Anyone know what’s happened to this weeks (14th November) Late Junction on BBC Sounds? The entire recording is 1 minute long. I do hope this gets fixed.

Sophie Agnel: SONG

If I was to choose my favourite 'new to me' discovery of this year, Sophie Agnel would be right up there. Both this and 'Learning' are wonderfully creative & ingenious albums of experimental solo piano improvisation 😍

I’m very much with Will Hawkes on this one.
It's the worst beer vessel. Like drinking out of a vase
One more! @willhawkes.bsky.social offers this aside: “Having ordered…the only cask beer available, it is served in a dimpled handled jug - the worst drinking vessel on earth. The jug of shame!”

1, counterpoint, it’s the *best* vessel, and 2, this is the hottest hip mug in the U.S. culture is weird!

C is for ‘Carnival of Souls’ in my #folkhorroralphabet released in 1962 and directed by Herk Harvey. It’s a low budget cult classic, unsettling period Americana that inspired directors like David Lynch and George Romero.
