RIP Diane Keaton

Thank you for literally lighting up the screen and gifting us with a lifetime of unforgettable performances.
Hollywood has lost a truly unique star ⭐

Today, I will mainly be watching #AnnieHall
Saw them support the Pogues a few months ago. A great live band and attitude!
A simply divine evening with @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social at the Barbican, spent sumptuously immersed in two hours of exquisite, emotionally intelligent songwriting, cinematic storytelling and lush orchestral arrangements.

Always something new to discover. Always the possibility of getting lost …
Beautiful Brutalism at the Barbican.

(and memories from the
90’s when I used to work inside the Barbican Centre)

I know - it’s such a lottery these days but am overjoyed with the result!
Oh no - it’s always such drama. Hope you manage to get lucky somehow.

The MD list of Alternative National Treasures: Jane Goodall 🙏
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
‘A quiet genius’ … couldn’t have articulated EC any better.
Farewell but not goodbye.
A brief snippet of the most enormous big love for @edwyncollins.bsky.social and crew last night.

Home again …

That was such a beautiful evening with Edwyn Collins at the Royal Festival Hall. Will share some more pics and vids tomorrow, but here's one of Paul Cook, Edwyn, Dennis Bovell and Vic Godard at the end of the show
What an emotional and euphoric evening with the estimable @edwyncollins.bsky.social

The Royal Festival Hall was positively bursting with love for this inspirational man. Joyous and utterly life-affirming.

As long as there is Edwyn, there is hope …
#EdwynCollins
That was exactly the same word I said to my friend the moment that EC left the stage. A very special night.
A truly life-affirming evening!
Fabulous pic!
Everyone loves #EdwynCollins in this house

Until the Royal Festival Hall later…

I will cut adrift—I will sit on pavements and drink coffee—I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim—this fine October.
