“What time’s Judge Jules on?”

My father shot this photo of Charlie Ace's Swing-a-Ling mobile record shack on his first trip to Kingston, Jamaica. June 1976. #photography #film #reggae #jamaica

Shout out to the Second Half Chisel Lads at the match last night hoovering up in the toilets after we'd gone a goal down in the seventy-somethingth minute. Absolute devotion to the cause

After watching 88 films’ Prey was alerted to this leather jacket with Ace on the back in Norman J Warren’s Bloody New Year by @harrysword.bsky.social and realised hadn’t watched it from the old Indicator box. So here it is

Aaah. The magic of the Restricted View

Most people would still be trading on former Glory Boxes etc youtu.be/8ZbCB48JPME?...

Should have put this warning on the news this weekend

The version of The Cutter on this genius Bill Drummond related fare is literally one of the greatest things ever. Rest of the album is amazing too. Listen in the dark

Shout out to Stephen Graham for namechecking his old Kirkby video rental shop, Quarry Green, in his Adolescence Emmy acceptance speech. It really is woven into the fabric of our lives @20thcflicks.bsky.social @snipsmovies.bsky.social

I prefer the Early Stuff

His full name is Jarethy Harrethy, btw. In related news, I have a great Richard Harris story and some dubious acid house tomfoolery at a gentlemen's drinking club off the Strand, but bit busy right now

Weatherall's soundtrack/library phase is one of the best Ages of Weatherall. Opened doors to weirdness like this

Former Odeon Cinema, Barnet 1935 Edgar Simmons www.modernism-in-metroland.co.uk/barnet-odeon...

Watching a film and someone just got decapitated by a basketball. Absolute scenes

This is like the vision in my left eye after the op had to be cancelled halfway through and they hadn't put the new lens in yet

RIP Stephen Luscombe, Sad Day indeed youtu.be/T564eSvt7MY?...

Watching Norman J Warren's Prey on Blu-ray due from 88 Films. Soundtrack released on a label run by Quiet Village's Joel Martin… Certificate X youtu.be/MJO_U4_BY_8?...

Went on to another social media site. Sad to see a couple of old acid house faces on that march yesterday, who must have completely missed the fucking point

"Bring the cocaine here now, mate."

"Let's go to the BFI IMAX. What could possibly go wrong?"

Remaindered at Woolworths within a week or two of release. They'd ordered loads on the strenth of Too-Rye-Ay sales. Which is where I bought one of the greatest albums ever made. I've formed whole friendships with people based on a mutual love of this…

tonight's viewing youtu.be/rJMXN9rx5Lg?...

Hahahahaha. It wasn't just a dream…

Weatherall. 2000s

Still persevering with Alien Earth. It's so Nu Metal

This song is everything

Moorfields

Came out at Leicester Square station the other day and a homeless fella was busking, singing Take The Long Way Home. I gave him a quid and said “that’s super tramp” www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Tonight’s film

One of them involves a plumber who’s come to check your pipes and the other one’s about a nurse

fly in the fly in the ointment

"What did the gaffer say in the team talk?" "He told us not to concede any goals." "Great advice."

I was at this last night. Always good to hear mention of the June Brides. Shout out to the lovely @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social crew

Angry residents are up in arms about this. Reckon they've probably slammed it too. I spent my formative years on local newspapers. Some of it was daft ("witchcraft fear over slaughtered rabbits"). Some of it was absolutely essential…

Nice bust etc

Palace Classics. Not alphabeticised

Oi oi @blockup.bsky.social Not sure if I'm around and is a bit of a trek for you, but still…

Good this on the Ransom Note, offering up the best of the ever interesting Optimo Music label to get stuck into. Cease and Desist is bang on the money www.theransomnote.com/music/news/a...

Mate's scaffolder dad was once talking about "that Georgie Armanio". My mate said "don't you mean Giorgio Armani?" "No, that's his brother"

Elementary chaos theory suggests that sooner or later any discussion about folk horror ends up with people just saying "I'd argue that xxx is folk horror". Example: Woodland Dark And Days Bewitched (which is still excellent)

Open goal… www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

He's such an Early Stuff div

I see football is having another normal one

"Sludgy" Sounds like someone's been reading too many Boomkat reviews
