I think his birthday is in January? Although as film royalty he does deserve two

Thanks Steve! It’s got a distributor now so hopefully will be in a picture house near you then. Kudos on correct phonetic pronunciation of filum! Be well cap’n and hope you enjoy the trailer and song.

Aaaaand the song from the trailer. I wrote a song for the ghost…as opposed to about the ghost… versechorusverse.bandcamp.com/album/40-hou...

Just about able to walk in a straight line again after inhaling this short, sustained masterpiece by Jon Fosse in one dizzying sitting.

Glad you’re all safe and well cap’n! Yeah it was pretty horrific from what I saw online. Looks like the anti-racism rally was really well attended which is heartening at least ❤️ Much love to you guys and stay safe sir! Keep up the fine work.

I’d forgotten all about Elvis as a neighbour too. What a treat. Hope you and the family are all wonderfully well cap’n!

This house in my town weirdly reminds me of them too. Eerie!

It’s so damn good. Hadn’t watched since it was broadcast when I was but a bairn & was laughing and creeped out in equal measures! Pure Joe Dante - hero - and a lil Twin Peaks in places too. The Tupperware twins remind me of the nerdy kid from Gary Larson cartoons. Truly, an added bonus.

Rummaging in the Curfew Tower with @kenbartley.bsky.social as well as some recording with Bill & came across a pristine edition of Smash Hits from 1982; featuring this live review of the amazing Gang of Four by the equally amazing @pennykiley.bsky.social Rock &/or Roll.

That strange moment when you’re 2nd hand cd shopping and see one of your own albums in the thrifty wild…so you buy Bernard Butler’s amazing solo album.

Here’s a snippet of the lead track…”Have Some Soul” If you can’t purchase any shares are, as ever, not expected but always deeply appreciated Fuck the warmongers, big tech or not. Support independent arts and humanity Have a nice day! 🙃 shorturl.at/Ro8pF (bandcamp link ⬆️)

It is bandcamp friday - & as a Spotify resistant artist it’s more important to me than ever! 1 purchase of ‘The "not perfect but at least it isn't AI slop...live!" EP’ at £5 is equal to nearly 2000 streams AND you won’t be supporting AI drone warfare by using bandcamp shorturl.at/E8Pom

Years ago I was in-house crew for his Christmas show at Belfast Waterfront. He didn’t play “Driving home…”. My respect for him soared and never dipped. Rest easy indeed Mr Rea.

The Arts Show on BBC2 had me on to yell, strum and kick a box years ago. They drew comparisons with Neil Young, Joe Strummer and Woody Guthrie - all very flattering but I never saw those guys kick a box whilst yelling and strumming. youtu.be/Rs0UDIaPYMg?...

Watched more scary films this month than I have for a few Halloweens now. •The Frighteners (directors cut) •The Vanishing (original Dutch) •The Haunting (1963) •Surge (Ben Wishaw masterclass) •Question Time (seemingly a co-production between BBC and Reform Productions) Enjoyed all but the last.
