Insomnia leads me to tonight’s #earworm. The #MastersAtWork remix of Nights Over Egypt by #Incognito. Kenny Dope delivers an irresistible rhythm in the 1st half, showing the band’s jazz & britfunk roots before they shift into a new gear. Absolute banger. youtu.be/LiMmboYI9og?...

“I asked you not to do it. I said, Charlie, please don’t make your stupid joke, it’s not funny. But, still, when the waiter brought the check, what did you say? What did you say, Charlie?”

A premise that could have easily turned into a bad SNL sketch is instead a sincere and heartfelt portrait of a lonely man being given support to deal with himself on his own terms.

Farrell, newly sober, on first meeting Gleeson:
‘He said ‘willya have a drink?’ & opened his hotel fridge ‘I’ve still or sparkling’. In that moment, I fell in love with him as he had gone out & bought them. I thought ‘that’s a fella who’ll look after you’
