I see that Eyes Wide Shut has just been reissued by Criterion. During my very short time as a film extra in the late '90s I actually turned down Kubrick - as I was offered the - fnar fnar - very small part of a naked waiter at an orgy in Eyes Wide Shut.

Viv Prince RIP. When The Pretty Things played in Porto in 2016 I DJ-ed at the show - and went for dinner with them beforehand. Phil May told me that he once went on the bizarrest double date with Viv Prince in the Sixties - Phil and Rudolph Nureyev - and Viv and Judy Garland!

Last Monday the lovely @jamesendeacott.bsky.social played an hour long mix of song that made - and didn't make - the grade for All The Young Droids - on his wonderfully eclectic Morning Glory show on Soho Radio. You can listen to it here ::https://sohoradio.com/show/morning-glory-21-07-2025/

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social walking down the NME office on the 25th at the King’s Reach Tower in March 1990. To the right I am walking past my face obscured by a magazine. Maybe I was having a bad hair day?
