I went to see this at Sheffield Showroom around the time it was released and had forgotten all about it and then I read Stuart Braithwaite’s book last week and found out it had a cult following. Think a rewatch will trigger lots of memories.

The 72-76 is perfect for long night time drives but 80-82 is my favourite.

A post about the unlikely friendship between great grandfather Comintern agent Bob Stewart & the bisexual, bohemian writer Yvonne Kapp. She called him ‘the finest human being I have ever known’ and dedicated a volume of her biography of Eleanor Marx to him.

1986-1990 Rollin’ Under the Melody compiled by @jonsavage.bsky.social is a perfect compilation. On the last one I’d have dropped the terrible Psychedelic Furs Heartbeat 12” and Alison Moyet for Propaganda’s Duel and Strawberry Switchblade’s Since Yesterday but this is all utterly wonderful.

the marketing of this book is WILD once you see which Mitford it is
Book cover: the pursuit of laughter, essays, articles, reviews and diary of the most controversial Mitford sister. And it’s DIANA MOSLEY. Complete with a generic picture of a 1930s society belle’s face in pearls.
