the day that society at large understands that testosterone and estrogen are necessary hormones in your body regardless of your sex, and that hormone supplementation is a health question rather than a loaded emotional question, will be one of the greatest days in human history.
when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”
when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

Why yes, I did once leave my copy of Ash's 1977 running while starting to watch Batman Returns on VHS and then spending several minutes trying to work out why Michael Gough seemed to be vomiting and giggling as Alfred walked around Gotham Plaza.

When 90s albums get reissued, instead of deluxe expanded editions they should do versions cut down to a nice tight 40 minutes or so

Also new from BBC Archive, this fantastic documentary about the Mike Stuart Span, A Year in the Life (1969), with the bonus of a 1989 catch-up interview at the end. If you like psychedelia, showbiz and/or Brighton, this is for you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBua...

So, let's make today's news all about me. The second time I met Brian was during the first Smile tour. I was blown away by how the finished Smile turned out and wanted to communicate that to Brian. I remembered Brian saying he wanted to make people feel loved so I thought I'd take that approach. 1/2

My favourite one like this is Don Henley getting Brian to autograph a copy of Pet Sounds. Brian signed it "thanks for all the great music" then thought for a second, crossed out "great", and wrote "good"
My favourite Brian Wilson story was when Bono kneeled at his feet backstage & waxed lyrical about his influence, the power of music, transcendent, etc.
After several minutes of this he interrupted Bono by saying “Say, could you go get me a Coke?”
(In fairness, he apparently did)

Honestly, you could make a great little sunshine pop album from the Velvets' catalogue. "Sunday Morning", "I'll Be Your Mirror", "Who Loves the Sun", "Ride Into the Sun", "I'm Sticking With You", "Pale Blue Eyes", "After Hours", "New Age", "Femme Fatale".

A Cat Under The Influence of LSD created by Martin Birch c.1960s in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where he was compelled to live.
This is part of a large body of work full of literary references & philosophical questions which satirises the psychiatric system which held power over him

I remember being astonished when filling out a *Waterstones loyalty card* that they had tickboxes for how many books you buy a year and the top answer was "ten or more"
40% of Britons haven't read a single book in the last 12 months, with the median Briton having read or listened to just three in the past year

First, I would put everything under wraps, hire an unknown director and ask for a budget of $200 million.
Then, I would give the director $2 million, embezzle the rest for silent film preservation and then escape to Montenegro.

Genuine question - if you were the new head of LucasFilm, what would you do to revitalise the Star Wars franchise?

This post got me to thinking about musical opposites, e.g.
• Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tennille
• Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Anyone think of any other examples of this?

Another fun track I've discovered while working on the latest main episode, this is what The Captain from Captain and Tennille was doing in 1964 -- surf-jazz. It is as entirely unlike "Love Will Keep Us Together" as you can get.
The Dragons - "Troll" (1964 tough jazzy surf B-side) RIP 'Captain' Daryl Dragon
