I often use Bandcamp, but they wanted £12 to download the new Dry Cleaning. For a quid more, I got a physical copy and a signed poster. I think they need to look at pricing.

Jean Kent navigates a wave of parental abuse, pimping, razor gangs, sadism, masochism, closeted homosexuality, open lesbianism, alcoholism, black marketeering, army desertion and murder. All this is recounted to young Diana Dors to make a good girl of her. Her later films suggest it didn’t take.

Good-Time Girl is picaresque juvenile delinquency exploitation dressed up as a public service warning, the way that Warner 30s gangster films always had to carry “Don’t copy the bad behaviour of these terrible men!” warnings.

Not that I’m gatekeeping the Proper Fan title, but some of us toughed out the 80s—90s “national embarrassment” years. Also, enough with the lightning flash. It’s an easy Insta hook, but he wore it once.

Pure guesswork, but I’m getting Gil Kane from some features.

I liked it so much, I bought one.
This is my new album.
It's instrumental, apart from some crowd chanting on Your Gold, Mr Bridger.
The average tune length is two minutes and eight seconds.
There are fourteen tunes.
It sounds like old telly music.
It's ace.
I'd love it if you listened.
I've love it even more if you shared it.

Thank you! Someone pointed out that it overall had a melancholy feel, which wasn’t intentional.

It was said of Eliot’s The Waste Land that its power lay in its resistance to interpretation. 10 years on, I still haven’t cracked a fraction of Blackstar’s secrets, something which is true of other Bowie masterpieces like The Bewlay Brothers and Station to Station. He couldn’t give everything away.

This song, more than ever, is a depth charge, a time bomb. I daren’t listen to it in public.

Starting the year with the classic tradition of at last discovering great records from the year that’s gone, I’m digging Anthony Naples’ Scanners. Sleek techno that fans of Underworld will love.
