I ordered a 7" single a little while ago and it's arrived on my birthday. I fear that Olivia's birthday message is a bit mean spirited though.

Olivia Rodrigo 7"single called Drop Dead.

Hope to catch up next weekend...

My calendar app just sent me a reminder that it's my birthday. I just don't think this functionality is necessary, guys

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yay got a birthday present which I'm choosing to believe comes from Zohran and his mother ❤️ (it's from Kerry and I appreciate it all the same).

A copy of the Criterion edition of Mississippi Masala, directed by Mira Nair.

A rather neglected film called Gone to Earth. Beautiful, very striking as you'd expect, lots of the old psychosexual tension

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The weather in London has turned colder and wetter as if to recognise the first day of the film festival #LFF. I'm off to my first film which, because I'm getting older, is a restoration of a Powell and Pressburger film, though I'll see a few newer ones over the coming week.

I have completed the centrist dad challenge of both parts of the De Gaulle WW2 film and now I need to go read some doorstop size history books

040

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Oh they've made an origin story film about the energy drink. I suppose I should see it, but I'm very much looking forward to Tom Hiddlestone's NZ accent as Hillary.

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I've just ordered an Olivia Rodrigo single so I'm confident I'll have a mailer soon...

010

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Actually I'm going to be in Manchester on Fri 6 Nov for a work thing if you're around. No worries if not

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Okay I'll let you know. I should have kept some 7" mailers but next time I get one I'll be able to reuse it...

100

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

When will I be able to get it to you though? Are you in London anytime?

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Here they go @jauntyalan.bsky.social @qosephine.bsky.social, shared via medium of screenshots of Excel. If you want any, let me know otherwise: charity shop. Ah my landfill indie days are over. (Don't get in touch if you don't know me or can't collect, this is for reference.)

The ones I'm decluttering are Bubble Gum, Shifty Disco Girl, and Beat Him Up. If you want any let me know and I'll put them aside

100

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I have arguably too many releases by Helen Love and by David Devant as two examples...

110

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Not all of them, just some of the indier ones. I never play the Too Pure singles club releases, someone else should enjoy them etc

100

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

If you're looking for any 7"s just lmk

210

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Thinking of decluttering a whole bunch of 7"s I never play to the new charity record shop opening around the corner. And thus I'm playing a whole bunch of (fairly twee and indie) 7"s for the first time in years

200

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Watching a trailer for Digger, thinking oh no I don't want to watch that. But I'm at a screening of the latest Nicolas Winding Refn film so I feel I'm being fairly hypocritical here.

001

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Oh I think because they are different and younger...? No idea

110

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I feel like the folk moaning about TT going "woke" with their pump clips would appreciate this old school-ass styling.

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

(I had to google what that was all about to be honest. It always surprises me)

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I kinda love Whitechapel. It's got so much London history in it and it's a bit falling apart because it's not a rich area but there's still a dignity to it that I like. Plus it has these old guys walking around with beards dyed such a bright orange that I'd swear they were Dutch football fans.

120

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

A pug cafe is a thing now?

300

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

There's a whole lot of films out I'm very near the cusp of wanting to see but I'm not sure. That De Gaulle epic? New Nic Winding Refn film?? New Na Hong-jin movie? That new Sense & Sensibility?? Hmm not sure. Still haven't seen Tony either.

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

An interesting thing that's opening at end of my street is a charity shop specifically dedicated to records and music. I await it with interest...

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

"Our age of bronze is collapsing". Finally caught up with that long film about a long and circuitous journey that seems almost impossible. There should be a word for that, eh. Anyway, film was good, very engrossing

010

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

It is with a heavy heart I click play on a new series of You Mvst Rememb3r This. What atrocious accents will KL try out this season? I hope there are no French bisexuals in Hollywood's first century.

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Here are the lads. Was a good gig. Nice vibes.

The three members of Saint Etienne on stage at the Roundhouse

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

The support act is Gwenno which is nice. Anyway she's wearing a cat mask now. My phone provides suitably oneiric quality.

120

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I am at the Roundhouse for a St Etienne gig, I guess my last? Anyway Jo is wearing a t-shirt with the Croydon 50p building on it so clearly is the best dressed for this gig.

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Yet another in the, at this point, almost innumerable exhibits called 'fvck that sh1t, not buying their product'.

010

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

My preference would be, though, to work less hard.

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

That said I was so busy working today I forgot to eat for about 8 hours so I'm starting to think protein bars at least make some sense, for the energy.

100

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I feel like 'old man shouting at clouds' but I really don't get the culture of protein shakes, Huel, gels and all that carry on. I just like actual food too much. (Obv yes I've also eaten plenty of vegan products which are v. engineered so there's hypocrisy I admit.) But it doesn't appeal.

100

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I've been pretty good at limiting hangovers by not drinking unless it's something really nice but it turns out when the party is hosted by people who run a bottle shop and bar everything that's available is really nice. I made some tactical errors and my Sunday was even less energetic than usual.

030

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Decided to pop along to a classic Czech new wave film. Now I have a negroni and some snacks, hopefully this DIAMONDS OF THE NIGHT film is a jolly knockabout comedy.

010

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Halfway through Peter Watkins' 6hr film LA COMMUNE (PARIS, 1871) at the BFI. Hope it all works out for them, guess I'll find out soon.

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I'm in Worthing HMV. Didn't end up buying anything, you should support independent record shops lol

010

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Gotta respect a record shop that has a divider for Phoebe Bridgers but not for no-mark chancers The Beatles.

A record shop. The divider says B and behind it Phoebe Bridgers. The record at the front is by The Beatles

120

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Somehow I feel it must be both but yeah I vaguely recall a quad along those lines. PCC I think

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

TIL that Thai wine is a thing.

A bottle of Monsoon Valley Shiraz rosé wine, wine of Thailand, held in my hand.

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I am catching up with the last major Antonioni film I've not seen (La notte) and I am ready to be encompassed by a sense of bleak ennui that matches my own towards recent news stories.

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Got our accommodation booked now, looking forward to visiting Dublin in October. (For the first time!) So what's good there?

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

I'm in Manchester for a weekend of quizzing (shush, it's a thing) and I had to bid farewell to Queer Brewing, a great London brewery of the last decade, whose final day of operation is today. Dykonic indeed.

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Oh for real I didn't believe it but now that I am on the tube during rush hour there's really nobody using it on Fridays eh.

020

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I'm enjoying my time in Bristol, good vibes in this town. Currently discovering a tiny little cinema called the Cube. Anyway here's a photo of a street with no cars in view.

040

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Fair enough, figured you'd be somewhere exotic. I'm in Manchester next weekend myself.

000

Ewan @ewanm.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Oh thank you, I seem to recall something similar being very handy last time I was in Bristol. If you happen to be around over the weekend let me know, I'll mostly be near or in the Watershed.
