Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Edwyn Collins at the Royal Festival Hall last night. It was a totally joyous show. He and his band were on fine form, the setlist was perfect, and the special guests were really special (THREAD)
