I watched The Straight Story on Prime last night, the David Lynch I didn't know about (it's not in the box sets). A slow road-movie (by lawn-mower) with no sex, swearing or violence, but with Sissy Spacek and lots of old cowboys, what was not to like? On at the BFI in Jan.

All groups who have singular names without the definite article are pretentious. Should be: The Buzzcocks The Sweets The Wars The Cold Plays The Kneecaps The Wet Legs... Who else?

Birmingham 81 has done a nice job of capturing some of our "How To Never Have A Hit" show at the Betsey on Sunday, and I say that as someone who usually has a horror of such recordings. Thanks Andy.
