Agreed. FWIW I think its reputation is hampered by its name, whereas the Brandenburgs were enhanced by theirs. Dumbarton Oaks sounds like a furniture superstore.

Anyone enjoying the ravishingly-shot new Netflix #Amadeus romp who fancies a quick fact-cleanse on that final year of Mozart's life could do worse than check out this doc we made from 23 yrs (!) ago youtu.be/XhwgL3MGuaw?...

The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up.
A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

It turns out that a song of mine (NICE VIDEO, SHAME ABOUT THE SONG) is an actual exhibit in this. Am v chuffed, as I definitely wasn't anywhere near as cool as any of the folk involved in all this at the time. Or now.
