the greatest lyric of all time prompt doing the rounds is a fool's errand but I'm listening to Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest - not even my favourite Bill Callahan - and 747's 'we are flies on a mule, and we're good at what we do' might be up there for me

only Wiseman I've seen is National Gallery, he has been prohibitively hard to come by here, and I see that up until last month and the release of the new BFI boxset (still only a handful) National Gallery remained the only one available on disc

have seen little but contempt for "Wuthering Heights" online this weekend, or at least what positive I've seen has come from outside the UK, is it too much to hope that this is maybe a turning point in only giving posh people access to the arts
he was at the same private school at the same time as FKA Twigs, no harm to either of them, both good at what they do, but the grip that private education has over the arts in this country is fucking rotten man

feels very Oscars that Dion Beebe's Best Cinematography award is for Memoirs of a Geisha and not Collateral or Miami Vice, which he shot on either side of it

he meant the people he deported
On Valentine’s Day, Barack Obama appeared on a podcast and said aliens are real. On February 15, he clarified that he meant they’re probably out there, but he hasn’t seen any.

watching him in Better Call Saul was a real 'WHO IS THIS GUY AND WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN HIM IN ANYTHING UNTIL NOW' kind of moment

once bought an album at the merch table at a Raveonettes gig staffed by the bassist, who didn't realise I'd given her a 20 for an album that cost a tenner and stared at me blankly while I waited for my change
