If elected I will brig for three days anyone referring to "the full force of the law" (unless complaining about it like me now).

"We're gonna need a bigger boat! Y'know, to kill Jaws...Jaws the shark."

Worth another repost as most tickled by the spectacle of the detached exhibition house built in the shadow of Kings Cross station in the 1930s, seemingly opposite the spectacular St. Pancras.

The Village of Tomorrow at the 1934 Ideal Home Exhibition was a showcase of modernist housing, put up by builders looking to entice home buyers into modernist living. Out went pitched roof and tiles, in came sun decks and white walls. Read more here www.modernism-in-metroland.co.uk/blog/the-vil...

Something very odd about the complete lack of highlights videos on YouTube for yesterday's UEFA play-offs, even the ones shown on the BBC. Is GALA demanding more money or something?

Learned a few things here - one of those tracks that seems simpler than it is and you can know 'enough' about for most of your life but really enjoyed Gyu's exploration once again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQsa...

Him dying by choking on a hot dog would be...well I'm just saying the perfect meme has existed for years.

Got a huger than expected faux-nostalgic rush simply from inserting '4 My Peepz (Stabbed)' into this mix in progress (tho probably too early tbh) and this is absolutely not even live. A lot hinges on what it segues to/from but I would probably have exploded had I actually heard it out in '98.

In Mario Kart Wii, crashing the game and activating the crash handler will eventually start playing back the contents of the Wii's RAM as sound. Since the data was never intended to be interpreted like this, it ends up sounding like experimental harsh noise music.

What a double bill this would be, sort it out streamsters.

Seeing mid English clubs getting drubbed by the actually v small elite clutch of mainland European teams feels very 90s. Really should bring back the super baggy shirts now.

Finally started working on my first ever Ableton mix today. Sussed out how to warp tracks pretty much but rn need a more obvious means of razor-snipping them..

We will never experience this again

BARTON FINK (1991, a £2.49 rental we just think is neat)

I finished rewatching season 3 of The Mandalorian and it was a bit better than I remembered. Will I feel the same if I rewatch the Obi-Wan and Ahsoka series? Probably nah.

My one dream, my only master

Cloud cover being pretty unfair again.

Possibly the last great TOTP performance. youtu.be/b0RRddWImcg?...

From my recent YouTube history it's just a little clip from a few years ago of Chris and Neil commenting on some of their album covers. This is somehow also the first time I've ever heard Stuart Price speaking. youtu.be/qWxw0ngyEIk?...

My big challenge today is to work out why my totally valid JSON file can no longer parse into my UK chart hits data table. Dozens of people are being denied this critical resource for reasons unclear.

That's some air traffic control..

From my recent YouTube history, just a lovely few minutes of Syd Mead art. Disagree with the title tho - I DID know actually. youtu.be/dqsX6vcmdrk?...

From my recent YouTube history, an interesting discussion on anxiety from Vox youtu.be/FRxBCd4q9Lc?...

As a treat.

From my recent YouTube history, have enjoyed GyuBeats recreations of 90s UK dance/electronic tracks for a while now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfIt...

Happy 1st Birthday to Nina!

From my recent YouTube history, an interesting one on the long-established commissary grocery stores for 'military families' in the US. youtu.be/PQOXdtPBGXI?...

Today I 'woke up laughing' from a dream in which a song I apparently completely made up called 'But I've Been In Love Before' as a kind of 50s novelty effort sung by a cartoon Dwarf-like character in a quite high nasal voice. Those few seconds where you're convinced 'omg this would be huge', jfc...

From my recent YouTube history, I like dry, droll Ray's vids on US urban planning, transit infra and related matters. youtu.be/pBRPj6ew-uU?...

From my recent YouTube history, a look at the lush Channel Islands off the Californian coast. youtu.be/nW6PbEd1WTo?...

McD's fries, Greggs sausage roll, Krispy Kreme donuts

From my recent YouTube history, this is 'Tweedy Pubs' with typically solid research on London pubs in this case within the city's Chinatown. youtu.be/QTJ6xMVsKs4?...

From my recent YT history: Architectural Digest on the Chelsea Hotel youtu.be/wQrG1wDIDBM?...

Gonna try and post one interesting (and not too long) clip a day from my YouTube history. youtu.be/FvIIapR0AGA?...

This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone.

I remember well seeing bits of Jesse Jackson's speeches on early morning TV in the UK during coverage of the '88 campaigns. Inspired, I remember wanting him to win as it felt as positive a representation of the US as its incredible Black art and entertainment I was also directly exposed to 'early'.

AI good now

'West End Girls' 12" mix playing in a bar David has just walked into in this Moonlighting. Props.

I actually like both TJOPS and 'Illegal' about the same but the former has won me over to an artist I wasn't sure about/felt may be overhyped (see also Roan) and by putting a real shift in whereas PP's graceful gliding over samples of some of my favourite tunes ever does feel a bit too easy.

Saw a couple of parakeets yesterday morning for the first time in a few months and the sun actually felt hot while out in it. Whiplash today.

Had to go to hidden art deco gem St. Olaf's House yesterday for a couple of tests. As hospital buildings go it's up there.

Infinityball!

It's just so very delightful to go to the comments for Laid Back's 'Bakerman' on YouTube and immediately see the likes of 'My Dad was a bakerman and loved this song...'.

Rewatching The Zygon Invasion having remembered p much nothing about it since the first time. Not quite sure why some of these Capaldi mid-era stories seem lacking but the budget for many of them does seem reduced with that.

A cracking return to the Islington branch of Lucky Voice today at which I did: Should I Stay Or Should I Go? Shiny Happy People Look Right Through (MK Remix, the #1 smash) Left To My Own Devices

Tinkered with this a long time and trying to be strict about including only official sources or good quality uploads from reliable accounts but it's over 500 official videos for UK chart hits (anything Top 100) of 1990. Historical media preservation is important :) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Anxiety, what anxiety?

Interlude.

Finally got to try the bacon naan at Dishoom today. V good although a sweeter sauce than expected.

Going thru Piccadilly on the bus at this time on a Friday night is always absurd but still I'm like who the fuck are all these ppl in their own cars.
