putthison: This is a hat made by fashion types for a mass-market retailer, and it will be purchased by numerous douchebags.  That does not mean it is not lovely. An aside: this type of short-brimmed, pinch-front hat is called a trilby. via Selectism My dad says hats like these are cowardly. He’s a wide brim man.

Billy MacKenzie, piano and strings, “Breakfast” live in 1984. I don’t usually post live YouTube clips - they require too many feats of imagination - but this is very fine.

Fine indeed

“We’re like a non-violent version of Oasis,” acknowledges Barry. “The competition between Robin and I is so strong, we both want attention so badly, that it actually brings something better out of both of us. It’s like a basketball team, one player is pushing the other to rise to a different level. If I didn’t have Robin to compete with, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do.”

For the musician, sure. For the fan, the minutiae of studio tinkering are boring. Much prefer the myth. Don’t want to know how songs are crafted.

“It’s now possible for columnists and companies to hear what people are saying about them. That’s unnerving for columnists, not least because their opinions are now frequently challenged by people who know more than they do. Instead of responding like adults – correcting when they’ve made a mistake, engaging when someone raises a sensible point and defending themselves from false accusations – they are whining like children and dismissing technologies that they don’t understand.”

“The movie will be shown in 3-D in some theaters, about which I will say nothing, except to advise you to save the extra money and see it in 2-D”
