Excellent review of the best cocteau twins album in pitchfork today Damn good stuff

Chauvet was a bombshell. It is Aurignacian, and its earliest paintings are at least thirty-two thousand years old, yet they are just as sophisticated as much later compositions. What emerged with that revelation was an image of Paleolithic artists transmitting their techniques from generation to...

one of the most boring cinema experiences I've had probably. and I went to the 4D version with moving seats and fog and water in your face and stuff
