What a woman, what a band.
That was in my top 3 gig experiences of all time (the other two being the Manic Street Preachers on the Holy Bible tour at Leicester Uni, and Spiritualized at Brookes Uni around about ’01). I had waited so long to see them live, and they didn’t disappoint.
Via Ben Hammersley comes this rather fantastic mashup of T.S. Eliot reading his own “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and Portishead’s “Sour Times” (and as Ben notes, I had no idea Eliot had recorded any of his own work).
This gives me an excuse to share one of my favourite Eliot quotes:
Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
Too true.

What do you do when your dearest wakes from a nightmare and you can’t be there to comfort them? Help them imagine a world where they couldn’t possibly come to any harm…
And right by the door, standing guard, is Kim Gordon. And sweetheart, nothing is coming through that door, because nobody wants to fuck with Kim Gordon.
