Nice to see another Flora Hibberd fan. She’s on my - rather long - list too, a new discovery for me at the very beginning of the year

Seems a decent list

Whatever else happens, my #Fab50 of the year will feature three Kai Slater albums, Balloon Balloon Balloon joining Radio DDR and Ripped and Torn. Amazing young talent

For Martin Scorsese's b'day, I donated to his Film Foundation, which has restored 1100+ films.

You can even pick a project to support.

Scorsese said restoration is "more important" to his legacy than filmmaking, especially in its potential to inspire young people.

Road sign for 'Skirmish Paintball'

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

Thanks!

Can you provide a link to “SPB”? Rather fancy Cohen’s book. Thanks!

Sure, retro niche maybe, but still Neal Francis should be much better know. Fabulous show at Islington Assembly Hall this evening #funkeee

Marissa Nadler at Southampton’s Papillon last night: a riveting performance, despite all the tuning breaks, in front of only around 25 people

I’ll have another go. I’m mainly about live performance and his at EOTR simply didn’t cut it for me. Maybe just an off day

Sorry, but for me he’s absurdly overrated

Tod Slaughter 💀

If there’s a better first three albums I’d like to hear about it

Mae West goes batty for Belle of the Nineties (1934).

Having produced one of the albums of the year - their first since 1999! - it was wondrous indeed to have Prolapse back live, on the Lexington stage this evening. Glorious

I’ve always had a thing for Walter’s Walk. I suspect I’m alone in this

Farewell to June Lockhart, who will forever watch over us from the heavens. #JuneLockhart #LostInSpace #FilmSky

The Wedding Present in action this evening at Kentish Town Forum. The London crowd typically took a while to get going, but a great night all told

The wonderful Courtney Marie Andrews kicking off her UK tour in the special setting of Twyford Church this evening

@misterquartet.bsky.social how have I never heard of Yowie? Right up my street

Am staggered that only two of your list (Squid, The Divine Comedy) will make my list…so far! I listen to about 25 new albums weekly and haven’t even heard OF quite a few of yours! So you’ve given me a whole lot more to listen to, for which many thanks. So much amazing music now so readily available…

And other shows…a wish came true with selected episodes of Call My Bluff. Now how about International Cabaret and Gavin Millar’s film programme?

Ella Raines by Ray Jones, 1947.

Pitchfork’s list is fairly predictable; I find 8 of these are currently on my “best of” list. If not already I’d definitely give Sharp Pins, Water from Your Eyes and Ryan Davis a listen

Privileged indeed to catch the phenomenal @gweniferraymond.bsky.social at the tiny Wight Bear in Bournemouth this evening

The Wedding Present on the Portsmouth leg of their 40th anniversary tour last night

Pure soul. Effortless musicianship.
A genius who changed music forever. 🙏

He redefined R&B, blending gospel, hip-hop and vintage soul into something timeless. His sound inspired generations. 🎧
