I love Diane Keaton’s incredible 1987 documentary Heaven, where she intersperses movie afterlives with talking head interviews about what heaven will be like. I hope she’s enjoying the irony of a lot of it now. Whole film is on YouTube. RIP Diane Keaton youtu.be/gsvi4-zbq0g?...

Newspaper/website used to place factual errors into some of my articles, when me or readers pointed it out they’d remove them but issued corrections notices that made it sound like the mistake was mine. Didn’t like that aspect of being edited.

I thought it was about a horse. Or possibly a motorcycle. Either is fine by me.

I did meet him at a party a couple of months ago, which is no use to you. I think Damon W knows him.

I’ve not been on holiday in almost 25 years. Not technically on one now, but I am in South-West France, having some nice food on a nice day with some nice people, so, for the next hour or so at least it’s Bonne Vacances pour moi!

Great evening bouncing on the sprung floor of Islington Assembly Rooms to the greatest “hits” of Krautrock courtesy of
Michael Rother plus added tape drones of Marta Salogni as support.

Great to see Marta and her band of open reel tape machines doing their thing supporting Michael Rother tonight.
