Extraordinary reporting. And a window on the two Londons - the one we live in and the phantom city of the online rage economy

‘What leak?’

It has rained every day for the past one hundred years

Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen

Today, “why don’t you join the Foreign Legion / … / you’re still in love with Hayley Mills” might be one of the all-time great lyrics #nowplaying

We have Faithless at home. #totp

A more or less perfect single. #totp

A dressing room door, bearing the name of Steps.

Me? Here? #totp

Yup, still know the words. #totp

Bloody love this. Might be my very favourite late R.E.M song #totp

Juxtaposition of Travis and Britney there, a reminder that Travis’ contemporaneous cover of ‘…Baby’ arguably invented the John Lewis ad soundtrack genre #totp

Another day, another can added to the bag for the day When It Happens.

My all-time favourite house is for sale. Absolutely sickening.

Nicest copy I’ve seen, too! I bought it on CD at the time, but that’s long gone. Hoping for reissues of the rest (aside from Barafundle, which was in last year’s RSD releases), as they are at three figured or thereabouts.

A sealed cardboard mailer, opened to reveal two LPs: ‘Bwyd Time’ - Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci; and the first, self-titled Violent Femmes album.

Well, I’ve had worse post days (thanks, @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social!)

Fantastic mouse - after four years of being frequently dropped and carted to and from the office, mine is still working perfectly.

A Japanese copy of Steely Dan’s Gaucho

And to test it out?

A turntable and a small cardboard cube, containing a not entirely inexpensive stylus.

Months of rounding up the change later, it’s time to change this ~3 year old stylus.

Class. I suppose it was good - after loving OUATIH (& novelisation), and Cinema Speculation, and really enjoying his podcast contributions over the past few years - that this business was there to remind me what a solid gold arse QT still is, as well as being one of the worst actors ever to do it.

Grey ink ambulance. Deftly done in an ink colour called ‘Matthew’. Night time scene. Sketchy, watery but good

Solid little ambulance and cone, semi cubist, more graphic not in the rood way

Delicate clown running from ambulance and cone. Soft layered lines and tones

Red watery ambulance with rainbow, small and square

Did you know, I have a whole little gallery of ambulance art for sale. I started doing them in March 2020. The last two here are newly added. They feature a clown and a rainbow.

Well, this was quite the way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Very, very difficult.

Decals is the one, but the rest are virtually inseparable, for different reasons, and yet I own three copies of TMR.

Still the Best One.

one of the best things ever
