Now listening to Travis Biggs' Solar Funk, the Record Store Day 2024 reissue – which sounds delicious. Particular favourite is Tibetian Serenity, with its dope bass lines and chill grooves

I might buy this and make a Zaphod Beeblebrox costume

I ran a Q&A with Lisa and Louise Burns, AKA the Grady Twins from The Shining last night (after a screening in a bar on a double-decker bus!) and got to chat to them after - they're absolutely lovely.

Watching the BBC micro series Inside Cinema (which I love) and reminded of this glorious moment when Olivia Colman won her Best Actress Oscar, and astonished at how thoroughly this woman can evoke my completely masculine tears just by being awkward and lovely

Listening to an old minidisc of International Pony, We Love Music, which I wish you could hear instead of this 15-year-old version on YouTube:

First time reading The Grapes of Wrath and delighted to discover that capitalism was ruining lives in practically the same way as it does today - hooray!

Hear me out, but, maybe if this was how we all accessed the internet, a lot of current malaise wouldn't be happening...

My wife showed me a picture of a funny bird sheltering its young, and I immediately assumed it was AI but couldn't tell, so that's another simple pleasure ruined, oh well, life is meaningless

It's like Final Destination – a movie title based on an air travel pun, because the first film was about people missing a flight that explodes
The TRON films are weird right? It’s now a trilogy of movies where the title character is at most a supporting role.
It’s like if the first three Die Hard films were named after Sgt. Al Powell.

Finally looked up how to get rid of Google‘s automatic AI answers (and the attached waste of resources) and it‘s so easy! What relief. 😅
