My Bloody Valentine at Wembley OVO Arena tonight! Still sounds like a weird joke; the least likely arena band. Looks like it be effing amazing though. J Mascis supporting.

Certainly looks and sounds epic. Can’t wait for the Wembley show tomorrow. Apparently shows so far have been very loud (for a change). I saw this band play in a pub and a squat about 40 years ago. youtu.be/mfyDbvDc3ks?...

Still into Meccano.

Always.

Gary Numan was amazing at Hammersmith Odeon, better than expected, no big hits, focus on Telekon era, sounded timeless and futuristic. Great lighting design too, no screens, HO is the spiritual home of the rock lighting rig. Down In The Park might just be one of the all timer classic songs.

I love that ILM and Trumbull had the only motion control cameras in the entire world back then, both technically prototypes, Trumbull’s was so well built for CE3K he later used it for Star Trek and Blade Runner with hardly any modifications.

GARY tonight! Hammersmith, saw him there 41 years ago with blue hair (him not me). Doing Telekon tonight, can’t argue with that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=knPD...

I met a Rothschild, they reeked of brimstone.

Saw the original Running Man in the cinema, it was terrible. Watched it again on video, it was great, some films just work better at home or with friends or drunk - I would refer to this as the Running Man Effect. Reserving final judgement on the new one until I’ve seen it on Betamax (or Blu ray).

In the olden days that space would be used to describe the hotel room the interview took place in or to say how the subject doesn’t look like you’d expect a director/actor/singer to look like.

Yep, also…

Actually quite like these “new” Joy Division prints and T-shirts. store.neworder.com/gb/new-order...

I love how uncomfortable Jones looks throughout this movie.

This new 40th Anniversary video from The Primitives for Thru The Flowers is the most proper INDIE thing I’ve seen in years. Lots of memorabilia, paraphernalia and ephemera youtu.be/wj-24bxJgF4?...

Glen Powell is the AI Tom Cruise.

Did you lose your accent? Or gain your other accent?

You knew it to be true.

Absolutely.

Neeps & tatties 'Neeps' are better known as swedes, the traditional Scottish accompaniment to haggis. An ideal dish for Hogmanay celebrations, First footing, or a Burns Night supper.

Thought it was neeps and tatties? www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/neep...

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead, it says…

I’ve got a bad filling about this.

Get well soon then.

Keith Lemon: The Film – review Leigh Francis's character seems even more desperate and grim on the big screen, writes Phelim O'Neill

This definitely was a zero star review www.theguardian.com/film/2012/au...

Evan Almighty Phelim O'Neill: Avoid like the Ten Plagues.

I think this was one of them www.theguardian.com/film/2007/au...

I tried to give zero stars to a couple of films when I wrote for them and they wouldn’t let me, so extra BS on that.

After all that drama the other night, went to a nice, relaxing big movie red carpet premiere.

Yeah, that’s me alright. Hashtag Running man premiere.
