I thought the film 'The Order' (on Prime) was pretty great, got under my skin in the same way No County For Old Men did: a police procedural/cat and mouse thriller which hides something deeper and more mysterious. Also, its one of the most visually beautiful films I've seen for a while.

Like Bowie, Prince and Weatherall, the passing of David Lynch goes way beyond a 'celebrity death'. It is a monumental cultural diminishment. Their legacy will live on, but the world is a lesser place without their actual presence and energy 🙏

It's time to take solace and pride in what people disparigingly call a bubble. I don't need to talk to the 'other side', to the hate-filled, the reactionary, the proudly low-info. I don't have their books on my shelves, I don't invite them over. And I don't need to hear what they have to say online.

Marathon Man is such a bonkers mainstream American movie: pure-grade airport novel schlock, and very artfully shot and scored. Love the opening sequence of the two old guys killing each other.

Spike Island. Mad for it.

As introduction, the obligatory picture of my cats, Sadie and Margot. Here replicating the cover of the Pet Shop Boys Actually. Margot is very Neil.

Favourite guitar solos. ** Basically one note ** Cinnamon Girl - Young ** Backwards ** Sand - Hazlewood ** Wistful ** Wined and Dined - Barrett? ** Twin lead ** Marquee Moon - Verlaine + LLoyd

Welcome to new Bluesky users. Here’s how we do things: 1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol 2. No flisking 3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology 4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on 5. No questions Good luck!

I think the pills are kicking in.
