One thing Roger Sargent suggested. Would anyone be interested in a podcast about Swells? (Probably contributors more than listeners at this early stage) Or a podcast about the present,past and future of music journalism? Might have a few potential contributors

I say it all the time but how is there no regular weekly TV programme about cinema or art or music (apart from Later, sometimes) or media, or books - and yet there seem to be about 45 programmes a week on the Royal Family or true crime.

Been checking the dictionary to find out what a "throve" is.Can't find it anywhere. Dictionaries are normally treasure troves of words as well. Frustrating.

I'm only up to 1981 in @whenisbirths.bsky.social 's Into The Groove. Never thought i'd want to relive the '80s (you don't actually have to reader) but it's great.

John Lennon by Richard Avedon, Look magazine, January 1968

Avedon used color manipulation and Day-Glo (yellow, red and fuchsia) colors to create a hallucinatory effect, reflecting the psychedelic culture of the era. Black over white curvy Op Art lines cover his eyeglasses.
