I think I've done something wrong. I don't know what it was, but I'm dreading my annual appraisal 🐈😬

Despite looking like four plasterers, #TheMotors were purveyors of superior pub-rock-power-pop, as evident on two cracking singles (Airport and Grandstand theme soundalike "Forget About You"). Both feature on this, their second LP, released in '78. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

OK - so I’m an addict and not remotely a critical judge where The Beatles are concerned. But oh man, I LOVE this version. The vocal.

Well, to begin with today, it’s the 110th anniversary of the actress Dulcie Gray, who in an early West End role attracted the attention of Aleister Crowley, who “supposedly invited her to be sacrificed at dawn in a ceremony at Stonehenge. She politely declined as she disliked getting up early”
Dulcie Gray
Born: November 20, 1915; Died: November 15, 2011.

I’ve been to the Whitworth Art Gallery shop to visit a print I was commissioned to create exclusively for them.
It’s very exciting to see my design for sale in the shop.

The early Lubitsch musicals in HD! Delmer Daves’ best film! William Holden’s greatest performance! Cassavetes’ humourless but well-acted mental illness epic! Jacques Tati’s boring piece of shit!

I live miles out in the countryside in the Peak District these days. At night it’s very quiet. Used to live in Boscobel House in Hackney. My bedroom was on a level with the Liverpool Street northbound line. Occasionally, & just now, a load of screaming sirens go past & I’m ashamed to say I like it.

Frustrating to read the (Guardian-prompted) discourse around David Szalay's Flesh. It isn't a novel about being a man but a novel about being human. How do I know? Because I asked him in front of witnesses.

just learned about the delightful 1940s.nyc, which matches tax assessment photos with old maps for maximum street-view time travel. here's the almanac house, where pete seeger & woody guthrie threw basement gigs & partied with dashiell hammett & nicholas ray, among others.
