In my early 20s I had a wardrobe in my bedroom with a mirror door. It had swung open while I was on a night out. Came in, opened the bedroom door and came face to face with what I thought, in my drunken state, was an intruder. Instantly went into fight/flight mode and nearly smashed the mirror...

I'll be giving this a mizuna.

I keep a chicken pied-à-terre in Chicken Mews.

Made this mistake once in an open plan office. The open plan office was mightily amused.

I thought it was Frank Nitti from The Untouchables. Before he was thrown off a roof, obviously.

I know what you mean. It's like having a bag of shelled pistachios - too much of a good thing all at once. That's my analogy and I'm sticking with it.

Matt Stevens? Good Movies as Old Books share.google/cVZhZ2PqCEKj...

Failing that Chris Barker has done similar things I think.

They got the Steely Dan t-shirts after all. (Really love the way he sings "coup de grace" in that song)

Yes, Steely Dan Aja. And I'm British - Sam is pretty big over here.

Aja is amazing. As is Sam Fender. Big fan.

They're a band I've known for a long time but just not the really deep cuts. It's all brilliant.

I love both Khruangbin and Sufjan Stevens and can confirm Sam Fender is well worth your time. I'm also currently doing a very deep dive on Steely Dan, which is long overdue.

I'd forgotten about the size thing! In fact I've tried to forget about the whole film.

Probably my favourite ever review. Also fun is Peter Bradshaw's takedown of Ang Lee's Hulk - not as good as Deacon's, but you have to admire his commitment to the bit.

30 years for me! Glastonbury 95. Still amazing.

Let's not forget the hilarious "Dickens Cider". Not sure Noel's mental age is old enough to let him drink in his own pub.

It's not "Norway", it's a Norwegian fuel company. As they say in the article, they're a private limited company and they choose their own customers.

I remember reading a piece a few years back about R.E.M. going out on tour and Michael Stipe having to pop into music shops to buy sheet music, because he wasn't able to remember his lyrics. I wonder how accurate they were?
