Harlan Pepper would know. youtu.be/xf-oitGkGEw?...

Round one. Making a perfect martini while a thug with a machete tries to slice you up.

No Mr. Bond, I Expect You to AI

Now, that’d be an interesting choice.

I’d guess they’d go for someone younger. Charli XCX if she hadn’t already done ‘Wuthering Heights’. Safe money bet would be Raye.

Is he wearing the same diaper though?

Lana Del Rey - First Light (Lyric Video) YouTube video by Lana Del Rey

Ooh, new Lana Del Rey and it’s a Bond theme. Well, after a fashion. youtu.be/fA82c4YkAZ4?...

The Blue Nile - Tinseltown in the Rain (Official Audio) YouTube video by The Blue Nile Official

Happy 70th birthday to Paul Buchanan. Hopefully he can put his feet up and start to take things easy now. youtu.be/2q5CGLHJ-54?...

Happy birthday. Cake needs one layer for each year.

He’s probably deep undercover.

BBC Two - McCartney: The Hunt for the Lost Bass The story of McCartney’s original Höfner bass and the fan-powered quest to find it.

‘The Hunt for the Lost Bass’ is a delight. Anarchist hippies, assorted dodgy dealers: the counter culture meeting the under the counter culture to hilarious and ultimately moving effect.

Jessie Ware joined by hopeful Ryan at Middlesbrough Empire.

One guy asked if she had any tips on making it as a singer. He unsuccessfully tried punting himself as a support, but did get the chance to audition for her. He did a creditable version of ‘Diamonds’ with Jessie on backing vocals.

Jessie Ware at Middlesbrough Empire.

Fabulous Jessie Ware bringing some showbiz glamour to Middlesbrough tonight. In a funny and emotional q&a she was asked who she’d like to work with and said the Pet Shop Boys. Please make it happen.

This Week’s Listening:

Nothing says Friday like thirty 1950s bus tickets from Milwaukee. www.presentandcorrect.com/blogs/blog/g...

A typographic carnival.

What could they possibly do to top this moment in their lives?

Hats off to Tunnock's for some epic product placement.

An ILXor friend posting just now in response to that Melania thing: "lying flotus." I think I'm done for the day after that.

It’s not exactly Hapshash and the Coloured Coat.

Cover of Michael Shermer’s book CONSPIRACY, in which the word is spelled out as jumbled letters connected by thin red lines against a white background, evoking notes and clippings strung together on a board

i always take a moment to appreciate good book cover design

This is oddly specific.

Oh no! Scrambled eggs on toast with Gentleman’s Relish is a breakfast treat.

I can't believe we have reached this point, but this bears crystal clear emphasis: Our global climate system ensures that even "limited" use of lower-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons against civilian or industrial targets would have major regional-to-global scale consequences.

XTC - Wake up YouTube video by TheLilBlackbird

Going back to XTC would this be herky jerky enough? youtu.be/Oiyn0_m2LZQ?...

Nothing to add to sentiments above other than work can look after itself. You need to look out for yourself first.
