Last month I had the pleasure of recording a segment for this 10-part essay series on BBC Radio 3 with the one and only @jerrybrotton.bsky.social . 'The Death and Life of Christopher Marlowe' starts tonight - don’t miss it; it promises to be sensational. 🕵️

Happy birthday to Robert Smith

Watching Jose Larraz’s film The House that Vanished (which is fairly godawful) and getting a reminder of the lovely colour palette of pub scenes in 1970s British films.

The Terror: Devil in Silver Official Trailer | Feat. Dan Stevens | Coming to AMC+ & Shudder May 7 YouTube video by amc+

UK horror/TV critics! Does anyone know who is looking after the press for The Terror: Devil in Silver which is coming to AMC/Shudder on May 7.

As ever, "I don't know but..." is not a valid reply.

Had a dream that Bill Murray had found out a way to predict the future by something called a Sex Ladder where he watched people have sex on a ladder. However it was later discovered that it was merely an elaborate ruse to allow him to watch people have sex on a ladder. 1/2

Faith by the Cure.

It's Robert Smith's 67th birthday today. I've spent much of the last night fortnight listening to, and writing about, the Cure for tomorrow's INVENTORY. My thoughts on Faith etc, available only via www.patreon.com/backlisted. @backlisted.bsky.social

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Spotted this excellent mural on a school building today while on a bike ride.

Does this count as classical reception?

No hard cheese for women in the Low Countries For women artists in Flanders and Holland in the long 17th century, work could be surprisingly well rewarded, writes Lucy Davies

‘The curators subtly dismiss the creaky old division between the fine and decorative arts that was introduced by mutton-chopped Victorians and efficiently eliminated the disciplines in which women tended to excel.’

Embroidery depicts an owl in a tree, the trunk is wound by a snake climbing, there’s a deer at the lower portion of the trunk, there’s a tortoise to one side approaching a river that has a fish swimming downstream and a hedgehog at the very top, above the tree. There is writing down one side, but I don’t know what it says.
