Thanks. I actually can't believe it. Annoyingly I was so taken aback I reeled off an email without my glasses on so have probably undermined myself with deeply erratic punctuation. However, I still have the moral high ground x

I may actually have a confidential word in your ear on Monday if no joy as you likely know them

Ha,you'll probably be very disappointed Richard. I'm hoping they up their game though and find a modicum of professionalism in the meantime

Had a really quite shocking experience with a Scottish arts organisation today and if they don't rectify it I'm going to tell you all, and their funders, what it was.

Serious question, how can you know if you have subconsciously ripped off a melody?

Really love this Oren, now on my birthday list so hope you don't sell out although obviously it'd be good if you did (same with Cooked obviously)

I went when I was house-sitting the container camp in the Mojave in 2024, so you heard then! The whole place joined in with it in diverse ways, quite something. Was quite fitting after my glow in the dark figures and Dechmont UFO underpass photos from the 2023 exhibition.The Gram talk was great

I don't often go to talks about Gram Parsons at alien festivals in the desert I should say.

I'm waiting for the non deluxe but the lost Gram Parsons film book is finally on the way. I went to a talk about it given by Chris Campion as part of the 2024 alien festival in 29 Palms and if it's as good as that talk it'll be brilliant wolfandsalmon.com/product-page/saturation-70-limited-edition

I was in the cheap seats in the Gods, most of which were empty. Why are theatres not running partnerships to give people access to seats that are just lying empty

They played last year and I had a ticket but then was unexpectedly in Perú, the friend who went in my place said it was one of the best gigs he'd ever been to. Not sure I can go this time

Think I meant windows and doors re fireplaces in the alt text but was distracted by the chimney that didn't exist

The gable end of a building that was previously not the end, as evidenced by bricked up fireplaces etc. The shadow of the bus station opposite is reflected and looks a bit like imagined stairs on the left and a chimney stack on the right. Below are electrical units, a curved bike shelter and left facing traffic lights. Above is bright blue sky with cheery clouds. Buildings to the fore and back are on either side.

Finished 4 seasons of Godfather of Harlem and can now do a good enough Stella Gigante accent,including lapses, to annoy everyone with until the 2 hour finale next year.

The pathos and heroic perseverance of an unstoried art life should perhaps be the title of a full article by you.

Sometimes I love reality

I saw one looking for its mum earlier this week, it was a bit heartbreaking but I tried to reassure it. It probably feels reassured by seeing you, they're smart
