I agree. I love this film. Side bar- my mum had a night out with the Bonzos in the 60s. She used to work behind a bar in a northern working men’s club and they performed there. She went out with them afterwards.I didn’t ask details…

Rapture, be pure.

So many strong books in this new Mermaid Collection (& they look gorgeous), but the strap line feels so condescending to me (and then renders the collection title as facile). I’m going to publish my own Unicorn Collection- be a unicorn, skewer the patriarchy 🤮 womensprize.com/the-mermaid-...

We've found 6 copies of the 'Analysing A Ghost By Electronic Means' tape, inspired by 'The Stone Tape' (1972). It's a 16 track collection & comes with sleeve notes by the writer/comedian Stewart Lee. These are the final copies, bundled together with an A3 risograph print. hiddenbritain.bandcamp.com

#FallFriday The Fall - What About Us? youtu.be/_godSE6RJy0?...

Saw this today. Well played, Nottingham.

OTD in 1981, The Fall were in Hljóðriti studio, Reykjavík. They recorded three songs 'Hip Priest', 'Look, Know' and 'Iceland', the latter improvised on the spot. Here's Paul Hanley talking about the session. The 'Hip Priest' and 'Iceland' recordings are down thread.

A little fight with the wife. If he was my husband his withered, orange temples would be having a little fight with my frying pan. Repeatedly.

Hoffman- one of the most unsettling films I’ve ever seen.

When I was 15 I worked at Interface video on Granby Row. They mainly made music videos. One of my jobs was to copy & distribute them & I did Avril A’s. I actually copied this Youtube one. I sat & watched over & over, mesmerised. I also met her. She was amazing. m.youtube.com/watch?v=KBgU...

Couldn’t resist. I WANT TO BELIEVE.

My mate @thejase.bsky.social has started offering guitar lessons. He’s one of the best musicians I’ve ever met… and I’ve met a fair few. If you want to get to grips with the guitar… you won’t do any better than Jase. 💥 bsky.app/profile/thej...

Manchester music part 2 finally finished, to go with part 1. Cards coming soon. Part 3 before Xmas (purely so I can design the World of Twist in Victorian costume).

There's a whole lot of Salford in there, sister. ❤️
