I’m presuming nothing. You literally compared the others to Obama’s oratory.

And let’s not overlook that every war is an environmental catastrophe in one way or another.

I watch it once a year and every time it’s a different, brilliant film. Comedy, romance, drama, polemic, buddy movie, noir, etc.

Seconded about Winder. His trilogy made me realise how little I really knew about European history. I always wondered what an Elector of Hanover was and why Hungarians are like ‘that’. Amusing and informative.

I’ve got Covid for the second time. It still sucks. And that’s double because there’s a public holiday on Monday so that’s the long weekend ruined.

Feeling sorry for myself? You betcha.

“The Tube” feels even more reductive.

The joke about serving in the movie The Ballad of Wallis Island runs this a close second.

I just looked up who played on it and found out that Bedders from Madness played the upright bass on the track. This is despite buying the single all those years ago.

I hate Lord of the Rings because it's tedious drivel.

Oh come on now. You can hardly blame the motorist. There's a bicycle right there in the picture.

I will be going to see the new Elvis concert film. Although I try to live the Mod Life, I un-ironically love Elvis in all his glorious excess.

I wavered a bit when Public Enemy had him in the crosshairs but was relieved when Chuck D reconsidered. (John Wayne can still get to fuck mind you.)

I’ve travelled around a lot of Europe but for some reason never been to #Germany or #Poland.

If I were to hit the road/rails in those two countries where* does anyone recommend I visit?

*Obviously Wuppertal is already on the list. I mean c’mon, it has a monorail!

Isn’t this the old, old story that British business management is lazy and dogmatic? Empire and its easy returns from plunder and captive markets meant it didn’t have to try hard and develop the requisite skills. The end of empire left them floundering and they’ve never caught up.

He doesn’t have to be bright, just brighter than the folk who vote for him and his gang of weirdos.

p.s. should it be spelt weirdoes like potato/potatoes?

Maybe I’m just getting old and cranky but I’ve got to the point where I think computers and IT are a net burden on the world.

Can we just press pause until we figure out what WE really want (and not just what capital wants)?

I really like it when a track is mixed where you can clearly hear some instruments through one speaker and others though the other speaker.

If you’ve been wondering who or what Andrew Windsor in the back of that car reminds you of, look no further.

In the court of the crimson king.

Quantumania was awful. It gave me a headache. The visual equivalent of giving a small child a drink full of sugar and artificial colours.

Fair play to U2 for having a go.

But why did they have to shoehorn all the Jesus stuff into American Obituary?

Not now Bono. Not now.

And the music album she made with guitarist Bernard Butler is pretty good too.
