Anyone remember this Sounds Writers Top 100 Albums of All-Time chart? Came out shortly after the NME one in 1985. Can’t get a higher def on it sadly, but if you zoom in you’ll find some absolutely bonkers selections. Four Alice Cooper albums! Tin Drum at 22. I mean, I love Japan, but…

By no means am I a fan of everything they recorded, but the Pretenders can be very proud of their tremendous run of singles from the late 70s to the early 90s, most of which were simply marvellous. So, I shall be tuning in to BBC2 at 9 tonight for an evening of Chrissie & co.

#NowWatching Pather Panchali. Durga’s death scene is one of the most devastating in all cinema. More generally, thinking about how many of my fave films present a vision of the world through the eyes of a child. Kes. Willy Wonka. Spirit of the Beehive. To Kill A Mockingbird. Come & See. 400 Blows.
