RIP Martin Parr. An extraordinary photographer of the prosaic.
Martin Parr has died & this grimmest gloomiest greyest, Sundayest of Sundays is the perfect day to watch Signs of the Times.
All four extraordinary episodes are full of pathos, beauty & humour, life & love stories told through relationships with interiors & objects

Signs of the Times - That Little Bit Different

rereading the poetry collection Terry Street by Douglas Dunn. An actual street off Beverley Road in Hull (walked down it). Larkin influenced but lovely stuff in it's own right.

You can probably guess the writer of this NME singles review. (clue in my profile description). But who is the band? "If I could design a logo for ****** **** it would feature a poodle inna wee tartan coat licking it’s own vomit out of a cd player” Extra pointless clue. They're Scottish.
