But Andrew Hickey Died Ten Years Ago This Very Night @andrewhickey.500songs.com · 29/09/2026

You know how I keep going on about how the Bee Gees were actually *fucking weird*? Prime example. "Sweet Song of Summer" sounds absolutely nothing like the title, but exactly like what you'd expect from a 1982 John Carpenter remake of The Wicker Man, if you can imagine such a thing.

25 years since William Basinski filmed smoke billowing from Ground Zero, blasting his Disintegration Loops into the setting sun, on the rooftop of the apartment he had just found out he was being evicted from. What's said in the screen grab here is perfect. Beauty is the strangest thing, isn't it?

Mate, so many. So many of these. I used to vehemently defend Woody Allen until someone pointed out "Even if he didn't molest his kid (I remain convinced he didn't) he's an entitled piece of shit" The Epstein stuff is just a further disappointment. Take the Money and Run is an eternal banger tho.

The World's Most Likeable Man is gone. I loved Richard O'Sullivan. Charisma in sideburns. You know the hits, so here he is in typical self-deprecating form as a chauvinist dandy for John Temple suits youtu.be/jkYU0xh3vEU?...

Yayoi Kusama has died. I became quite fascinated by her work when I was in art therapy. An amazing woman. Volunterily lived in a psychiatric hospital. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Her colourful creations drew large crowds and fetched some of the highest ever prices for a female artist.

She is a great example of someone who undercuts all their collective boss-class bullshit about how lefties may not think they’re warm and fuzzy but they create jobs and keep the economy running; Dolly Parton was a massive job creator and businesswoman who also managed to not be psychotically evil

Just, you know, dang. From ILX just now.

Saw this comment on reddit:

Years ago I was sitting in a bar and this dude sat down and talked about working for Dolly. Apparently she was really big on drug testing so she fired him. I asked him if he was mad at her for firing him.
He was like, "No man, she put me through rehab, I'm just a fuck up. She's still putting my kids though school and keeping a roof over their heads. She never had kids and she's still a better parent than me. That woman is a saint."

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

I heard this explained as the potluck theory of free speech. Found the original post but not sure who the author is.

I was thinking of the "free exchange of ideas" last night. You know, it's not like a market, it's like a potluck. Everyone brings their own ideas and you sample others and some are familiar with a twist, some are interesting but not to your taste, some are bad, some are lifechanging. You can get into a discussion about recipes or technique, or what have you as people talk about the food.

If some brings mashed potatoes, you can debate the appropriateness for a potluck: is it too bland? Will it get cold on the table? Do potatoes make up too much of our diet?

But if someone puts a steaming platter of dog shit on the table, we're not going to debate it. And when we tell them to take it off the table, it's not because we are afraid of eating their dog shit or we think that it's going to revolutionize lunch but we don't want to allow that to happen.

We tell them to get it off the table because there is no debate to be had. It's dog shit. It's not an open question, it's not a matter of palettes or picky eaters.

That's why we don't engage with neo-nazis and white supremacists, and it's why we don't (or shouldn't) let them come to the potluck.

Designed by Iginio Lardani, the title sequence of A Fistful of Dollars (1964) uses rotoscoped silhouettes of horseback riders and gunfighters bathed in stark red and black. Set against Ennio Morricone’s whistling, whip-cracking score, animated gunshots blast names onto the screen.

I'm both of the mind that fictionalised bio-pics are the lowest form of cinema and simultaneously annoyed that people are freaking out about behind-the-scenes shots of the cast larking about, like this is what the actual films will be like.

We were watching Jonathan Demme’s Something Wild and paused for a loo break. Look at this beautiful image we paused on. Like a Gregory Crewdson or Philip-Lorca diCorcia photo. Tak Fujimoto was the best.

A nighttime scene outside a neon-lot motel. Jeff Daniel’s stands inside a phone booth wearing bowling shirt and shorts while a paunchy man in red t-shirt and black slacks walks past holding a blue motorcycle helmet. His Harley is in the background with its pillion passenger, a dog sporting goggles and small helmet.

"What radicalised you?" "I had to see a black woman in a film once" "Jesus Christ really? They FORCED you to watch a film?" "No, but it was from the guy who refused to show a single image of a Japanese person in his movie about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so I just assumed...."

You could sit me down and draw diagrams about the historical, cultural, sexual etc. importance of The Rocky Horror Show, and I still wouldn't want to endure another second of it. I UNDERSTAND it. I just don't LIKE it.

I'm a firm believer in the 'you get it or you don't' school of art appreciation. If it bypasses your gut, 'importance' or 'relevance' are meaningless.

I guess it's the thing of not seeing the transgression because we're so far out the other side of the transgression now. We live in the house it built with labour we have no concept of. "When I was a kid Elvis was so sexually suggestive!" "LOL, OK boomer".
