Watching the excellent Trespasses on Channel 4 but am reminded how terrible the Austin Allegro was. We may have sneered at the Russians for the Lada but the Allegro was the nadir of British post war industry.

I haven’t done a #weekendsingles for a while but I stumbled on this Bad Wisdom soundtrack cassette in a box of tapes this week so thought I’d post these four Kalevela 7s.

I still find it amazing that record companies used to delete records and destroy all their remaining stock.

A trillion dollars for Elmo? The wealth gap keeps widening doesn’t it?

This is a bit of weird take @theguardian.com isn’t it? [King Leopold] “who had sex with underage children (not as bad as his treatment of the people of the Congo, his private fiefdom, but bad enough)

My suggestion for #5debutalbums8084 Medium Medium - The Glitterhouse - a brilliant percussive post punky mix of dub and funk.

I’m trying to block my access to Twitter on my phone. What’s the point if I can just override the block? Does anyone know how I can make this a permanent block?

Watching Dirk Bogarde in They Who Dare on the @studiocanal.com app. The soundtrack is utterly warped making it almost unwatchable. I shall persevere but it’s a shame and easily fixable.

I tried to spin it out just as long as possible but now I’ve finished the new season of The Bear.

Today I am mostly watching old British films. Just realising what incredibly good value the @studiocanal.com app is.

Think I might start a cult.

Just watched Billy Liar for the nth time. One of the saddest films ever

Bit of a blast from the past.

That bittersweet moment when peonies are at their most spectacular but tomorrow they’ll be fading. Just like life really.

The pigeons are sulking again. There’s no pleasing some folk.

Pas de triche, poste la dernière photo de ton animal de compagnie

No cheating, post the latest photo of your pet.

I was in the pub with an old friend tonight and she started crying about how fucked the world is and how little we can do to change things. I told her we need to remind everyone that solidarity is our strength.

Watching #Adolescence enjoying it a lot. I’ve made one shot videos in the past (more by necessity than art) but there’s some properly clever camerawork going on there.

Comsat Angels - a band that probably don’t get enough props. Caught them in about 1982 - they were great.
