SHUTTER ISLAND was released 16 years ago this week. One of the more underrated of the Scorsese/DiCaprio collaborations, the story behind the scenes has a Kafkaesque genius to it…

I sent this to Pete Paphides a few weeks ago.
Sadly I couldn't make the gig, so Geri went with one of our girls and they bought this at the merch stall.

Just catching up properly with the show and can confirm your post-play comment 😄

I've only once given up on a book. I gave it away to someone who said they'd never given up on a book.

They gave up on this one, though.

It was written by someone who has won the Nobel Prize in Literature, too.

We need your LIM request messages, too 👍

Have a good one.

Cracking second hour, Andy. I'll listen to the first half on catch-up.

Book Review: Graham Parker's Howlin' Wind On the face of it, an entire book dealing with the first album by Graham Parker and the Rumour might seem a bit excessive. While Howlin’ Wind is an important work and a superb debut, it represents a s...

Praise abounds for grahamparkershowlinwind.net by Bill Kopp in his website, writing "Nachman recognizes that @thegrahamparker.bsky.social's work deserves discussion and consideration alongside that of higher profile artists" and that "Nachman writes with economy and wit (though free from snark)."

Sadly doesn't seem to reach this part of the world on digital. Hopefully will be available on catch-up.
Have a good one.

The show doesn't seem to be available on BBC Sounds or the Radio London website today?

The complete TOTP performances (in sequence) of The Jam and its fascinating to watch them go from Matching suits (went on longer than you think) a patch were Bruce was like the frontman to the leap of the All Mod Cons era, then from a three piece to Kool & the gang sized.

May Labour's Yvette Cooper, the former Home Secretary, be remembered always as the politician who imposed the ban at the behest of Britain's powerful weapons industry, so it could continue to profit from the deliberate massacre of the people of Gaza

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban

Ah, the SS Uganda. I went on a school cruise on that rust-bucket in 1979.

It ended being used as a hospital ship during the Falklands conflict.

GROUNDHOG DAY was released 33 years ago today. One of the great fantasy rom-coms, and among the most beloved of Bill Murray’s movies, the story behind the scenes is as magical as the film…
