I thought I was fed up with Wings and McCartney's constant reminiscing - but, nah! Now make another film about your solo career, Paul.

Ok, I've watched Man On The Run and despite reservations, it's fucking great. The despair. The joy. The fuck it attitude of Paul and Linda (who cares she can't sing, it's what makes it!). The despair again. The chutzpah. The overwhelming freedom. Joie de vivre.

Infographic about how books are published, sold, and enter the school library. Available at: tinyurl.com/how-books-2026

Remember my infographic about How Books Enter the Library? In this new version, I’ve added an annotated summary of Kelly Jensen’s “Books Don’t Just Appear on the Shelves.” Use this mashup to help folks understand how the claim of porn in school libraries makes no sense. tinyurl.com/how-books-2026

Is it too early to declare Gorillaz' The Mountain as Album Of The Year?

I wish my brain switched off from thinking such things at times.

BBC headline: Robbie Williams leads supergroup in Brits tribute to Ozzy.

I'm sure it's what he would have wanted.

Alright.

I see it's Welsh Night in celebration of St David's Day on BBC Four after #TOTP tonight with the usual suspects, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Stereophonics (yawn!). Rest assured, if I was Controller you'd be getting new episodes of Super Furry Animals or Gorky's Zygotic Mynci At The BBC. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Comedian Linda Smith

It’s 20 years since Linda Smith left us.

Such a unique comic voice. So dazzling in everything - JAM, Clue, Brief History of Timewasting… effortlessly witty and regularly speaking truth to power (and taking the piss out of Boris seemingly weekly)

I was absolutely gutted and still am to be honest.
