Anyway, this is a great book about people at the disregarded bottom of the racial & socioeconomic ladder who still created a rich & vibrant & long-lasting musical culture, without waiting around for some venture capitalist to do it for them.

Some tech type angry about ayyyy-eiii detractors is the main character today & just, what do you even want from the rest of us? You won. You have a total stranglehold on financial markets. You're eating education, publishing, the arts & the electrical grid alive. You don't get kisses on top of that.

another key finding: most Suno users are men 24-35. Today most indie musicians are...everyone who's not a cis guy. AI is going to introduce further gendered & racialized inequities along major label/VC-funded vs indie divides in the industry.

Seeing his post-Downton Abbey career path has been a delight, a weird lil’ genre guy trapped in posh period puppet shows broke free to terrorize the villagers as God intended.
Dan Stevens, the next Udo Kier? Place your bets now
Forgot about him! Veers between arthouse, schlock-horror and blockbusters, and clearly no quality control whatsoever. Very much here for The Weird Performances of Dan Stevens.

My only pie thoughts are when I read Mildred Pierce—a book full of pies—in French I was very surprised when “pie” wasn’t translated as “tarte” but left in the original English with a detailed footnote explaining what this strange American dessert was. No such cultural notes for chicken & waffles!

A reminder that Nick Cave, someone whom I used to admire for his rigorous moral inquiry, was disturbed by AI then about five minutes later engaged Andrew Dominik to make a fucking music video with it
Can’t wait for the inevitable overlong, self-serving Right Hand Files post about this and why dinner with proud bigots “makes the celestial spheres hum within us, inviting a greater understanding of awe” or some bullshit.

And another! Stories and interviews with the team behind one of the BBC's greatest ever TV dramas – "a revenge thriller, a mystical nuclear-and-environmental-apocalypse fable, a clear-eyed political document of the mid-1980s, a ghost story" – by me for @thequietus.com thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

I don't like to toot my own horn around here but I do think that specifically today, my sincerely having no opinions whatsoever on Star Wars movies & how to rank them means you should all get together & get me some kind of splendid present.

I'm sure the acting in This Is Going to Hurt (newly on US Netflix) is good as reputed but I don't know, as someone who almost died with my mother at birth from eclampsia not sure I want to see "male doctor decides woman suffering it is hypochondriacal, sends her home with no tests" as entertainment.

Tangential to the Jimmy Cliff news but after you watch The Harder They Come you gotta see Franco Rosso’s Babylon, which took the top of my head off (my Yank ear did have to turn on subtitles), & Menelik Shabazz’s Burning an Illusion.

RIP Jimmy Cliff. The Harder They Come is one of my favorite movies. My dad showed it to me when I was a kid and of course I instantly fell in love with the music and the outlaw story, it’s a perfect movie. JC’s singing is unparalleled, heavy reggae soul. He has now crossed the last river

Kicking today off to a fine start blocking someone advocating mistreating male abuse survivors because “4B is 4B,” can’t stop anyone from running the moth-eaten old lesbian separatist playbook yet again but not in this house you don’t.

Watching A House of Dynamite & it is my tragic duty to buck the trend here & say that while it's no Fail-Safe I'm largely enjoying it. Currently in the part of act two where I'm disappointed the call to the Russian official wasn't announced as "Premier Kissoff's calling again & he's hopping mad!"
