Flea markets mostly, bits of art, music. Oh and books. I like books.
Ahhh... this was the first art book I ever bought. I found this copy in a secondhand bookshop in Brussels today. Couldn't resist. Stuck in small-town England in the 80s, the

Again, not to go on about ai but I have a few thoughts. 1. I've genuinely never seen an actual creative get excited about using it. Someone who has actually made something before. Its people from marketing and finance backgrounds getting excited about a false sensation of making something.

Great discussion about how rave 'killed' dancing in couples, worth a listen on many levels. Also, completely agree with just never liking Patti Smith's Horses. Same goes for Love's Forever Changes, and pretty much everything by The Pixies, Nirvana, or Led Zep.

Planet of the Apes set, California, 1967 by Dennis Stock. When eating in the canteen the extras subconsciously segregated themselves, with the orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas all sitting in groups and not mixing. Like a mirror of society.

When I met Craig he was 13 and homeless. I still thought his life might turn around. I was tragically wrong
The long read: I knew he was running away from something. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered the truth

Hilma af Klimt Swedish Artist & Mystic whose paintings are among the first abstract works in Western Art. They predate compositions by Kandinsky, Malevich & Mondrian. She belonged to 'The 5', a circle inspired by Theosophy, sharing a belief in trying to contact 'High Masters' - often by séances.

Was reminded of a 1982 LP by The Damned at the weekend. It was notable only in that it came smelling of strawberries. Good to see that at least one copy still smells. "Comments: Includes insert which still smells slightly of strawberries!"

This could be a long and rambling thread. Be patient with me. I bought an old mahogany bureau on Ebay. I didn't really want a bureau as we're meant to be downsizing, but it was a beautiful piece & obviously very old. Google lens suggests the brass chased handles are Queen Anne. That's 1702-1714 😯

Not a record, but a tape recording of a gig. Lent it to a friend with a reputation for losing stuff. He lost it, and so too was the only recording of that gig.
