I’m definitely going to watch A Thousand Blows (got to love Stephen Graham), but every time I see it advertised anywhere it immediately makes me think of The 400 Blows. Which now I really, really want to watch again (got a dvd copy gathering dust up in the loft somewhere)

From new Cafe Royal Books photozine “The Velvet Underground, New York 1965–66”, by Adam Ritchie. Never get bored of looking at photos of the Velvets, ever since buying Victor Bockris’ Uptight sometime back in the 80s.

Just got the lovely vinyl issue of @bunnymen.com’s What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?, which comes with a numbered CD single of Rust. And I am Number Six. Puts on Patrick McGoohan voice: “Who is Number One?”

Have to be honest, I’ve never really bothered with graphic novels, but loved this. Brings back lots of memories of living in late 1980s Liverpool. Thanks @thechrisshepherd.bsky.social

Of course London's a big place, it's a very big place, Mr Shadrack. A man could lose himself in London. Looooose himself. Looooose himself... LOSE HIMSELF IN LONDON!

Brilliant couple of hours at Bill Drummond and Tam Dean Burn event this afternoon. Listened to Gaelic psalm-style versions of Bunnymen, Teardrops and Wild Swans songs (a film soundtrack, possibly, hopefully) and got to experience the remarkable Tin Tabernacle in Kilburn. What a place.

New Vic Godard. Love how the old school white sleeve brings back memories of buying classic singles from market stalls on Saturday mornings. (Music’s really good too!)
