Yeh, there's a lot of content-free breathless purple prose and clunky repetition in some of these. There's a couple I've always thought about writing but my self doubt stops me stops me submitting the idea; but given the quality of some I've read... 🤷

but overall it's informative and passionate about one of the very greatest records.

2/2

14. Leah Kardos - Hounds Of Love (2024)

These 33 1/3 books are of wildly varying quality; thankfully, this is one of the better ones. There are passages that are mystifying to the unmusical ("the verse descends from Am7 to Fmaj9, then temporarily pauses on a hamstrung resolution of Am7...")...

108. The Right Stuff (torrent, 1983 - Philip Kaufman)

Sprawling, epic, involving. Swerves the easy hero narrative.

Miriam Margolyes just gave out this year's University Challenge trophy. Her first TV appearance was as a contestant in 1963 She got in trouble for saying "fuck" when she got a question wrong and became the first person to say it on UK TV... You go, girl

They weren't. My friend was in the tour van and apparently it was... tense.

I spent a wonderful night getting drunk with them last year. I expected to be regaled with wonderful tales of playing impromptu gigs in the Transylvanian mountains but instead they were comparing notes on the latest episode of Blue Lights, which their manager downloads and shares with them 😁

So the fucking prick literally spent ten minutes wanging on about football.

The beautiful game...

2/2

Just got a cab. Cabbie tried to engage me in a conversation about Arsenal or something. I explained I didn't care about football.

"In my cab, we chat about football or getting all the immigrants out."

"Ah. Best stick with football then."

1/2

Certainly feels like it...

held my hands above my head and subjected me to 15 minutes of CT scan whooshes and judders while filling my veins with dye.

So, Berghain basically...

I feel weird

Hospital this morning. So many appointments I forget which is which so it's always a nice surprise.

Today they got me topless and prone, hooked me up to some machines, injected me with beta blockers, gave me some medical grade poppers...

The first few minutes of Annette were great so I had high hopes but it was one of the most unbearably boring films I've ever seen (and I'm a big fan of Carax and Sparks)

107. Autumn Sonata (BFI, 1978 - Ingmar Bergman)

Fuck me.

Families, eh?

Can't remember specific lines but the scene where Omar is shopping for court-appropriate clothes is just golden

Chris Evert, Chris Cross, Chris Isaak and Chris Hemsworth?

Nearly 2,000 records in my Discogs want list. I'll be dead before I've got them all. It's all a bit daft really...

he just seems like another franchise pretty boy to me. Have to admit I don't even remember him being in Furiosa :D

The Now Sound Of Young Newcastle

Most of the techno / electronic stuff I was sent or bought in the nineties was on CD and when I sold my entire CD collection I didn't get around to replacing everything right away. I'm still filling gaps - like these three alltimers

Next to no sleep. Going to try and get through the day without a nap but with a bucket of coffee and a series of Alice Coltrane records...

Life is complicated 🙂
