As Barnsley supporters we used it a lot. 😉
You don’t know how much ‘fuckin boo’ means to me. It became a catchphrase of my late best mate after hearing it during coverage of a Scottish League game when you could briefly watch them on English TV. From then on, we used it to indicate general displeasure regardless of context. Fuckin boooo.
Much as I love the original I think this is the better tempo.

Bold retrospective take.
I know it was the album where ‘serious’ music journalists (Morley) stopped ridiculing them, and yes it does contain Ghosts & The Art of Parties, but as a whole Tin Drum isn’t as strong as either Quiet Life or Gentlemen Take Polaroids.
It’s a fair point even though I am guilty myself. I would extend the antipathy to YouTube modular bro’s. Of course the Eurorack rigs look fabulous but has anyone actually heard anything worth listening to again?
Quiet Life is (still) a great album. Some wonderful stuff on there but as Barbieri says in the piece I linked, the band was already moving in that direction and would have got there without the Moroder single.
Strong disagree. At the time the prospect of Moroder producing was very exciting but the end result was (for me) a disappointment. Lacked the chug and repetition of the best Moroder and lost any of the bands character. The band don’t particularly like it. Quiet Life was the real step forward.
You’re probably right. Unfortunately I don’t think the modern world does ‘treading carefully’ or nuance any more.
Yes, and I agree there probably was nuance in his response that was easily misunderstood. However in the past he has said ‘all film is political’ so it sounded like a cop out. He argues that filmmakers should primarily show empathy. Which itself is a political act at the moment, why not say that?
Love Wim, who always seems like a decent, thoughtful man who has made some of my favourite films. But I’m disappointed in that response, which manages to contradict his own statements in the recent and distant past. It was even worse than just saying “I don’t want to answer that”.

Cheers, I loved Tokyo Ueno Station and have had End of August on the ‘to read’ pile for ages.

Was going to go for The End of August by Yu Miri but couldn’t face 700 pages at the moment - lightweight I know.

T’internet seems to class Progress Reform as an EP. I do prefer that one tbh
First pass at #5DebutAlbums0509
Yay - I’ve also got Peter Broderick in my draft list. And the Field is a good choice.
Hildur Guðnadóttir’s debut Mount A was 2006 too.
Aye and they are one of the few sides who are actually playing better than usual.
Weirdest PL season. Leaders are horrible to watch, chasing 4 or 5 are extremely average. And yet there have been some really exciting games.
VAR still shite though/
For any other fans of Eiko & Jim. Here they are doing their thing in Milan last October.

Having different ones is a good idea. I’m usually put off audio books because of the narrator.
Any good?
Cover of the paperback copy of Sum by David Eagleman
Thought My Brilliant Friend was wonderful. Not the sort of thing I would usually read but such beautiful, hypnotic writing.
Next up, David Eagleman ‘Sum’ - charity shop find, wanted to read this ages ago.

Yeah I agree. Visually it looked amazing and some of the ideas and edits were fantastic (as they were in Decision to Leave) and I loved the bleak humour. Didn’t really notice any dips despite how long it was.
Poster for the Park Chan-wook film No Other Choice
Loved ‘No Other Choice’. A lot of fun and beautifully filmed. Still prefer Decision to Leave but this wasn’t far off.
Hi Richard, hope you are well.

Absolutely, I’m sure you must have seen this but it’s one of the best things I’ve read on the subject. It even allows you to fire off the loops and create your own version.

Music for Airports is still one of my favourite albums. But there has been such a deluge of imitators (guilty) since that I really wish I could go back & hear it as it sounded to me in 1978. When there was almost nothing else like it. When, in the middle of ‘new wave’ it sounded revolutionary.
Brian Eno - Ambient 1 - Music For Airports
Alright, here it is, again, and it’s called…
Ambient 1 : Music for Airports.
Excellent accompaniment to the Ferrante book.
