When I pick two random films from my 'to watch' list, it's surprising how often they turn out to share a theme... here it was "what happens when you rat on a love rat?". Surprisingly it's the Loren, not the Rohmer, film where the answer is really grim. Both are excellent. #movies

I've been fascinated by @rewindtv.bsky.social's reruns of The Cut Price Comedy Show, feat. Roger Ruskin Spear (Bonzo Dog Band) and Stephanie Marrian (the first Page 3 girl). It's kinda terrible but also endearing. Mini-review here: houseofharley.net/the-cut-pric...

Butthole Surfers - Live at the Leather Fly: recorded in the early '90s when the band were a few years past their classic studio album era. But on the evidence of this they could still ROCK live and conjure up bewildering moment-to-moment psychedelic mutations of familiar material. #buttholesurfers
