Super cool. Here’s a class traitor dispatch: when you start to make more money you start to pay more taxes. The size of the checks you send to the govt have big numbers on them. It’s unsettling. You need a strategy & that strategy is SUCK IT UP MOTHERFUCKER.

This new Beck album is ridiculously, swooningly beautiful and sad, and because I was such a fan of Sea Change all those years ago it feels like being taken right back there.

Exceptional feature on an artist who still has much to give. Fudge is an extraordinary album, perhaps his best so far.

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

Saw these old Kwik Fit and Do-It-All commercials on You Tube yesterday. An annoyingly catchy tunes sung by jolly workmen. Alas Smith & Jones did an excellent spoof of these types of commercials and even got Daniel Peacock from the Do-It-All ad! Chef's kiss!

I feel that on his Lonesome trilogy, Beck has captured the “cosmic American music” Gram Parsons said he was after. It’s country, but out of Scott Walker and A Winged Victory for the Sullen. The consistency of purpose and execution is such that I would defy a newcomer to order them chronologically.

And therefore C4 will reduce the number of its commissions which reduces the number of shows which reduces the number of indies which reduces the work for freelancers… and the slow death of UK TV continues with seemingly no one prepared to do anything to turn it around… deadline.com/2026/09/chan...
