@barneyronay.bsky.social I've just read your article on Iran / the tangerine turd in the Guardian; the best piece of journalism I've read in a long time. Well done! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Quite simply a superb article:

Father Mother Sister Brother cinema film.

We saw this yesterday at a film festival and I'm still slightly scratching my head as to what I think of it. It's v. good and worth seeing but needed a bit more pace imh. There are 3 unrelated films in it, we didn't realise Tom Waits is in one and he is excellent (never seen him act before).
7/10?

Electronic band - ace songs..

Electronic band - ace songs..

@natterjac.bsky.social Hi, here's those ace B sides: A New Religion which was one of the b sides on Forbidden City, and All That I Need one of them on For You. Even better than some of the songs on Raise the Pressure in my humble..God bless #Electronic ! These are highly likely to be on Spotify..

Why didn't she go on to be great? 😭. Too much money and success early on?

Saw a kids' football match on my run this morning. Boys and girls on each team (girls just as good as the boys), multi-racial. Families cheering, watching. Good to be reminded of harmonious, integrated humanity, our species' destiny, despite it all.

Fair enough πŸ™‚. Did you buy the first 2 singles off Raise the Pressure? 2 excellent b sides on there, typical generosity from the guys πŸ’—...

Such a wonderful album, and like nothing else in the Fall's canon.

It's a fine album and although I don't like mych of the production, Mark I would argue made songs like All I Need is Everything (that wonderful Spanish- esque guitar) and the title track (such successful ambition!) excellent.
An 8/10 for me.

I'm still sad they didn't tour this album, would have worked great live..
