I remember hearing this on the radio in my early teens and setting off on a hunt for it the following weekend. It blew my mind wide open hearing the various genres colliding.

Eclectic actor Udo Kier passes away at 81. I lose count of the many films I have seen over the years - across genres and budgets - that were levelled up by his presence.

Happy #40th birthday to one of my favourite albums. "So Red The Rose" by #Arcadia.
Pompous, arty, preposterous and fun.
To quote some of the lyrics:

Legendary Hollywood actor Robert Redford passes away at 89. Far too many iconic roles to mention, so here is a picture from my favourite, the gloriously enjoyable "Sneakers".

Every bloody time! Warm weather, window open at night and a room full of flying kaiju whilst trying to sleep 🤦
Pumped for Pulp 🙏
Val Kilmer passes away at 65. Star of the ridiculously funny "Top Secret" and cult classic "The Salton Sea" as well the big guns of "Batman Forever" and the "Top Gun" films, his quirky style continued even after a visible battle with throat cancer.

My first memory of watching Gene Hackman. As a small child I was entranced by the character "Harry Caul" in the movie "The Conversation". I was too young to understand what was going on, but it captured a part of my mind for good.

It's like a multiverse of Post-punk and goth opens up on every other page.
Mr Pie hitting the proverbial nails on their collective heads. IMHO.
