Miserable out there today. If you don’t have to go anywhere, sofa surf & enjoy a trio of classic films on BBC2 starting with Laura, then this afternoon we have The Life & Death of Colonel Blimp, followed by I Know Where I’m Going.

Great that there's a Powell and Pressburger film season on BBC.
Heard from Thelma Schoonmaker that the doc I made about I Know Where I'm Going! will be shown too. Don't know when.
Made it decades ago, not my usual style, but if you love IKWIG you might like it.

Another sad hopeful song for sad hopeful people. Give it a listen if you like Bright Eyes, Daniel Johnston, Mount Eerie, Robert Wyatt, Elliott Smith - stuff like that.

I could not be happier to announce that I have curated a season of Luchino Visconti's works, featuring a 4k restoration of my favourite, Rocco and his Brothers, for January 2025. More than half of the films will be screening on 35mm at BFI Southbank. More info here: www.bfi.org.uk/news/luchino...

I try to make sad yet hopeful songs for sad yet hopeful people. Sometimes it's hard to get the balance right. Here's a new one I'm working on.

P.S. really liking Bluesky so far. Let's be friends.
