"WYE AYE MAN I'M A DOCKER LIKE." It's clearly the part I was born to play.

Yes, The Last Ship is back! His musical about Newcastle dockers delivered in a Geordie accent with help from Jimmy Nail and Lindisfarne! Quietus outing?

I'd offer Reacher, Love Lies Bleeding and Rebel Ridge as recent updates on the format. They should re-do Renegade though. That programme ruled.

It's worth getting a Quietus subscription for this piece of writing alone. Mary Chiney on the Nollywood soundtracks of Stanley Okorie and the VHS culture of Nigeria.

Man, George Eastman, one of the towering presences in Italian exploitation movies, and one of those actors who, when they turn up on screen, you give a little cheer, has died. RIP You absolute gut muncher.

Yeah, it's probably some of Cooder's most 'Out there' stuff. Heavy on the drones and tablas, which tends to do it for me! Trespass is pretty entertaining. A little overstretched maybe, but some great performances and action.

Great soundtrack. The film still holds up as well. I think in terms of favourites Southern Comfort might just shade it for me though

LISTEN THROUGH THE BROWN WINDOW has been written about in Radio Times which is a nice surprise. You too can Listen Through The Brown Window wherever you find your podcasts.

I cannot get on with him AT ALL. To the extent that I found it heartening to read about what a plonker he apparently is in that 'Meet Me in the Bathroom' book.

Now thinking a lot about those Beach Boys Cruises. They were in many ways tacky, but also the first one in particular was quite profoundly moving in a way something like that shouldn't normally be.

Aronowsky's 'Mother!', a film so bad that after watching it I blacked out and woke up under a tree in Cockfosters.

All the rock bros losing it about Sade being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is fun. Though admittedly she did drop off a bit after The 120 Days Of Sodom.

I read your 'Caker's Man' in the Ellen Datlow 'Best Horror of the Year' anthology (I forget the year) the other day. Magnificently horrible.

He's not only obsessed with markets, he's obsessed with justifying his obsession with markets. It's demented.

He can start a sentence in neutral, become suddenly and animatedly angry for about three seconds and then finish it with tears of joy in his eyes. It's astonishing to see. Like watching a man tripping for the first time.

He'd be looking straight into your soul. Unblinking. The merest hint of a mirthless smile on his lips. Eyes of cold blue steel.

He hears you laughter from the kitchen: "I'm glad it's funny working here. I'm glad that we're all having a nice time in my kitchen. But I wonder when are we going to stop having that 'nice time' and you start showing me the excellence that I'm paying you for. What do you think?"

He... frightens me. Imagine if he was angry with you. Except he'd never be angry would he? Just 'disappointed'. "I'm disappointed, Matthew" is what he'd say.

If there's a better moment in music this year than when that saxophone enters the boisterous fray then I will eat Henry VIII's big floppy hat.

A lot of things used to get compared to "Warhol's Factory" in the early 2000s. What it seemed to mean was insecure people becoming horrible people under the influence of cocaine and no one making any art.

Not only do I suspect that Garland isn't that smart, I also suspect he's a teeeensy bit more right wing than he might want his audience to realise.

While the 'dance floor as utopia' discourse isn't anything new, I do think the most recent strain has a lot of post-Covid anxieties tied into it.

A gloriously silly piece from The Maestro, who appears to have some very odd ideas about cannibals. Such as their being immortal and owning flying horses.
