My god, Redford last week and now another icon has left the building. RIP the irreplaceable Claudia Cardinale 🖤🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

Farewell to Claudia Cardinale. ❤️

This is gorgeous. ‘In Cedars’ - Meg Baird and Mary Lattimore (from Ghost Forests LP, 2018) youtu.be/K3FbcBxUVm0?...

Can The Beatles The Clientele

First Fall album I bought. And still the best.

Yours truly. On holiday in Great Yarmouth. Yes, I packed a space helmet.

I have criss-crossed the country this weekend, from the South Bank to Dalston to Oxfordshire to Merseyside, and now I am back on my sofa listening to Sextant by Herbie Hancock, all will be well, and all will be well, and all manner of things will be well.

“And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger…” William & Wilbert Hart of the Delfonics, on 125th St, Harlem, 1970.

Released 40 (forty!) years ago this week.

Released 20 years ago today. I still think of it as pretty newish.

Rocket-shaped Kuba Komet, 1957. Featured a 23″ B&W television, eight speakers, a Telefunken phonograph and a multi-band radio receiver.

Someone phone Feargal Sharkey.

World of Books cheapies.

Bought Tin Drum when I was 14. At the time I reckoned ‘Sons Of Pioneers’ the weakest track. It’s my favourite now - it has the same mastery of space and texture that only PiL or Can could command (see Soon Over Babaluma) youtu.be/aEf38uz6FuQ?...

There is (and always will be) beauty in this world. 💚

As each day passes, Blade Runner looks and feels increasingly like today’s world.

Still sounds completely insane. 32 years old! youtu.be/y5xa0CmeQp8?...

#WhenPeopleLookedOlder Trevor Howard in Brief Encounter. 32.

Barefoot In The Park has been a Johnstone family staple for generations. Neil Simon’s sharp script about newlyweds - Redford’s classy stuffed shirt clashing with an unhinged Fonda - is still delightful. Farewell Robert Redford RIP.

Thought for the day: never listen to Demon by Dean Blunt when driving a car.

Jorge Ben :: A Tábua de Esmeralda aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/09/15/j... In the middle of the heaviest years of a military dictatorship, Ben Jorge wanted, in his own words, to “bring peace of mind and tranquility” to Brazilians.

#NowPlaying Bill Fay - From The Bottom Of An Old Grandfather Clock

Oi! @paulhaigmusic.bsky.social ! If you like that antique Fall photo.. here’s a couple more mate. Again @kcmanc.bsky.social 👇🏼

#NowPlaying It’s a sprawling (long) mess - a lot of free noise and oblique imagery - but this has grown on me loads. It’s beautiful and hugely moving.

God, how long have Pulp been going.

The easiest of easy listening ❤️

Simple Minds - ‘Love Song’ (1981) Just pips ‘I Travel’ as their greatest single for me. So self-assured and with good reason. youtu.be/KNNmgcuDFWY?...
