Thinks Mr Sam Rockwell deserved a little golden man for 'MOON' #LFC #YNWA

One Christmas I was in a very busy The Green pub in Mere Green when I heard someone behind me shouting "Give me me nuts!" I turned round and it was Roy Wood furious at the lack of cashews from the 20p a handful little vending machine.

I only meet famous Brummies at the pub.
One summer I was baffled by the wine choices in Cannock Morrisons.

Another shopper showed me the best cheap one. Said his mom loves it.

That was Glyn Purnell.

I only meet famous Brummies at the shops.
One Christmas me and another shopper at New Oscott Tesco were trying to find double cream and a young lad working there offered us two pots of single cream cos that makes double cream.

Side note: the other shopper was TV’s Emma Willis.

BRAND NEW 🍏 How Do You Like Them Apples? 🍎

From the Garden of Hesperides to the Garden of Eden, from the Atalanta and the Trojan War to The Beatles and the iPhone, apples are laden with often conflicting symbolism.

Good to see Omikron: The Nomad Soul is at the V+A. For the record (pun acknowledged), the video game did not beget the Hours album. The two projects ran parallel and leapfrogged, and David Bowie & I had started song writing together for Hours long before the game developers approached him/us. 🎵
A copy of the classic cyberpunk sci-fi computer game Omikron: The Nomad Soul is on display at the V&A David Bowie Centre, Stratford.

The soundtrack was written & performed by Bowie and Reeves Gabrels, whose guitar work helped shape the game’s dark, futuristic atmosphere, and lead to the Hours… LP.

After the budget, the tradition of seeing how "The Market reacted to it", like The Market is a capricious & powerful volcano god being offered a fresh portion of sacrificed goat rather than a collection of overpaid coked-up dickheads gambling with other people's money.

Udo Kier. You will be missed

BACURAU starring the late great Udo Kier now on MUBI.

Here’s a free month so you can watch it 👍🏻

I cannot recommend this movie enough if you're looking to honor the passing of Udo Kier. Trust me - you do not know where this movie is going until you get there. Such a great flick...
If you're looking for an Udo Kier film to watch, may I recommend BACURAU (2019), starts off like a worthy slice of sociopolitical realism and ends up as demented Brazilian neo-western exploitation. Don't read anything else, just see it. Contains one of my favourite film moments of the 21st century.

Masterpiece. Now's a great time to watch it, if you haven't ever before.
As every year at Christmas, some Japanese theaters will screen "Tokyo Godfathers" ;o;
