I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it. TW: rape, abuse, coercion, and child sex abuse.

Published this yesterday on @everythingjazz.bsky.social, it was wonderful to revisit this album which still sounds so timeless and forward thinking. Thanks to Andrew Taylor Dawson for a great piece.

Sorrow remembers us when day is done. It sits in its old chair gently rocking and singing tenderly in the evening… —Iain Crichton Smith, “When Day is Done” published in DEER ON THE HIGH HILLS, ed. @greeningpoet.bsky.social (@carcanet.bsky.social 2021) www.carcanet.co.uk/cgi-bin/inde...

When Day is Done
by iain Crichton Smith

Sorrow remembers us when day is done.
It sits in its old chair gently rocking
and singing tenderly in the evening.
It welcomes us home again after the day.
It is so old in its black silken dress,
its stick beside it carved with legends.
It tells its stories over and over again.
After a while we have to stop listening.

This is horrible, and a great reminder that we are in the wild west of media at the moment I hope it comes with a disclaimer for listeners that guests have paid to be interviewed

Here, I got you one of those you like: those bewildered late bloomers, tough and small and sweeter than they’ve any right to be… —Don Paterson, “A Winter Apple” Published in THE ARCTIC, @faberbooks.bsky.social 2022 www.donpaterson.net/about-1-1

A Winter Apple
by Don Paterson

for Nora Chassler

Here, I got you one of those you like:
those bewildered late bloomers, tough and small
and sweeter than they’ve any right to be,
as green as Eden, the red an afterthought
as if there’d been an hour left in the season
to paint them all, and where the brush had swept
the snow-white fruit below is stained with pink
as if your teeth had bled from biting it.
It was hard enough to body itself forth
with so few leaves to hide it from the frost
without it burning fuel on working out
where its skin stopped and its flesh began.
All that touched it shook its heart. It was that
or it was nothing. Take it in your pocket
on your long Sunday walk to eat by the loch
with that lone jackdaw only you can talk to.
I make no great claims for this little thing
but I promise only good will come of it.

Never noticed this massive chimney behind The Garage on Sauchiehall Street before. Anyone know which building it served? Perhaps the pre Garage Locarno Ballroom, or the earlier Charing Cross Electric Theatre? Anyway, it looks nice against all the straight lines and the blue sky

My #library tour of Glasgow continues…yesterday it was Langside (closing in a few weeks, so go soon!) Looking down on the kid’s section is this beauty of a mural depicting Mary, Queen of Scots’ defeat in 1568, just up the hill at Battlefield. painted by Maurice Greiffenhagen in 1921.

Absolutely stoked-beyond-words to be asked as a guest on one of my favourite shows. That it was to wax lyrical about The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Jacques Demy, well that’s just the icing on the gateau... And what incredible company too!!
