I log in to Bluesky like an ageing hustler remembering the good old days. Taking a drag on my cigarette, I reminisce about my 2.5k Twitter followers, the past 10k+ likes, all the ease of days gone, and walk back out the door.
got told at the house party that I’m being subtweeted

I was listening to this earlier and it struck me how much of an influence Brian Wilson’s instrumental compositions must have been on Arthur Russell

Why do the titles for this hyper-dramatic Schama TV series look like an early 2000s trance record?

Ed Luker on Caspar Heinemann's show at Studio Voltaire, London. A show I really need to see. Caspar was always good & it will be great to see what form the art now takes. I haven't seen any since his degree show and am very curious about this area of material investigation.

Issue 2 of new film magazine Monochromator is shaping up to be a sharp one — and there’ll be an essay in there from me.

Derek Jarman was writing this in 1989. Swap the clothes shops for American candy stores and Wingstops and how much of this has changed – and that line:

“How can you describe what has been lost to those who’ve never known different?”

you also would’ve thought the fascists were losers in 1934 too — the point is a fundamentally cynical and mistrustful culture makes it hard to build solidarity

quite beautiful, in an era where earnestness is hard to do, that lots of the tributes are “David Lynch taught me that it was okay to be weird.”

A.I. could never reproduce the feeling of a David Lynch movie

Something very Lynchian about David Lynch dying from a smoking related illness in the immediate aftermath of wildfires in his Californian landscape. There’s an analogy, smoke / fire, a symbolic shape, but no firm correlation — a kind of poetic thought.

went to BFI to see Visconti’s Ludwig and everyone booed the only advert before, shouting “rubbish” at James Cameron talking about the magic of cinema 🤣
