#SentimentalValue is a wonderful film. Like, perfect. Work of Art. Even as I was watching and totally invested in the characters and story I kept thinking - ‘this is fucking great.’

Stunning show from #Ms.EzraFurman in Glasgow tonight: an artist whose presence on a stage - whose very existence - are acts of defiance. Tell ‘Em All To Go To Hell is fucking right, baby.

At Glasgow Art School to see Ms. Ezra Furman. Got soaked on the walk in. Bit of a cold coming but like everyone else packed into this room I am thrilled at the chance to see her again.

A Bridge Too Far is on TV. It’s far from perfect but it’s still an impressive achievement, with lovely character moments in among the epic scale. So, y’know, fuck Darren Aronofsky.

I love this book.
Whether you're enjoying #StrangerThings or #TOTP repeats, how about investing in a book that tells you in some detail, month by month, what the 1980s in pop music were like.
