You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well, it doesn't. In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider! And, that goes for you, too!

I can get why some people may be averse to IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, but “Remember, no man is a failure who has friends” and “To my brother George, the richest man in town” both absolutely destroy me on a raw, emotional level that no other film ever has, so…

Four albums that dropped when you were in high school and defined your taste forever

The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr…. and Blur.
If it weren’t for the slight hearing loss, I’d have trouble believing it actually happened…. and happened for £12.50.

Which painting has exceeded your expectations most when you've seen it in person?
Mine below -

Partie de bateau, Gustave Caillebotte

Highlight of a trip to the Musee d’Orsay in 2023. This, and Caillebotte’s Les raboteurs de parquet, had me transfixed.

What's the horror movie that got you into horror?

Probably too young to have watched, terrified for weeks that I’d find 666 in my hairline.

What perfect album(s) came out when you were 16?

If you could create any physical media box set what would it be? You choose the theme.

Trains.

Actually, Jamiroquai is the name of the band. The singer you're talking about is Jamiroquai's monster...
