A baby’s first five minutes, Port Jefferson, Long Island, 1959. Eve Arnold
'Subjects throughout her six-decade career were diverse, from a same-sex couple’s wedding to migrant potato pickers on Long Island, and the first minutes of a baby’s life.'

Alan Sepinwall's tastes have meshed mostly with mine, for years, so this is a very good sign. I'm not going to read any more about the show, ang go into it cold.

The three of you are delightful together, such a lovely vibe. Great tracks too, as usual!

Between AI doing their papers, and parents taking care of living expenses/life hurdles, these kids are going to splat into the ground if they ever make it into the workplace.

Okay, time for some of you to get in training for Thanksgiving...

The first thing that I read today, fascinating, and saddening. There's an exhibition of his superb work in NYC currently.

A rave review for my brother's new show, in The New York Times!

Why would their opinion be worth anything? Just another grab for attention.

My brother just posted about the Magnum Square Print Sale focused on the theme of 'Youth'.
No prizes for guessing that I'd go for the Ernest Cole one of a lad playing electric bass, whilst leaning on the hood of a car.

Phew! IYKYK

Love listening to you and Dora Levite, a great combo of music choices.

Amongst the people and projects I'll be rooting for tonight, Owen Cooper in Adolescence, is up at the top. A jaw-droppingly astonishingly good performance. At the start of his career, you can tell he'll be a major star in the near future.

I can remember exactly 45 years ago bringing this back from the HMV shop, putting it on my decent stereo (Pioneer turntable, Rotel amp, Celestion speakers.) The songs were so exciting, and the sound leaped out into the room. It felt like another change in his approach, a particularly thrilling one!

I've watched that episode multiple times just to see her scenes. A great character, perfectly portrayed.
