I might have to buy this Tom Waits album just for the cover.

'Coyote Vs Acme' was everything I wanted it to be and more. Laughed all the way through. Clever, inventive and sticking it to Corporate cruelty. Great stuff!
Three images from the film. Courtroom, grenade, roadrunner. Beep beep.

It might surprise some of you to know that I once saw Dolly play live. That show was slick, polished and commercial with a strong religious tone. Not my thing at all. But, my goodness....that voice (like her) was the real deal. A genuine force for good in the world. Amazing woman

Lol! Wrong tag? No. Bold tag. I’m shaking up the music challenge community inherited from Obama. We needed to see who’s actually paying attention and who is a Sleepy Joe Biden. Well done Tom, you're now Secretary of State for Tunes.

My Dad took me to see 'Raise The Titanic' when I was about ten. Even the time I inadvertently found myself locked in a bathroom for four hours was better than that.

Spent the last few months getting to grips with PKM note-taking software and watching countless YouTube videos about "second brains" and linked thinking.🤔 My kids just roll up their sleeves and get on with it instinctively.😃

Taking the first opportunity to sit out in the early evening sun and read a book. Isn't nature lovely. Then see a sparrowhawk violently capture and kill a blackbird. Isn't nature a bastard. Anyway, picture of the murderer attached. Still on the loose. Approach with caution.

’Cabaret' is one of the few big films from the 70s that I haven't seen. It shows up all the time on the BBC but every time it does, something happens that prevents me from watching it. So it is tonight. I'm drowsy from hayfever tablets and so it's early to bed for me Ah well, maybe next time....

Jason Statham's new film 'Shelter' is the absolute mean average of Jason Statham movies. Entirely generic and formulaic. That's not a criticism. It was totally the movie I needed at the end of a shitty day/week/month.

'Metropolis' (1927) imagines the year 2026. This title card is from the Giorgio Moroder revamp of 1984.
Title card: "The year is 2026, A Dickensian "best of times, worst of times," where total oppression and manipulation of the masses is wielded by the unquestionable power of the few."

This dude lives on the Christmas tree and gets up to mischief every night. The naughtier he gets the more the kids love him. Last night they pushed their luck and asked it to do something so cheeky it would affect the whole house. So he switched off the internet for the whole day. It's been bliss.

Ask an AI to design a Christmas card and it won't come up with a penguin playing football whilst holding a hand grenade. AI is shit. Kids are great.

Well done Amazon, you've really excelled yourself this year. Leaving two electrical items outside in the constant rain *behind* the empty bin I'd left out on purpose to avoid all this was your masterpiece. There's a reason I only use you once a year when I absolutely have to. You bastards.

Possibly?! I was working on the basis of this discogs listing which has it as a B Side. Having said that, a close look at the label photo doesn't give either track a definitive A or B status. Comments do state 'Aht Uh' as the B Side. Who knows? I'm bored listening to myself now....😂
