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.

My dad says hats like these are cowardly. He’s a wide brim man.

tomewing:

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.””

"The mythology of rock ‘n’ roll is nowhere near as interesting as the reality of creativity."

“The mythology of rock ‘n’ roll is nowhere near as interesting as the reality of creativity.”

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.”

Friday Night Lights is back with Season 4. The show’s been renewed for two 13-episode series, against all odds. This series takes up the space I had left in the tv-viewing part of my heart when Buffy ended. It’s fabulous.

“

But I always sensed he was someone exceptional, and if a good father is someone who shows you the way ahead and makes you believe that anything was possible, then he was a very good father,” she says.

“He wasn’t someone you could argue with or make demands of. All you could do was wait in silence. But I felt I knew my father very well. When I saw him on stage, I felt that I was inside him – I saw the real man behind the costume. That’s why I established Editions Brel, because I felt that I was the only one who knew the truth, and it was my duty to communicate it.”

”

A Mountain of One - Bones

A Mountain of One’s album “Institute of Joy” is perhaps too easy to listen to - every single song sounds familiar.

Overall the vibe it reminds me the most of is Kid Loco’s Kill Your Darlings.
