I spoke with Idlewild as they released first album in six years.
“…around that time [of 100 Broken Windows] I was unselfconscious. If I was reading a book by Gertrude Stein or on postmodernism, I would put it in a song. I wouldn’t really do that now.’’

We talked ‘Great Things’, ‘King of the Curb’, press culture, the fall of Britpop, and more.

RIP Robert Redford. What a legacy he has left behind — both in front and behind the camera. A heartthrob who transcended the tag. He was not only a fantastic actor, but a man of substance.
We’ve lost one of the all-time greats.

The Charlatans are good, aren’t they?
Want to hear memories of a ‘terrified’ Gary Neville cameo in 2015? Or how supporting Oasis at Knebworth probably saved the band?

Cinema has undoubtedly lost one of its greats today. Here was an artist who never tired in stretching the form’s boundaries, be it reshaping narrative possibilities and/or the approach to aesthetics. Lynch expanded film’s vocabulary exponentially. His mark will always be felt.

Finally watched THREADS (1984) last night on iPlayer, and I still haven’t recovered this morning. It’s so sobering it could snap an alcoholic out of a stupor mid-bender. A truly terrifying depiction of a nuclear war and its aftermath. What a warning shot.

I’ve cherished the electric portion of Bob Dylan’s ‘Royal Albert Hall’ concert (Bootleg Series, Vol 4) for around 30 yrs. It made me resistant to the release of the ‘real’ concert. But, aside from preferring ‘Tell Me, Momma’ on the former, I concede it’s a FAR superior performance across the board.
