Douchebag Boyfriend Meme: he is walking holding a girl’s hand. Her head has been replaced by Agine De Poitrine’s drummer’s head. He is distracted by a woman in a red dress. Only her head is a Boards of Canada promo VHS tape.
Saw this and had to nick it.
The YouTube comments section on the new Boards Of Canada track is beautiful youtube.com/watch?v=6bgh...
Had a flashback to the MP3 blog days, and remembered how much I loved this banger: youtu.be/-mocAVLanY4?...
Neil from the Young Ones. The Letter To Bank Manager scene with the subtitles "Darling fascist bully boy"
Watched Crash last night, and remembered nearly every book by Ballard is a bit like this
There were a few records that @laurenlaverne.bsky.social played during COVID that got me properly emotional, this was most definitely one of them.
Not listened to this much previously, but had a vague memory of loving a long song on it, and yes, I'm listening to I Dream A Highway now, and probably will again in 10 minutes or so.
First come across this band a few years ago via the song Antabus, which I recommend highly! Some of the best swearing ever in a pop song. Sounds exactly like one of the really good Lukas Moodysson films.
There's a town near me called Hints which I drive past loads without ever checking out
Was listening to a playlist of my favourite ever songs earlier, and was delighted this is back on streaming:

I went to the same high school as Mike Skinner. I didn't know him then, but met him once later as we both went out with the same girl from our school. She claimed Dry Your Eyes was written about her; no idea if that is true!
My dog waiting outside the local pizzeria, which was closed at the time. He still waits outside even though the owner left about two months ago, so hasn't had any treats from there for a while.

Logged into Facebook for the first time in ages around Christmas. Literally the first post was "Allow me to drive you home for Christmas one last time, Mr Rea"
Had to dig this post out as I saw the new War Child album and had to check this was the track in question www.warchild.org.uk/help2
This shot (I seem to remember dogs running past too) has stuck with me for years; the scene inside this bar feels like it might have inspired Lynch. Tarr passing has really got to me, one of the all time greats.
I've started to make a playlist of this and saw 19 is missing; could you tell me what it would have been?

Yet again I've missed the anniversary of this, but it remains a lovely song
A lot have picked up on Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay, but the other one is Many Rivers To Cross isn't it?
