For @aquariumdrunkard.com I wrote about my all-time favorite album, Maddy Prior & June Tabor's 1976 Silly Sisters. For me, it finds the perfect middle ground between raw performance and technical skill that was maybe only achievable by this particular cast of characters in that 70s Brit folk scene.

Didn't really associate cutthroat killings with cars until watching the Godfather of Harlem. It's like it's own form of dance/theatre. Someone should probably fund me to do a PhD on this.

People can denounce Internet friendships but I'm sat on a bench waiting to meet an old Twitter pal in Cologne. Having previously met and gone to a gig (Godspeed You!Black Emperor) here a couple of years ago. Life's what you make it etc.

Spent a sobering few hours in the former Gestapo building in Cologne today. Huge amount of (highly relevant to today) information to process. Quite overwhelming but recommended. nsdok.de/Start

Stairs down into the basement of the former Gestapo headquarters in Cologne. People were imprisoned, tortured and hundreds also executed in the courtyard overlooked by everyday life. Many prisoners engraved and drew on the walls and lots of these are preserved.

Here's a new post by me on Robert Altman's adaptation of The Long Goodbye, exploring Elliott Gould's portrayal of Philip Marlowe, the movie's Scuzzy '70s feel, and a multiverse-style fantasy imagining the ideal artists and bands to cover the film's title song. reclinernotes.com/2026/09/13/t...

The Long Goodbye: Altman and Gould’s Marlowe, the Scuzzy ‘70s, and an Imagined Soundtrack

Director Robert Altman called his 1973 adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled crime novel The Long Goodbye “a satire in melancholy.” The film stars goofily sincere Elliott Gould as detective …

If you guys like this wait until you hear about Barry McGee (Twist) & Margaret Kilgallen, married artists that wrote on trains in the 90's, taking inspiration from trainhoppers that would sign their names on cars. They were hugely influential in evolving 90's train tagging culture.

This all starts with a secret handshake between writers and yard workers, a mutual understanding that if writers don't leave cans behind, and they don't touch the identifying numbers on the cars, then there's largely no harm. Writers will go to meticulous lengths to respect the latter rule.

Blue and white graffiti on the side of a train with the numbers 110798 meticulously left alone and untouched

Graffiti with the freight car identification, CTTX 692054, untouched on the bottom left. The graffiti is black and white on a mostly bare metal car with yellow highlights.

Graffiti avoiding the markings TTGX 697986

Graffiti avoiding markings on both the inner part of the piece and also going up and around the numbers with the blue highlight color. The markings are FB OX 50 52 84.

I got lost with Chet Baker again. I've yet to watch a documentary where a man subjugates self and life in a relationship built on the whims and abuses of creative genius. Is there one?

The International Clown Exhibition opened at Naund gallery in Leipzig last night. This is the cover of the accompanying zine in which I am surprisingly an employee of the month. I'm going to be in Leipzig for the closing weekend next weekend if anyone fancies clowning around with me there

The front cover of a zine accompanying the International Clown exhibition in Leipzig from 4-13th September 2026. The zine has a picture of a bare chested Clown with black head and facial hair and blue lower garments kneeling on a pavement. There are 3 coloured balloons above the clown's head. To the right is pink writing on black background detailing the contents. The image is set on a pink background

Short clip from our performance of Tilly Johnson's Still, We Move as part of the As It Is festival in Glasgow. It was a very intense and fun experience and I love watching Tilly and Georgie move whilst attempting to be ambidextrous with sound (here Shruti, drum, sticks, objects)

Just spent literally hours debating the ethics and representational realities of a bio only to say fuck it and write 3 lines of semi glib nothingness because faux academic enquiry, ruthless punting of work, inability to encapsulate a huge amount of work that doesn't quite fit in the required space
