Saw Jimmie Dale Gilmore tonight, in a church that hosts rock shows. Was supposed to be with Dave Alvin, but Dave is sick, so Jimmie enlisted The West Texas Exiles, which includes Jimmie’s son Collin.

This is a bit of a quietly momentous post for me. If you saw my recent posts on here you will know my family and I have been going through a very challenging time. But I know that humour will be my way through it and so I’ve decided to post my nonsense again.

Jeffrey Archer informed me that I could not possibly be correct when I told him that his new book was not the number one bestselling title in the bookshop I was working in.
One of my academic colleagues looks a bit like Bob Mortimer. One time near our labs I saw him walking towards me and I warmly said Hey Kevin. It was Bob Mortimer.

Fun low level anecdote: I once sat near Peter Mandelson in a theatre but I had a name blank and said rather too loudly ‘ooh look it’s Michael Portillo!’
He was visibly unamused.

Well this is quite a strange and beautiful thing - a film made in 1967 to accompany the song Penny Lane - not, it seems, as an official thing, but an independent production.
It is absolutely fascinating to see this - especially for spotting Liverpool locations. www.bfi.org.uk/inside-the-a...

"There are too many black musicians in jazz bands" is comfortably the most delusional thing I have ever read
He sent an 1,170-word email to the entire department, starting with, 'Some white musicians deliberately have black musicians in their band to help them get gigs rather than thinking who is musically suitable' and ending with 'If there is systematic bias in Britain... it is against white people.'

🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford

FIRST CLASS bit of archaeology here. Brilliant work.
In April 1976, in a café at Cambridge railway station, Douglas Adams bought some biscuits. We know this because he told the story so many times that it somehow opened up a wormhole in the space-time continuum, travelling both forwards and backwards and, intriguingly, sideways in time. (1/some...)
