The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s EXPERIMENTAL REMIXES album features work from Mike D, Beck, Moby, GZA, and Prince Paul among others - fun times, and it may very well be the most *1990s* musical artefact ever

This one’s always a pleasure to watch. One of the *Songs Of The Century*
Happy birthday to Mike Scott. Here's a joyous video of him singing his Waterboys classic The Whole of the Moon with a bunch of very excited schoolchildren in Clifden, County Galway, Ireland in 1987 youtu.be/pLAPOxpXGkU

And a subplot featuring those notorious East End gangsters, the Thompson Twins
Looking forward to Andy Serkis’s “1984” where hip young Winston Smith gets caught up in the crazy music scene of ‘80s London. As he parties with Wham! and Eurythmics there’s hardly any time to … relax.

For decades now, Robbie Williams has been one of the biggest international stars going - and despite all that fortune and fame, he’s cursed to never be recognized in North America

And if California slides into the ocean;
Like the mystics and statistics say it will;
I predict this motel will be standing;
Until I pay my bill.

There’s a *PTA jealousy* thing brewing here - he knows he couldn’t make a PTA film in a million years while PTA could ape his work whilst sleeping. I love both their work, but Tarantino totally fits the profile of aging into a crank that lashes out due to insecurity

Spending the early part of the workday listening to Sinéad O’Connor and THAT VOICE - one of the greatest and most powerful ever put to tape! Transcendent stuff, and perfect for when everything’s been blanketed by a light snow

The Beatles Anthology AI treatment isn’t as bad as people are making out - for example, the footage of them winning the 1968 NCAA men’s basketball title looks fantastic

The Stones release the “Let it Bleed” LP today in ‘69

Martin Scorsese said people sometimes ask why he uses “Gimme Shelter” so often in his films. It does something, he said, “no other piece of music does for me .. There’s fear. There’s seduction. It’s the sound of consequences rushing toward you.”

This one is still as incredible as when it came out - timeless classic, absolute face-melter
