I've just watched LES DIABOLIQUES (1955). What a film. Might take a bath. (I haven't really written anything I just like the poster Letterboxd use) letterboxd.com/danielmudfor...

Truth about all 6 Music contemporary band names. 1. All bands to have banal uninflected 2 word names - Wedding Guest; Nit Nurse. 2. If a band is called something like Ladywoman it’s all male; if it’s called Penis, all female; if it has no vowels or phonetic spelling, queer.

Speaking of fanzines, my favourite activity in the mid 90s was traipsing up to Mark Pawson's stall in Camden Market to pick up Beer Frame: The Journal of Inconspicuus Consumption. It celebrated everything: styptic pencils, pizza lid supports, tinned pork brains and of course the Brannock Device.
Two copies of Beer Frame, A5 black and white fanzines.

I cannot, in good conscience, recommend watching Ski Party (1965)—an abysmal film—but here’s my ranking of its musical performances from worst to best: 4. The Hondells, on a beach. 3. Lesley Gore, in a bus. 2. James Brown, in a ski lodge. 1. A yodeling polar bear, on skis.

I have re-evaluated my opinion of The Late Show over the last coupe of days and found it to be wanting (my opinion, not the film). Carney and Tomlin are transcendent. Yours sincelery, A.N. Idiot

Reading about Booker judging in the 70s-80s. I often think there’s a savagery to a lot of online discourse but publishing was quite a rough and tumble world in 1983 (read to the end)
The archive also unveils the pitfalls of using an Autocue: in 1983, the novelist Fay Weldon was chairing the judges, and used an Autocue to give a speech at the ceremony that mercilessly attacked the publishing industry. “We are the raw material of your trade. You do tend to forget it, you know. You forget that books need writers: that there are very few of us; that we are quite tough, but perhaps not as tough as you think,” Weldon said. “I think you’d do without us altogether if you could.”

Weldon had intended to end on a softer note, but the ceremony’s power was cut by trade-union action at 10pm and her autocue went black. In the archive, she recalls, “just before I got to the 'you are all honourable men' bit. And so because you are reading it, you don't know where you are, so I just sat down and said, 'That is really all I have to say.' So they didn't get that bit. And they were so incensed. And the head of the publishing union came over and hit my agent. It was a wonderful evening!”
