Listened to Dandy Hooligan, a new song by Babyshambles. Dear Lord. The hooligan and the dandy are fascinating historical concepts, always evolving through the Englands they've existed – rich creative source material but *how* does he keep getting away with this clichéd lorrrrluvvaduck drivel?

Patti Smith's Horses hitting 50 years old (and the excellent Quietus essay celebrating it) had me digging it out for the first time in years.
It's fucking incredible, isn't it? I think I forgot.

Barely slept. My insomnia has been soundtracked by a brief snippet of a terrible piece of music and five words of lyrics.
Thanks to some creative googling, I managed to discover it was this which - since I haven't seen Kentucky Fried Movie since the early eighties -

I'm too tired and defeated to articulate this very coherently and I have no sparkling insight but it seems the very definition of cruel irony that the BBC could be dealt a death blow because of perceived LEFT WING bias.

Fuck it, I've joined the Green Party. Given my previous form for such things, we can expect Zack Polanski to kick the shit out of an orphan or praise Genghis Khan or be photographed at a Sam Fender gig any day now 😞

188. Mustang (Curzon, 2015)
Somehow forgot I'd seen this before but more than happy to have watched it again because it's great. Lightness and humour in the face of patriarchal bullshit, a dreaminess to the sisters' isolation that has parallels with The Virgin Suicides...

23. Denis Johnson - The Name Of The World (2000)
This is a beautiful book.
It starts like any number of those novels set in dry academic circles with a character numbed by grief. But as he's shaken out of the numbness by a woman who seems like she's slipped out of a Leonard Cohen song...

LEVI'S - THE STRANGER (1971): This psychedelic Levi jeans advert is a beautifully animated work of art (rotoscoping in action!). Spoken word jazz legend Ken Nordine provides the cool voiceover.

"I didn’t think often about that which people called God, but for some time now I’d certainly hated it, this killer, this perpetrator, in whose blank silver eyes nobody was too insignificant, too unremarkable, too innocent and too small to be overlooked in the parceling out of tragedy.”
