One key missing bit from Get Back on the January 2 Nagras that would have been nice: George's performance of "Let It Down" (another link to the solo years. I think that's a constant contemporary Apple narrative: blurring the solo and Beatles years to become as one). www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SpH...

The Steve McQueen exhibition, Resistance: How Protest Shaped Britain And Photography Shaped Protest, currently on at Modern Two is illuminating, brilliant and beautiful. I'm drawn to joy as resistance
In 1959, activist and journalist Claudia Jones organised the first Caribbean Carnival at St Pancras Town Hall - a defiant celebration in response to racist violence, including the murder of carpenter Kelso Cochrane in Notting Hill. As founder of the West Indian Gazette, Jones understood that joy could be a form of resistance. Her indoor carnival, featuring steel bands, calypso and masquerade, was a cultural celebration and a powerful platform for political solidarity. Despite ongoing tensions through the decades, the spirit of her carnival lives on in today's Notting Hill Carnival, where Caribbean culture proudly asserts its place in British life. An unknown photographer captured a couple dancing with only eyes for each other. They are surrounded by other people dressed up to the nines. Photographer Raissa Page captures women dancing on top of a missile silo at Greenham Common Photographer Pam Isherwood captures a couple of women still dancing on top of a missile silo after the police have disrupted the previous dance.

Four-Song Peel Session of soul singer Ann Peebles from October 9, 1974. John Peel thought she was “the owner of one of the world’s great voices” and “I Can’t Stand the Rain” (written with husband Don Bryant) was one of his favourite singles. #RIPDonBryant
