Tonight’s film: Chilly Scenes of Winter. It looks like a romcom, it sounds like a romcom… but it is not a romcom. boxd.it/8V93x3

Countup Countdown to TEATLES 5 The Teatles Book 6 November 2020 With stuff by Ross Burman, @pablovich.bsky.social @andrewmale.bsky.social Chloe Sheila @chrisshaweditor.bsky.social @ttbrader.bsky.social Ruby Smith, Piers Hemmingsen, Andrew Adamson, Travis and Carissa Tanton.

Man, I love Icelandic folklore. This BBC podcast from 2017 was my first introduction to...The Yule Lads. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

Just saw In a Lonely Place for the first time. My god but that is good.

Drone central. Lots of classics but quite a few new to me, my Bandcamp wishlist just grew exponentially.

Still, record on the left, £1000, record in the middle, £1000, record on the right, £15.

One of my absolute favourite 'designer can't be arsed' LP reissues.

Happy 100th Ogdred Weary.

— Did you finish that painting of Tom T. Hall for the next album cover? — Yeah boss! Real fucking bleak and soul-destroying, just like you asked me.

Afternoon beautiful people. Ziggy says have a great weekend. Love, everybody

If you’re a Frasier fan, take a few minutes out to read this, you won’t regret it: open.substack.com/pub/archerpa...

You're very welcome to this 'Two studies of a cat and a sow' Cornelis Saftleven 1623-1681 (British Museum)

The reporting on this bizarre story (gift link) is incomplete. It doesn't address TESCREAL (R=rationalism) & larger links to both AI boys & certain Trumpists. A Silicon Valley Intellectual Society Kicked Them Out. Now They’re Tied to a Killing Spree. www.wsj.com/us-news/zizi...

Georges Perec — king of the footnote:

Legendary hater Charles Darwin

He also made a blaxploitation film based on Get Carter, Hit Man. From what I recall nobody got thrown into a safari park and eaten by lions in the original, he sure put his mark on the remake. RIP.

Not experiencing fear or apprehension - it must be middle-age.

always embarrassed when it comes to promoting my own stuff. dunno. anyway, delighted upon Mr Soliday's words and very pleased to be back to long-form pieces. i'd be happy if you'd listen. love. lesondouble.bandcamp.com/album/dialog...

RIP George Armitage He directed two of my favourite films, Miami Blues and Grosse Pointe Blank. He’s also responsible for my favourite scene involving a baby & Under Pressure. Just beautiful. youtu.be/DWyuAq5Yq34?...

This gorgeous record has been reissued by @thirdmanrecords.bsky.social with an extra DL of non-album recordings. How I wish those extra tracks came on a little vinyl EP but you can’t have everything. For those asking, yes, same track listing as the Yoga Records reissue. youtu.be/vySIBQ9KFuk?...

Me realising I have to pick ten records from 600+ amazing responses.

In October, I had a very long chat with Alan Moore. On magick, sci-fi, the perils of ecological doomerism, the joy of occultist pranks, the psychogeography of Stoke Newington, the invention of the taser - and much more! As a Christmas treat here it is IN FULL. seamas.medium.com/its-a-rabbit...

Endorsement! 🔊

"It shows that every book is the wreck of a perfect idea — but that the wreckage can be beautiful too. Anyway, to ask whether it is a novel or not misses the point. Who cares? It’s just a damned good book." Me on Michelle de Kretser's novel (yeah why not) Theory & Practice:

I’m sorry but this is fucking hilarious, I’m dead 😂😂

My guess is that they’re both into drone. bsky.app/profile/drma...
