Think there were more youtubers and influencers at the Den on Saturday than Bushwackers or ICF. Anyway, new sticker dropped in the toilets at the Cold Blow Lane end
The record that launched a thousand clips of Nile Rodgers telling the same story over and over again on documentaries about disco on BBC4
Arguably the greatest disco record which was the unexpected result of Nile Rodgers doing a very bad impression of Grace Jones
This is like when the young punks became the dinosaurs they set out to replace, like when Acid House meant no door policy, hey, it's open to everyone no hang on, not you, no jeans, no trainers

Saw the newly restored and retooled Ken Russell's The Devils last night. As I turned to @blockup.bsky.social and said when this pair popped up, Chemical Brothers have let themselves go

Of interest to at least one of you – I'm looking at you @dustysevens.bsky.social – there's a companion piece to @grantmcphee.bsky.social's excellent Big Gold Dream doc up on Amazon, the self-explanatory The Glasgow School A Postcard Records Oral History. Plays like a DVD extra, one for the heads
"Why Trump's playlist is balearic" Danny Rampling for The Daily Telegraph
Very possibly the most incoherent playlist in music history. Utterly berserk.

Got to admire Fr*d De*kin for playing the long game and announcing a gig on the back of his social stuff. Going to go along on the night, wear a shit jumper and do some weird jerky dancing that no normal person would ever do right in front of him, see how he likes it
Just listened to K*mi B*denoch on Today this morning. In related news, just smashed my flat up.
Sadly, didn't get a screen shot, and it didn't reappear after I refreshed it, but got served Starlink ads while reading a story about Alex Gibney's doc on the Guardian this week
Also see you down the front, again, perhaps more truthfully, halfway up the seats in the Megascreen
#Bristol in the 1960s, Buster Keaton and The Beatles! All in one event on Sunday 13th September! Special intro by @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social as well! With thanks to @filmhubsw.bsky.social. Tickets available here: hdfst.uk/e157636
See you down the front. Or, more correctly, mid-way up the seating in the Megascreen
Before he went to Hollywood to make Point Blank and Deliverance John Boorman worked in BBC Bristol making documentaries. We’re showing six 12 September with @swsilents.bsky.social Book here: www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/bri...
The return to physical media is a radical act. A book in your hand or a record on the turntable belong to a world beyond subscriptions, licenses, and corporate permission, and they can be lent, inherited, annotated, repaired, and loved. They remain when the platform fails and the servers die.
yes....YESSS.....
Shout out to my cousin's partner Cate for curating this season. Will be dipping in and out
Curated by Catherine Wheatley, the latest BFI season - Claude Chabrol: Elements of Crime - brings together some of Chabrol’s most compelling rogues and disturbing works back onto the big screen across the UK in September and October.
New Lambchop album and the retooled Emperor Machine version of @acertainratio.bsky.social's Sextet making the world not seem as shit as it quite clearly is today
Saw this at The Nickel Cinema yesterday, which seemed somewhat apt. Long, but worth it. Will be writing about it somewhere or other, obviously
📼 First look at the trailer for #Videoheaven, Alex Ross Perry’s essay-documentary about the rise and fall of the video store. Narrated by Maya Hawke. Opens at @ifccenter in New York July 2, and Vidiots in LA August 6, with expansion to follow.
Any excuse, although always a fan of @wrongtom.bsky.social's "arguably…" posts
Arguably the greatest album cover/title based on a surrealist portrait by René Margritte which was in turn based on a photograph taken by Man Ray of Edward James, poet, patron of the arts, and illegitimate son of King Edward VII
Good to know he's been talking to people for years
Reposting for the Monday lunchtime crowd and for the decent discussion in the comments of the piece!
You romanticise your heroes, quote from Marx and Mao Well their ideas of freedom are just oppression now Nothing changed for all the death that their ideas created It's just the same fascistic games, but the rules aren't clearly stated
