Mr Keyes, I’m a Medford man, Medford,Oregon. Up in Medford we take our time making up our minds.

The Uneasy Prophecies of Cate Le Bon The Welsh musician’s latest album, “Michelangelo Dying,” offers strange solace in chaotic times.

I do like the new Cate Le Bon, but do I sound old if I admit that Cyrk remains my absolute favourite? www.newyorker.com/culture/pop-...

Rose of Nevada review: Tide travel Vividly shot on 16mm, Mark Jenkin’s film about two Cornish fishermen who return from sea to find they have slipped 30 years in the past is a tale of the fantastic, but it’s rooted in the bleak politic...

Super excited to see Rose of Nevada. Not sure if anyone picked it up for distribution in Canada, but I am hoping that Mongrel or Films We Like might have grabbed it. www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...

NEST NEST a film by HLYNUR PÁLMASON.

I do highly recommend Hlynur Pálmason's NEST, which is up for free at Le Cinéma Club this week: www.lecinemaclub.com/now-showing/...

An incredible cover. That yellow.

It's the 40th anniversary of the release of @throwingmuses.bsky.social's "Doghouse Cassette", the blueprint for their debut album that was recorded with the help of Gary Smith and Geoff Patterson. #TMDoghouse40 Every cassette inlay was colored by hand.

Remembering Kris Kristofferson (1938-2024) ....Kris Kristofferson parks his bike at Oxford University, where he studied English literature as a Rhodes Scholar.

Hartmut Bitomsky (1942-2025) The German writer, film critic, documentary and essay filmmaker Hartmut Bitomsky has passed away.

News via @sabzian.bsky.social that Hartmut Bitomsky has died. I've, embarrassingly, seen only a few of his works, but there's no doubt he's central to the history of the essay film. sabzian.be/news/hartmut...

Cold Journey is a remarkable film and this new Blu comes with important extras like Defalco’s Bird of Passage as well. Essential.

Happy 40th birthday to Just Like Honey by The Jesus and Mary Chain - released as a single on this day in 1985

Today I am loving this 1968 cover of Jazz Journal

i'm starting to suspect that we very wrongly assume people who run for & are elected to political office have some understanding of the expectations, procedures, and legalities of their position.

Sadly no! I am not in London but spotted the schedule and thought it all looked amazing.

What a day! New LPs from both Cate Le Bon and Emma Pollock.

Winnipeg Film Group programmer left no scrap behind Dave Barber kept nearly everything. His family, friends and co-workers knew this, but still, when he died in 2021, members of the longtime Winnipeg Film Group programmer’s inner circle were astonished...

Was great to sit down with Ben Waldman of the WFP to talk about Scrapbook. The launch is Sunday at 7.30pm at the DBC, the house that Dave built! We will walk you through the making of the book and show you some cool stuff that didn't make it in.

An article that makes me wish I was teaching my pop music/critical theory class this year so I could move everything around and drop it into the readings straight away.

UNIS tbm de luxe

Ribbon of the tbm de Luxe

Lightweight, portable, and reliable, the UNIS tbm de Luxe from the former Yugoslavia was the most popular typewriter in the socialist and Soviet blocs in the 1970s and 80s. Peep that Cyrillic keyboard!

will never understand how Canadians became known for saying “eh” when we should be known for our ability to make the phase “okay buddy” mean everything from “of course I will give my life for yours” to “I am the drunkest man alive and I am going to fight you in this parking lot”

Zambia Belonging A counter-archive of found and crowd-sourced photographs from Zambia’s past.

The artist Sana Ginwalla has created an online photo archive based on 1000 uncollected negatives, slides and prints that she found in the attic of Lusaka’s oldest photo studios. What a great initiative:

Irish trio Kneecap says it got no official notice about ban from Canada | CBC News Irish hip-hop group Kneecap has yet to receive any official communication from the federal government confirming its ban from entering Canada, it told CBC News, after an announcement by Liberal MP Vin...

So the decision to ban Kneecap from Canada doesn’t seem to have been done in accordance with any formal procedure but was just a decision that Carney and Gasparro made on the fly and thought made for a good post on the socials? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

A stack of copies of Scrapbook: From the Archives of Dave Barber. The book features a picture of Dave on the cover, smiling. The title is at the top and at the bottom it indicates that it is edited by Andrew Burke and Clint Enns.

Scrapbook: From the Archives of Dave Barber is being launched this Sunday, September 28th, at the Dave Barber Cinematheque at 7.30pm as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Winnipeg Film Group. A deep dive into Dave's archives, this book celebrates his contributions to film culture!

Canada still allows military goods to be sold to Israel, has yet to even recognize the genocide in Gaza, though it “strongly condemns” what is going on over there (wow, chilling). But it’s definite hardline action barring an Irish musical group from the country because we don’t tolerate terrorists.

From Instagram: A Message to Vince Gasparro Your comments about us are wholly untrue and deeply malicious. We will not accept it. No member of Kneecap has been convicted of ANY crime in ANY country EVER. Whilst you outrageously try to claim we are antisemitic 'the Times' newspaper in England today wrote of our headline show in London last night as 'emphatically anti-sectarian'. We have today instructed our lawyers to initiate legal action against you. We will be relentless in defending ourselves against baseless accusations to silence our opposition to a genocide being committed by Israel. When we beat you in court, which we will, we will donate every cent to assist some of the thousands of child amputees in Gaza.

Kneecap, the Irish hip-hop group who was banned from touring Canada earlier today, has this to say to Canadian MP Vince Gasparro.

Hip-hop group Kneecap barred from entering Canada | CBC News The hip-hop trio Kneecap has been deemed ineligible to enter Canada, Parliamentary Secretary for Combating Crime Vince Gasparro said in a video posted to his X account on Friday.

Canada will probably threaten to arrest Sally Rooney next. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Oh yeah, you are exactly right on all of this. My uni library has been great about licensing things of Kanopy for me, but I am mindful about not asking for too much because the costs are so astronomical. And, as you say, there are so many things that are nowhere to be licensed, are beyond reach!

Supporting the Jam, sausages with the Bay City Rollers and defying skinheads: post-punk girl group Dolly Mixture look back The all-girl trio gave punk a playful spin and drew admirers in Paul Weller and Captain Sensible – but, singer Debsey Wykes recalls, faced confusion for being out of step with era’s noise and anger
