Paul Morley talking about his new book Far Above The World: The Time and Space of David Bowie, at The Ivy House this evening with Simon Goddard.
Amongst other things, Paul said if you ever needed a biopic/doc about Bowie, just watch The Man Who Fell To Earth. @ivyhousenunhead.bsky.social

Farewell, Diane Ladd. Unforgettable as Marietta Fortune, Lulu's momma in David Lynch's Wild at Heart, where her powerhouse of a performance more or less stole the whole damn show.

Suzanne Vega tonight at the Royal Albert Hall. She delivered an immaculate performance. Her voice just doesn't seem to age. She was joined by Gerry Leonard (Spooky Ghost) from David Bowie's band. His magic touch suits her songs so well. @suzyv @RoyalAlbertHall @spookyghostnyc

Glen Matlock discussing 'I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol' after a screening at Hackney Picturehouse.

Cardiacs record signing at @banquetrecords.com yesterday for their bloody marvellous, typically bonkers new album, LSD (their first in over 25 years). I was so chuffed to be able to have a little chat with Jim Smith who kindly signed my copy of Is This The Life.

I never saw Dr. Feelgood, so it was a joy to witness Johnson Willis and Jon House recreate the band performing on stage. Plus, we had a fabulous bonus of Norman Watt-Roy and Wilko's son, Simon Johnson joining in at the end.
