This is so lovely, as artist and musician Laurie Anderson chats with Flo in the greenhouse. Other episodes feature Cosey Fanni Tutti and others. Well worth exploring!

Farewell today to Hungarian director Béla Tarr (1955 – 2026), one of cinema’s great visionaries. His deeply poetic and uncompromising films—like Sátántangó and The Turin Horse—redefined slow, contemplative cinema and left an indelible mark on the art of filmmaking

Farewell to magical Thailand, and what a week it's been, from incredible temples with one of the largest reclining Buddha's in the world to history in every inch of the land. Incredible food, and kind smiling people. Plus terrible flu and a stupid accident with intense police accompaniment.

Happy 45th birthday. Vini Reilly’s 1980 masterpiece still feels like a quiet revolution. It’s music that rewires your pulse, erases the edges of the room, and still sounds as though it arrived from a slightly more beautiful parallel world.
