What a superb music week this is turning out to be! After Defected Malta, I head to SE1 for Faith with Harry Romero, Sophie Lloyd and crew. But Robert Plant will be hard to beat 📚

“Venues are getting thinned out, although that’s still probably the best way for musicians to pay for their dinner. I don’t know what’s happened exactly, but it’s tough being someone who uses human expression or artistic expression as a kind of livelihood.” Amazing Jim Jarmusch stuff here 🫖

“George Harrison may be thought of as a holy man, but the primordial ooze his career emerges from is made of cars.” If you too love George Harrison, this is a complete Sunday treat. This one is for (and indeed by) @kalebhorton.bsky.social 🕊️

Joseph Bien-Kahn @josephbienkahn.com · Aug 1

The great @kalebhorton.bsky.social wrote my favorite story from @essesmag.com Issue 02. It's online!

And please watch the Instagram Reel in which noted GeorgeHead Kaleb correctly ID's "Faster" as "such a generic 1979 piece of cocaine Los Angeles session-guy pop." 👇

Regardless of whether his family and estate signed off on this or not, the ethics around this are awful. Let Stan Lee rest in peace!!!

Favourite Bluesky convo this week and hard to disagree with @dannykelly.bsky.social’s overall assessment below #TwinPeaks

Danny Kelly @dannykelly.bsky.social · 17d

So me and the daughter completed our Twin Peaks watch this week.

Season 1 Charmingly weird
Season 2 Bloated and a bit of a slog
Fire Walk with Me A return to form
Season 3 Absolutely Batshit crazy

Glad we watched it but was a chore at points but lovely and surreal at others.

“I never did look like a 21-year-old kid just outta college who’d never been laid.” Wonderful, erudite stuff by @christinalefou.bsky.social here 🫖

Christina Newland @christinalefou.bsky.social · 22d

It's really interesting to read this 2019 piece back, where I address some of the critiques of Redford. Especially because I love him so dearly, I tried to be frank about his creative flaws & why they sometimes worked to his advantage (and sometimes did not!) www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...

Robert Redford: act natural

In charismatic performances of immense restraint over more than half a century, Robert Redford blended traditionalism, predictability and inscrutability to great effect. From our January 2019 issue.

“Am I really so bad? Am I really so frightening?”

Dave Itzkoff @ditzkoff.bsky.social · 22d

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Ralph Moore @ralphusmoorus.bsky.social · 22d

Precisely this and I’d wager Quiz Show is one

Bill Chambers @flmfrkcentral.bsky.social · 22d

RIP Robert Redford. Directed at least two masterpieces imho, possibly four. As sturdy as movie stars get. Lived a full life but this one stings because he was one of those constants, y'know?

The continuing saga of records you forgot ordering, landing on your doorstep…

A selection of tracks selected by DJ Alfredo - assume it is a reissue by Rebirth. Anyway it’s called ‘pa rai so - The true spirit of Ibiza’.

"We went away to the Forest Of Dean with a pile of folk records for a lyric-writing retreat. We thought we’d picked an obscure place, but there was a visitor’s book, and the last person who’d stayed was Bill Drummond."
