The new Adam Curtis is very good. Clips are great. Makes me want to rewatch Molly Dineen's The Ark and Three Salons.... I even think there was a bit of Chis Needham in there.

In the mid-90s, Vodafone gave us a Twin Peaks and Doctor Who (with more than a hint of X-Files) crossover with this advert, filmed in Pilgrim St, Liverpool - that garage door at the end was an existing minor landmark! Worst Scouse accent ever, btw.

it’s important to find time in your day to just switch your mind off and do nothing. it might be first thing in the morning, it might be last thing at night, or - and this is surprisingly popular - it might be when you get to the ticket barriers at waterloo. just take care of yourself, guys.

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -

The Eye is sad to record the loss of Barry Fantoni, who died on 20 May 2025 aged 85 in Turin. An appreciation of his extensive contribution to Private Eye, with examples of his illustrations and cartoons, and memories from his friends and colleagues appears in the current issue.

Listening to this today: our playlist celebrating the great Sly Stone with 23 essential tracks. It could of course be much, much longer. One of the defining geniuses of the 20th century. What a life, what a legacy 🖤 open.spotify.com/playlist/7Ll...

In the interval of our gig last night I looked at my phone and saw the news that Sly Stone had died. Sang a quick chorus of Family Affair and felt thankful for the music ❤️

A couple of recent readers have compared the vibe and some of the construction of Keshed to the plays of Sarah Kane. A valid and interesting take/comparison for sure, and a flattering one too, to be equated with such a maverick. So strange this popped up just now..... observer.co.uk/culture/thea...
