RIP Peter Watkins (1935–2025)
Culloden, The War Game, and Punishment Park alone would cement him as one of the greatest British directors, but he delivered a virtually flawless run of films. A sad loss.

Found one of my favourite music clips again, which always feels like it has drifted in from another dimension. From the introduction, to the stage set, to the cast of characters, to the music itself, it all feels like a dream: Pete Drake & His Talking Steel Guitar - 'Forever'

TikTok was never going anywhere. The TikTok creator gave millions to Trump and they orchestrated this whole PR stunt just so Trump will be seen as a 'hero' to young people.
It was literally the Kidz Bop version of the Reichstag Fire

My Black Eye Friday pick of things I've enjoyed listening to this year. Woefully incomplete, these are off the top of my noggin'. I'll dredge up some more as they occur to me.
