Now playing: Body Language for Lovers, the only LP by Bobbye Hall, the Detroit-born master percussionist. Co-written with, and produced by her husband Joe Porter in 1977, it's an overlooked gem that's by turns jazzy, experimental, smooth, mystical, funky, ambient, soulful.... ▶️ youtu.be/Ce_K1z3vl8c

People who trip over guy ropes all the time tend to fall into several camps.

In reality Huntley and Palmer fell out and refused to speak to each other. The badinage you saw at biscuit nights (Big Biscuit; The Biscuit Kings; Feel the Biscuit, Feel the Burn; A Question of Biscology; Welcome to the Biscotheque; Down With The Biscuit Kids; Call Me Biscuit;

CLIENT: oh you're—i'm sorry i just wasn't expecting you to be— DOCTOR WIFE, P.I.: a man?!? because of my name? so i suppose you must think i'm a doctor too CLIENT: well, now i do

My son’s excellent joke: Hey Dad, do you want to hear a six word short story about a baby with massive feet?

Heck Yeahs! My 2026 Sketchbook debuts @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social next week, at my booth 5019! I will have it available in my SHOP the same day!

🎸Here’s one of my favourite Looshkin comics. All three Looshkin books are available now! (Hoping to work on a fourth sooooon)

My son just told me is favourite sentence is: “I didn’t say we should kill him” because if you emphasise each different word it changes the entire meaning

Born on this day: Harry Dean Stanton Some old Repo Man art I made. "Repo Man's got all night, every night."

Same. Except at some point my brain has decided that this scene is from They Live, because there’s a guy with a sketchy beard in that film too. Always surprises me when it’s not there.

Clever detail "a deliberate conceit. The film begins w ... Russian w English subtitles. But... casually switches in mid-sentence to speaking in English on the word 'Armageddon', which is the same spoken word in both languages. After that point, all the Soviets' dialogue is... in English" (wikipedia)

In space he's just Jay Hawkins.

Reboots are growing stale. How about a double reboot?

Sophie Ecclestone made India wait for their win at Lord's with her maiden international half-century 👏

Verify your age I used to tape this every week:

I’d forgotten about this movie! Amazing cast, haunting use of the Stones’ ‘Time is on my Side’ and as OP says, a very street-level, noir take on a supernatural story. Great twist too. Must be streaming somewhere, surely?

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

Note from my notebook from 2016 which I find has only grown in pertinence in the intervening decade.

Oo, I used to love Daytrotter sessions back in the day… www.pastemagazine.com/music/wendy-...

Conventional wisdom says rooftop solar meets **exisiting** electricity demand. What if rooftop solar actually **increases** electricity demand, improving living standards and driving economic growth? This is exactly what our new analysis of Pakistan's solar boom shows. Let's dig in.. 🧵

(To be clear most new music has always been bad. Like, forever. Most new music of the late ‘60s and early ‘90s was bad. Time is just a really good filter so all we remember now is the good stuff.)

Repo Man gets better every time I watch it and I’ve watched it A LOT

INTERVIEW ANNOUNCEMENT: Tomorrow I'm sitting down with @felicia.day to talk about The Guild and its upcoming Kickstarter for The Guild: Reunion Movie Keep an eye out for it next week!

Every so often I get to think of something that is not awful. I interviewed Henry freaking Rollins about his quest with Ian MacKaye and a few other schemers to revive Vengeance Records, The Cramps’ record label: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

India's 285 is the highest total in a women's Test at Lord's. It's also the lowest.

There we go. Tammy B off the mark. Will always be one of my all-timers. A privilege to have got to watch her in an England shirt. 🏏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇳

Why don't books get re-published in original/classic covers, like albums? I was having a rant with a friend about why John Brunner's excellent and incredibly prescient 1972 novel The Sheep Look Up isn't better known, and he said, 'if I could get it in the original cover, I'd buy it like a shot' 1/2

'Deface The Currency picks up right where 2024’s debut as a quartet left off. If anything, this new record displays a greater compositional coherency' The Messthetics & James Brandon Lewis - Deface The Currency is at No 93 in tQ's Albums Of The Year So Far Chart @normanrecords.com buff.ly/d3liywz

Arguably the greatest UK chart debut which was recorded two years prior under the name Spectrum City, a Long Island crew whose MC met multi-instrumentalist William Drayton Jr while studying graphic design at university, enlisting him as hype man with a thing for large clocks

@goreston.bsky.social Total Butler vibes

Joseph Weizenbaum's 1976 book, Computer Power and Human Reason, has long been out of print - used copies sell for hundreds of dollars. It's wild that this is not more widely available given how much his ideas still apply to the world we're in now. 🧵/
