Today I become a film star. Well, hardly, but the documentary based on my 2022 London theatre presentation Beatles/Evolver:62 is available from Amazon Prime, 108 minutes of surprising and engaging cultural history for the price of a coffee. In the UK the URL is www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/det...

Beatles fan?

Reposts much appreciated!

It's daft that it pleases me that I have the same brown leather pouffe as Peter Tork's grandma in 1964

The Velvet Underground in Edinburgh, 1993 The Velvet Underground have cast a long shadow over Scotland’s music scene as the below short clip from Big Gold Dream testifies.

When The Velvet Underground came to Edinburgh in 1993.

Have arrived @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social and about to see...

45 years since Alasdair Gray’s Lanark (1981). We’re exploring its artwork, all by Gray. The title page remixes key motifs: the Brain Baby, Marion Oag’s portrait, and Applecross landmarks—micro-stories before page one.

Just seen the sad news that Lamonte McLemore of the fabulous 5th Dimension died earlier this week

It was my extreme honour to step in for Philip Larkin, who was unavailable, and speak a key line from This Be The Verse on the GREAT new single from @simonloverules.bsky.social. Preorder his new album safe in the knowledge that I appear only on one track. @backlisted.bsky.social

Finally got round to listening to the latest bonus episode of @500songspodcast.bsky.social There's so much to love in each episode, but the best thing is being introduced to music you've never heard before.

Jude Wanga | The centre shrinks Peter Mandelson is a case study for the way the Westminster ecosystem protects its own until it is forced, by leakage...

‘This is the deeper problem with centrism: it wants the prestige of professing values without the cost of acting on them. It’s allergic to taking moral risks.’

@judeinlondon.com on the state we’re in, from the blog.

I really like it! I'm a big fan of McGough's Summer With Monika and there is overlap on here. McGear's contributions are great too, though. I didn't know it has been re-released - thanks for letting me know!

Four Cary Grant passport photos from throughout his life, each looking totally dapper and debonair

When even your passport photos look this good, what hope for the rest of us?

Haha! Well done on staying old school and continuing to use cash!

I remember the price of everything in Greggs late '96/early '97. I had a part-time job there at the time and it was before they had proper tills, so you had to add up everything in your head. And shout out the denomination of notes as you put them in the till that we did have. Check 10!

January 23rd 76 saw the release of “Station To Station” by David Bowie.
To mark its 50th anniversary and 10 years since Bowie’s passing how about a listening party thus coming Saturday? @stevenc63.bsky.social @mychameleondays.bsky.social @pavementoyster.bsky.social @bookyvikki.bsky.social

Twiggy loved Klaus Voorman's cover artwork for REVOLVER, and both were keen to work together for British Vogue. The goal was to create images where it was impossible to distinguish between photo and illustration.

From Vogue, 1969
