My month of self-indulgence is over.

I started it carried away and became more so. Which fits, as they started brilliantly and became more so.

Anyway, here's 'The Whole Lot(ta History)' Edition.

Signing off... now 🤞for a Deep Cuts Show :)

RIP Tom Stoppard. If you haven’t read Arcadia before, treat yourself to one of life’s greatest pleasures. We won’t see another like him again.

Arcadia is one of those works of art that i can’t believe is real, it’s so perfectly constructed, with all these elements balanced just so, and yet it doesn’t feel like a machine, it’s deeply emotional and heartbreaking. Have been so grateful to see it performed.

Tom Stoppard: lots will talk about the contributions to cinema, but ARCADIA was one of those works I read in college that completely re-wired my young, still-forming brain in terms of thinking about what was *possible* through art.

Tom Stoppard holds a special place in my heart and, I suspect, in the heart of everyone else who was ever told they thought too much to be an actor.

R&G may be the best play of the 20th century, but Arcadia is, for me personally, the best play of the last 400 years.

It wouldn’t be too far out of bounds to suggest that discovering the radio adaptation of Stoppard’s Arcadia – utilising the cast of the original National Theatre production – as a teenager was a life-altering experience for me.

Once again for the hard of thinking: streaming shouldn't count towards the chart unless you've specifically chosen to stream the song in question. If it turns up randomly on someone else's plalylist or by Alexa's whim, you haven't chosen to listen to it so it shouldn't count.
Interesting development in the race for this year's UK Christmas no. 1, which counts streaming. Unfair advantage? Sharp practice? (Mentioned in this article on UK charity single for Palestine: www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...)

Oh. Those early singles weren't a fluke then.

I know I rant about this all the time but the rabid - and omnipresence - anti immigrant line on BBC 6 music news is so jarring

Tim’s big simple idea here is “What if we just wreck the postwar settlement and then let people starve and die” and this time, when the disaster looms, just let them starve and die. Let’s face it, eventually one of these governments is going to pull the trigger once and for all.
