Best closing track on an album
at 03:27 10 Nov 2017

For unrestrained nostalgia



Also, in tandem with Burning down the house, must be one of the best set of album 'bookends'.

Thinly-veiled pro-Brexit propaganda.

Fantastically shot, mind.

It's Doctor Who not Nurse Who innit

EDIT: although obviously I would watch a show about a time travelling, alien annihilating Florence Nightingale. That would be awesome.

I think there is a very good argument supported by a wealth of data from sociological and psychological studies into the nature of gender in favour of that, yes.

Although of course it would require quite a cultural shift.

Personally I can't see what would be confusing about allowing the child the discover and determine who they are for themselves outside of the often clumsy and restrictive (and arguably artificial) gender binary.

Children don't tend to establish a sense of gender identity before the age of three according to the psychological consensus anyway.

Most overrated film of all time
at 09:41 13 Jun 2017

Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now (not even the best Heart of Darkness adaptation released in 1979), La Dolce Vita.

Plus, though it goes without saying, every Tarantino film of this century.

Meh, it depends which circles you move in.

In my liberal middle class metropolitan university bubble, the election has been all we've been talking about for the last couple of weeks.

What's my reward?

Other than the muso sense of self-satisfaction, obviously.

It's bizarre and puerile, but hardly objectionable. Particularly compared to pretty much everything else he's done in the last month or so.

EDIT: now this, on the other hand...
