8mm cine of Paddington station in 1962
Not sure where the horridly cheesey Pizza Express in-house pianist backing track comes from. Watch it on mute, much nicer. I’d like to point out that I don’t often frequent British Railways dot TV, I have no fondness for trains other than 8mm cine film taken of them from in 1962.

The Tallest Man On Earth — Love Is All
This is actually better than the album version. Love Is All are also an awesome band as tenuous musical coincidences go. Not sure how I feel about the shirt, looks like it should be worn by an ageing barmaid who thinks that her fortnightly line dancing classes are an excuse to dress like a cowboy 24/7. Everyone thinks she’s pathetic, but she doesn’t give a fuck because she’s got her Daisy Dukes cut offs and a saggy old arse that hangs all the way out of them. You go girl.
Clams Casino — Gorilla
This is more or less exactly the mood I’m in. Um.. Ambivilenticious. Which isn’t a word. But don’t worry I’m just revitalising the language according to Sarah Churchwell. A weird instrumental music video and link to a CiS article. How I spoil you… Sorry.
EMA — California
Just yes, a million billion times yes. Pity her show in London is sold out. Check out Grey Ship too. Fucking amazing.This is excellent dancing
Reminds me of a certain, bushy haired landscape architect I know. Except far less sexual.
Barack Obama being cool
I knew he was still cool.
Andrew Lansley on The Lancet
He laughs at the opinions of the Lancet but listens to opinions of Mars? That’s some health minister.
John Cale — Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
Why can’t things like this happen anymore?
Lord Huron — The Stranger
Exactly what I needed after today. Now for a chorizo and butter bean stew and 20 pages of something easy on the brain.

Stewart Lee — On Top Gear
After the recent Mexico comments debacle, a lot of people had a lot to say about Top Gear’s take on “comedy” (I’ve put comedy in quotation marks there to further undermine the lads’ notion of comedy — take that you bell-ends).
They needn’t have bothered — Stewart Lee nailed it ages ago.
Zoo Kid — Out Getting Ribs
Okay, so he’s an, ahem, Brit Schooler, (boo hiss — you’re ruining all the music) but nevertheless this song is fucking awesome. If everyone the Brit-school produced was this interesting I don’t think anyone would mind. But they’re not, they’re like this and this and this and this and this… In other, more felicitous words, they’re shit.
Yes and I’m including Jessie J — I know she’s meant to be this year’s big thing, but I think she’s painfully contrived and musically vacuous.
