Again, not to go on about ai but I have a few thoughts.
1. I've genuinely never seen an actual creative get excited about using it. Someone who has actually made something before. Its people from marketing and finance backgrounds getting excited about a false sensation of making something.

Great discussion about how rave 'killed' dancing in couples, worth a listen on many levels.
Also, completely agree with just never liking Patti Smith's Horses. Same goes for Love's Forever Changes, and pretty much everything by The Pixies, Nirvana, or Led Zep.

Planet of the Apes set, California, 1967 by Dennis Stock. When eating in the canteen the extras subconsciously segregated themselves, with the orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas all sitting in groups and not mixing. Like a mirror of society.

Someone on here (forget who, sorry) recommended this Beryl Bainbridge documentary a while back.
I finally got around to watching it last night and it was an absolute delight.

Swedish Artist & Mystic whose paintings are among the first abstract works in Western Art. They predate compositions by Kandinsky, Malevich & Mondrian. She belonged to 'The 5', a circle inspired by Theosophy, sharing a belief in trying to contact 'High Masters' - often by séances.

Just arrived, and Claire Rousay, a big fave, on the cover.
That’s the bus ride to and from the office sorted.

Ouch... I can remember my family's first three fixed line numbers from the 70s/80s, first car number plate, and my NI number.
As for my current mobile number?? No idea... 07... something.

Was reminded of a 1982 LP by The Damned at the weekend. It was notable only in that it came smelling of strawberries.
Good to see that at least one copy still smells.
