Occasional marketing ploy. I sell photos and prints, although increasingly not so much over the last year or so. Anyway, for Norwich folk, seem to like this, and it's reduced currently, A2 look nice framed, brutalism and so forth. www.invisibleworks.co.uk/product/sove...

Just imagine an announcement like ‘We’re going to issue bonds and buy every hospital out of its PFI which will stop the NHS having to cut essential staff and save the country billions in the longer term’.

I’m watching Broadchurch because I never have. It’s okay. There’s this line delivered by Becca about how she’s never met a funny vicar before, and I was just doing the Rolodex thing in my head, and thinking I’ve never met one that hasn’t been fucking hilarious.

Can’t wait for the Labour to really tax the ultra-rich and close all the avoidance loopholes tomorrow.

On the subject of "illegal" immigration: I had this email from my cousin today. I also cannot imagine just casually going out the night before doing something so terrifying. It was their second attempt.

Only just discovered that sponge puddings in tins have been discontinued. Manufacturers instead favouring plastic tubs you can’t store for five years. Yet again capitalism lets us down.

It’s long, stick with it. Amazing what you can do by jamming open keys on a church organ.

Did quite a lot of ‘oh, that system is down, oh that payment system doesn’t work, oh that entire web catalogue has temporarily vanished’. Today. So I knocked off at 4 and pressure cooked a piece of brisket which I highly recommend. #boiledbeefandcarrots

I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no.
This is quite something.

I got this and a copy of Wasp Factory from my girlfriend as a Christmas present in 1985. Life changers both. I was 20.
Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all

Happy Birthday to the JAMC's Psychocandy, which turns 40 today!

Mutter mit totem Sohn
Käthe Kollwitz (1937)
Neue Wache Memorial
Unter den Linden

I have been a massive fan of Kollwitz for years, aware of both her work and the fierceness she burned with as an artist and the way she interpreted the lives of the working class. This was a no brainer to soak in.

Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker in a socialist fraternal kiss. By far the most popular and probably best known bit of graffiti on the East Side. Always interesting recording people recording themselves with or around cultural touchstones in their consciousness.

Plattenbau

Spent ages trying to spot a proper DDR prefabricated concrete sectional building worth a photo, turned out there was one round the corner from Friedrichstraße station with a decent aspect.

They’ve become much rarer than I thought, either knocked down or clad up.

Züge in das Leben/Züge in den Tod by Frank Meisler at Friedrichstraße station. If you've been to London Liverpool Street, you will have probably have seen the sculpture 'The Arrival' by him also, it relate to the two figures in the first image. Others exist in Gdansk, Hook of Holland, and Hamburg.
