Genuinely one of the best things, EVER. Twenty-four minutes of someone recreating "Don't You Want Me", by the Human League - it's absolutely essential viewing www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR4W...

I just watched the first episode of TULSA KING. It’s like slipping into a nice pair of mafia slippers with Sly. Pretty good and very enjoyable.

The Supremes "Let Yourself Go" (1976)
A very underrated product of the Motown studio machine, this fiery high-energy track never got the proper extended #disco #remix it deserved. Slick, charismatic and powerful, it remains one of the group's best. 🎶

My pocket-sized review of
INLAND EMPIRE;
INLAND EMPIRE;
This film (INLAND EMPIRE) was a real trip, blurring the lines between the real and the imagined. It’s not an easy watch at all and it laments at length the effect that Hollywood can have on an actor. Nothing as trite as marks out of ten here. This was fierce acid. It’s more art than box office.

Today is Twin Peaks episode #1 day. I watched the first half hour yesterday so we’ve had the death of Laura Palmer and the subsequent mourning.

I’m halfway through this on my David Lynch odyssey. I’m giving myself a couple of months to watch all his major work. Including Twin Peaks 1-3. Hence two months.

I’m about to have a David Lynch career retrospective. My brain needs a good kicking.

This gritty #funk energy! It's what gave #disco its #groove, and often came from many lesser-known acts with so much #soul. Prime example of material you'll seldom find on today's bland, sanitized streaming services

I think I’ve found a new home on BlueSky. I can’t deal with X anymore. It’s fortunate as well because my last account was terminated by the Boss Man.

🎧 on today, and a detailed listen to the development of the sounds, mixing and production over the years.
Latterly, to bring in Flood and especially Francois Kevorkian was a genius move, as anyone who has heard his mixing on Kraftwerk's Techno Pop will know.

Perfection in recorded form.

35 years on it’s still their shining pinnacle.
If you’ve never heard it, you are missing out on one of the all-time greats.

On David Lynch;
One of the few truly original sets of eyes and ears in film. He actually made a contribution to the art, not just by recycling old themes & dialogue for a buck. Totally unconventional, but he brought that through into the everyday. I really hope he’s still questing somewhere. 💔

I’ve been thinking about where I grew up recently. I was very lucky as it was awesome for kids.
When I become a Crypto billionaire, I’ll swing some kind of purchase order on all the houses & have them all restored, as they’re now run down and that’s sad.
Mind you, they say you can never go back.😭

Currently reliving 1991, courtesy of the music I was into at the time. Music records moods and body states, I’m convinced of this. I feel young(ish).

I hate my first name with a passion. I always have. To pronounce it makes you sound like you’re having a mini-stroke. It’s a wretched name.
I was nearly a ‘Richard’, but that’s hardly any better. 😆
