Here's my plans for reading for this year. Let's see how effectively I stick to them. (Hint: probably not well.)

Planning the pages: 2025 edition

As it’s the first day of a new year, it’s also the time when (apparently traditionally, now) I select a list of potential reads. There’s 25 this year (because 2025 right?) and whi…

Calm the fuck down, Microsoft.

I have this! I have not read it! I gotta do so, then get some more mustachioed Reed action into my life.

This image from the set of Ken Russell's THE DEVILS features the most alarming version of the "we saw you from across the bar and dig your vibe" meme largely because Ken Russell is ABSOLUTEY already eyeing up the cuckchair as we speak.

Dude looks so much like my 19yo nephew it is UNCANNY. I'm gonna have to watch this again this weekend, I think.

I watched this about a month ago and it was incredible. It's on YT, and you absolutely need to see it. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

This photo of sculptor Nobuo Sekine installing his Phase of Nothingness goes hard as hell.

A man stands on a piece of rock, atop a reflective pillar. He looks hard as hell.

I think I have some of those! Any of the below? (I think the first two are you, honestly not sure if the last one was you, me, or someone else, lol.)

Thinking about it, I suspect the third is a pic from a gig in Brighton.

YES! This is so good. Terrible old digicams!

That's so good. I wish I still had the Dirty Three images we traded at about the same time - they were lost here several computers ago and they're indicative of a real period of time...

It is always wild to me to know that I only got to see it because a DVD copy turned up in one of the cheapie CD shops on Berwick St in London. I was DELIGHTED to find it - I had always despaired that I wouldn't see it.

Did you ever get that GYBE CD back that you were plugging for soundtrack use?

I remember being sent some of these pics via email back in the day and they are wonderful to revisit. You gotta watch that movie if you haven't - it's a real gem, and one of my favourites. The setting, the cast - wild.

It's been 25 years since we wrapped SESSION 9. Here are some dumb photos I took in between gathering leaves, running fog machines, strapping tool belts on actors and finding stuff for the coin cache. flickr.com/photos/russf...

I got a 5.1 setup for the games/movies thing (even though I watch stuff that’s mostly mono or stereo, ha) but decent stereo is where it’s at for music. Pushes more air and I can feel it, which I don’t with surround, even though the Jamo speakers are pretty good.

Luke: grue fodder @captainfez.bsky.social · 4d

Honestly, if I didn’t have a 70s amp and this old aunt’s CD player I would’ve gone all in on one of those Chinese amps.

I still want to get decent speakers. I’ve got some great old ones of unknown provenance but feel it would be good to get some decent ones. The amp has room to move…

Luke: grue fodder @captainfez.bsky.social · 4d

I had looked into these - I’ve heard they’re pretty good with the only caveat that they’re not gapless if you skip - but I tend to be full album anyway. If I’d not been able to fix this one, that was my next stop!

I am using a wiim streamer and LOVE IT.

You know what this means? It means my infuriatingly wanky CD-R noise albums that haven't yet had a Bandcamp rebirth are ON, BAYBEE.

Pulled apart my old Rotel CD player. Fixed the fucked drawer. I didn't die and neither did it. Amazing.
