Music! Films! Sometimes football!
Excellent effort by Mojo making this CD look like a Smiths 7"!
Wonderful issue too and cd, the Alan Sparrowhawk song is new to me and really good.
Sad to read Johnny Marr was so tight with money regarding the Smiths rhythm section.

I was literally just telling someone on Wednesday that this had died down and then this airs last night. Poor Tommy.

One minute you’re watching a band and the lead singer/guitarist seems really cool and the next minute you’re his fiancée and you’re sitting in the living room of the house you bought together and he’s playing the theme tune of Animal Hospital to you on his Stratocaster. Life is wild.

Full of super melodies and the great man often plays really hard here. He also seems really re-energised, and there's some fascinating lyrics.What's not to like?

@ricrus77.bsky.social Hi Richard, did you get To The Rescue at your Divine Comedy gig?
October 26, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Support band last night Studio Electrophonique really good! Think fans of Belle and Sebastian like @grahamh.bsky.social will like them.

The Divine Comedy marvellous last night in Bristol, super versions of many classics incl. Our Mutual Friend and Norman & Norma. The highlight though was a highly moving version of the new classic The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
Small moan, no To The Rescue-their best song?

It's been cancelled! 🎉.
Well done to the 22 Spanish players who protested against this bullshit. Shame on you La Liga.

Saw this at the cinema today - superb! A brilliant, intelligent thriller. Emma Thompson owed me after the appalling Last Christmas and repaid with compound interest!

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament.

But you can parse a duchy and he’s left outside.

Good night.

Ava Gardner and me 😊. In Tossa in Catalonia. Ava made a film here. Frank missed her so much he flew in halfway through filming.
Beautiful area.
