Bette Davis Eyes

I see WoD are doing their usual plundering of classic 80's riffs. I'm all for it...

We all love a list...

And it would appear that Pitchfork readers love Radiohead:

Squid Game | Official Trailer | Netflix

Half way through this. Strong stomach required but gripping stuff.

Radiohead - If You Say The Word

And whilst I'm here, a previously unreleased Radiohead track. 

Nation of Language - This Fractured Mind

Wiki: Devaney was inspired to start a new project after hearing "Electricity" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in his father's car, a track he listened to in his childhood.^[1] What started out as Devaney "fooling around" on a keyboard later evolved into Nation of Language.

THE GOA EXPRESS - Second Time

This sounds like an AI songwriting bot has listened to every Shine album then turned out their best effort. And it's really good. And some NQ sightseeing for the Northern contingent. And yer man from Ride is the [RCV] Producer. 

Hamish Hawk - Calls to Tiree

Touch of the Neil Hannons about this. 

Another TV recommendation

I watched the first episode of this last night. Gripping stuff...

Winslet

TV recommendation for y'all. Five episodes in. It's very good...

Squid - Paddling (Official Audio)

Always a sucker for a bit of angular art school indie rock. 

PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

Saw this last night. Would recommend....8/10.

Having to use a font called "Rockwell" in a presentation - which has set up an IJ clash in my head.

 

On the other hand...

I have enjoyed this a lot. Still got two episodes to go ...

Avoid at all costs

I wasn't expecting much of this; but it was a lot worse than I could have imagined...

Tempest

Surely Joey and the boys were the Madrid anthem?

EJ

Heard on the radio just now. The official anthem of BMadrid 2000. 

Bands

 Decent article this:

Standout fact: The album charts are still regularly topped by bands thanks to loyal fanbases who still buy physical formats – such as Mogwai, Architects and Kings of Leon in recent weeks – but not since 2016 has one hung on for a second week.

Parasite

And this is really good too. A year after it won an Oscar is ok for nominating a film, right?

It's a Sin | Official Trailer

Have seen 3/5ths of this and it's very good. Steve/Ray I assume your rampant homophobia has abated somewhat and will allow you to enjoy.

Gabriels

I like this a lot...

I might be wrong...

Testing, 1, 2, 3

Been a bit ambivalent about this lot (I believe Lammo is a big fan) - but I like this. Sounds a bit Blur-ish.
