson argues, influencing everything from how people around the world eat, to how they pray, to the music they listen to. In his new book, Johnson describes the long history of the Lone Star State, from its thousands of years of Indigenous habitation up through the present day. Along the way, he makes some surprising detours, including explaining how Indigenous Texas was anything but a backwater to Mesoamerica, and demonstrating the long progressive legacy in a state known today for its ardent conservatism. Texas is a book as big as its topic, trekking through centuries of history via noteworthy anecdotes which provide a window into a place that defies stereotypes.

Milkie is the moniker of songwriter and front woman Millie Phipps, and also the name of her four-piece avant-pop band currently making waves in their hometown of Bristol. Early obsessions with the Beatles' White Album and Serge Gainsbourg guaranteed Millie's early forays into songwriting were somewhat unusual, and she's been writing idiosyncratic pop songs ever since. As a band, Milkie are hard to describe yet distinctively themselves. They're a guitar band, except sometimes they don't play any guitars. They're a synth band but sometimes they'll unplug everything and sit on the floor. Millie's lyrics are the thread that ties it all together. Whether it be grappling with sadness and boredom in equal measure at a family funeral, or daydreaming behind a desk in a miserable office job, she tells everyday stories with a poetic sense of defiance, despair, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. Milkie formed in early 2023, not long before Millie left her grown-up job as a university principal, fed up and yearning to make music again. Spring 2024 has seen Milkie in the studio recording their debut album (due late 2024), produced by guitarist Benjamin Johnson and mixed by TJ Allen (Bat for Lashes, Anna Calvi). For fans of Pulp, Broadcast and Cate Le Bon.
