The economics of self-releasing music as physical media, a thread.
My first self-released CD is SEA OTTERS by The Bionics, an album of Not-Quite-Techno made in a very analogue way, and on our Bandcamp page along with 17 back catalogue treats.

I love that after doing the music for BLUE VELVET, Angelo Badalamenti threw himself into composing the score for NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION. And then Twin Peaks.

One of my DVD extra documentaries (for a really rubbish film as it turned out) had a montage of room tones, and it is one of the best things I ever made. This is also great.

This wouldn't work for me as I'm very sophisticated and watch loads of b/w stuff. If anything I'd look at my phone more, buzzing with the thrill of perhaps seeing a still from Jules et Jim or Casablanca, but it turns out to be one of you posting pics of Emu on Parkinson

After switching her phone to black and white, Julia Angwin writes, “an invisible cord had been severed. I would leave my phone in my room when I walked from my home office to the kitchen. I would forget to check it for hours instead of minutes.”

Oh my God this has made my Christmas even more than sneaking in a quick play of Computer World while doing the gravy.

Two lots of washing up, two bags of recycling taken out, telly checked to make sure we can watch National Lampoon, and it's not even 12:30. I would have made such a great dad.

It’s a page of nonsense to print off and colour in to keep a child busy while you cook or for you to have some calm crayons time. Merry Christmas!

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

I don't know much about football but I did my best to make the right face at my American guests who left the Arsenal v. Crystal Palace game 3 minutes before Palace equalised and penalties.

Brain: I'm going to sing the first line of Driving Home For Christmas all day, ok?
My mind: Please don't, I've never liked it.
Brain: OK, fair enough, let's have Another Rock 'n' Roll Christmas instead then!
My mind: i give up

To think how I used to idolise Depp playing against his looks and cool so brilliantly, and now all I can do is gurgle "Sausage" every time those adverts come on.
