And happy birthday to Her Majesty Elaine May!

I heard there was a tasty meal
From Mexico, with great appeal
It's quick to make and could be so much harder
A spicy sauce to make you smile
It's topped with cheese and baked a while
The warming and delicious
Enchilada

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Oh, lovely - listening to it now!

Indeed! I wasn’t quite the first, sadly

Overheard a tiny boy on the tram, as we went past a cemetery:

‘That’s where all the people that died are buried in the ground, isn’t it?’

‘Yes, that’s right.’

‘And I’ll be dead and buried in the ground, won’t I?’

Although be was hauled down by the keeper he still managed to stroke the ball home. But for the second week running Durant had to leave the field injured, this time suffering eye trouble. The winning goal was another 25-yard shot - again from Blackstones' central defender - coming from their second chance of the game. Gary Cooper, recently signed from Old Boys, had a good debut.

I instantly fell very hard for this - I think it’s one of the best films I’ve ever seen.

“What’s so special about…” etc.

Another(!) delivery - this time of Frank Sinatra’s Songs for Swingin’ Lovers!

This is getting to be a habit.

Seeing them on Sunday!

A brown cardboard mailer. Is this some kind of record?

It is! A brand new reissue of Quebec by Ween, to be precise.

Not a bad post day.

Gah, missed this one when I was there last Nov. Went to Cherry Picker, but Rombaux didn’t even come up on a Google Maps search for record shops. Ah well, will just have to go back…

Energy In Northampton - Linda Jardim YouTube video by EvenThisNameTaken

Just remembered “Energy In Northampton”, a song commissioned by the Northampton Development Corporation to promote Northampton, in which aliens visit Northampton

Silently they came one night / attracted by the glowing light / their scanners led them to the town Northampton

Really enjoyed this, which positions JJ as a musician who just happens to make the odd film now and again, and reminded me that there are a few of those I need to catch up on.

A poster for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You

Wow, I picked a great time finally to catch up with this, in a big week for the old stress and anxiety. (It’s great, don’t get me wrong, but WHEW.)

I read this in the paper edition at the weekend, in case anyone seeing this has a subscription; can’t recall if it mentioned GR but I am concerned for the futures of the other items mentioned: www.ft.com/content/7a4d...

They were rather fab, yes!

(also, 😮)

I am heading there as we speak with that express purpose, even though it is, as ever, a pain in the bum to get to.
