Watching Gregory's Girl and it occurred to me that the reasons I love it are the same reasons I love Charlie Brown. There's a universality to it, I didn't grow up in Gregory's Cumbernauld or Charlie's Minnesota, but I recognise them and the feelings of security and comfort they evoke.

Saturday Night Fever is probably up there

thinking about the crying game last night and wondering if there are any other movies that exist almost entirely as a punchline or reference in other movies

these old guys really love to fuck up their own movies

Maris Crane, welcome to the marvel cinematic universe!!

Does anyone have a copy of the untitled cassette from The Abraham Lincolns? That's Charles Brohawn, Jason Willett, Rebby Sharp (on fiddle!!!!) Mark Jickling, Jad Fair. Released in '98 I think.

Crash (1996, d. David Cronenberg)

currently hating myself for sitting through this unpleasant garbage again (and it's worse than i remember eighteen years ago (damn your eyes @staggerlee68.bsky.social))

*wayne coyne voice* light beam strikes the small dog on his head

The Raincoats Manifesto ✦ 10 Rules for Life from the British Post Punk Pioneers

dipping back into #cdfriday tonight with some random shelf pulls

HAPPY release day to the maestro Olaf Rupp, whose truly remarkable solo guitar 2LP "Fuzzy Logic" hits the streets today. Grab it on the Palilalia bandcamp or at your favorite shop. olafrupp.bandcamp.com/album/fuzzy-...

Not Blender Children, but this was mine a few weeks ago.

i don't see enough love for this nonsense (and nobody ever mentions the blender children in the fake band prompt that does the rounds three times a year)

blasting metal box and thinking about getting a wedge

fucking smell them

they made an american prime suspect with a fedora wearing maria bello?!

you get money if you make him talk

Is that Jah Wobble

once again thinking about this thing that was real and not a shitpost

a rare trip to the cinema and honestly it's not the phones or the food rustlers or the talkers ruining cinema it's the everyone under forty who know only ironic detachment crowd

remains a resolutely odd movie straddling all of spielberg's foibles that is also an audio visual masterpiece that isn't spectacle until it is spectacle. i love it so much.

i refuse to believe this is coincidence

no *you're* a dinked edition

the guardian committing to the bit by resurrecting this article every fucking year like jason voorhees

this month's dwyer album just dropped

what's with all these goddamn canadians making me cry

oddly, i found persepolis unpacking last night and started rereading. such a beautiful wee thing.

master of puppets is about jim henson

Hang it in the Louvre

John Sayles' screenplays for genre films like Alligator and The Howling are a master class in how to have fun while doing freelance contract writing.

surprisingly, a frequently lovely doc about a frequently unloveable band

back again just like jesus!!

little story telling a big story

half(way to a threeway) man half(way to a threeway) biscuit

it is #cdfriday and i've smashed the fancy tv and moved house (again) and i'm still carrying around too much shit (literal / metaphorical) so it's bleak sinatra and brown liquor

that light in the attic ai nonsense, there's a kind of agnostic malaise surrounding most archive labels that aren't just rereleasing stuff as easily and cheaply as possible. embrace one gimmick you'll eventually embrace them all.

this evenings bath stuff has the potential to be horribly misread
