Some lovely charity shop pick ups this afternoon, the Paxton features most of Pentangle and the the Friel features Zoot Money on Keys

A lot of people don't realise this but in the UK we have to replace our Prime Minister every two or three years or else the rights revert back to Marvel

Just reached for Matthew Sweet's excellent Shepperton Babylon and opened a page at random. On Kenneth More: "More's first job was at the Windmill Theatre, where he monitored the audience for telescopes, binoculars, opera glasses and unauthorised masturbation."

Is your child up at 9pm arguing about tram networks with the entire staff of the FT and some tedious Americans who are not familiar with the concept of a joke? This report make shock you.

There's probably never been a better time to remind you that when David Hockney first took his Mum to California she remarked 'all this lovely weather and nobody puts their washing out'.

Absolute icon. When I went to study design and photography as a 20 year old I basically wanted to be Hockney when I grew up. Living in East Yorkshire I desperately hoped I’d happen upon him painting by the roadside. Rest well.

Inside are just two rods of uranium for you to handily wave around hotel conference rooms full of arms dealers and defence personnel.

this week marks 10 years since "milkshake duck" was coined

“Did you get that final page photo for the 1970s primary school reading book about little children playing hide and seek on a farm?” “Yeah boss, real fucking sinister, just like you asked”

Reading the @andrewmale.bsky.social column in Sight & Sound is dangerous. You end up watching Three Salons at the Seaside on your luxury spa break.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

It will be another six months before LESSONS IN HARMONY, my novel about the friendship between Ravel and Vaughan Williams, is let loose upon the world. In the meantime you can do your homework by checking out this playlist, which includes nearly all the music mentioned in the novel.

Obsessed with whoever in the Whitbread marketing department decided this picture of Gertrude Lawrence and Ronald Squire having a cheeky post dance bottle of beer was good pub decor

With my one wild & precious life? Well, there’s someone on Instagram who crushes various foodstuffs & squishy toys into industrial plexiglass with a hydraulic press until they burst & you can compulsively watch the videos until your soul feels carsick, with your entirely unread book open beside you
