Installing gboard might help. When I had an iPhone, the stock keyboard was so shockingly bad that I had to download gboard. It's not as good as on Android, but I didn't have any issues with autocorrect. Worth a go if you haven't tried it.

It didn't reach no.1 in the UK singles chart, and it's not the greatest cover version ever (that's The Fatima Mansions' take on "Shiny Happy People"). Other than that ...

I'm glad it's not a straight retelling of the Pavement story, and I'm very glad that it's purposefully inventive and multidimensional. Just hope it does them justice.

I'm SO looking forward to Friday when it drops on Mubi. The Guardian review was very sniffy and I'm dreading that they might be right.

I have a feeling I might dream tonight of Matthew Corbett taking Sooty, Sweep and Sue to the hardware store.
Matthew: Sooty, what would you like to buy?
(Sooty whispers in his ear)
Matthew: (pause, looks at camera with bewildered expression) Forty million daggers?

Once dreamt I interviewed Stephen Malkmus whilst on bucking broncos at a rodeo in Middlesbrough (!). Going great til he said Wowee Zowee's working title was "Fuck Off Smoggies": locals booed and lobbed barrage of parmos that sent me bleeding and concussed to A&E. No cheese consumed, though.
