Exploring abandoned Portugal. Loads more if people are interested and want a break from you-know-what.

Photographed for the first time! https://www.esquiremag.ph/long-reads/features/photos-philippine-dwarf-kingfisher-a00293-20200313?fbclid=IwAR2bR54asuahwJEcQDmN_gpvy8iyTPRn6o51U_ePcMEU1mVa4i1rwE80Ies

Inevitable really... I'll start the ball rolling Book: The Masque of the Red Death Film: Variola Vera; 80s Yugoslav film about a smallpox outbreak in a hospital. Kina plays out like a zombie film in one sense.

How will you be marking it?

This Friday we are travelling to the beautiful (I'm told) city of Porto to spin some records in the legendary club of Passos Manuel with the masters of East Side Radio, Tiago and Andre (collectively known as the unstoppable Funkamente)...

My girlfriend keeps playing this guy in the car; I like the name - which is presumably an homage to the Finnish erotic drawings guy - and I like the music which is kinda weird and wonky shuffling stuff with strange noises drifting unexpectedly in and out that doesn't sound like much else in...

Didn't see anything about this here. But I'm sad to see the back of the crazy long-fingernailed Brazilian outsider horror auteur. Considered the maker of Brazil's first horror film (films even I guess) he went from DIY camp to becoming a household name in his homeland and along the way created a...

I need some help on the above. Something that is very easy for the majority of you I'm sure but is almost completely new to me so bear with me if I'm slow. Basically the issue is that when I (in fact we) DJ we have always just used vinyl. Really the most simple set up of two turntables plugged...

Yesterday we finished watching the second series of this programme. For those who don't know it's about the power struggle to take over a media empire run by tyrannical philistine Logan Roy who appears close to death. Of course he is based on Rupert Murdoch (although his Australian origins are...

Slightly different show this time, kinda beatless in the main. Liza said she wanted it like that and I overslept and had to grab records quickly on the way to the radio station... you end up with a load of library bits and bobs, some Dick Hyman, a guy playing a saw etc

I guess no-one here is a fan of any of the above. I kinda feel a connection to this scene I guess cos a lot of the FWF guys used to sleep on my couch back in London for years. Gonna see 'em play in Lisbon tonight anyhow... should be good/messy. At the moment Sworn Virgins are a lot of fun I think

In the thread about Roth there was a mention of how the novel has lost its way... someone said that they have the impression that there are loads of academic books which are almost in-jokes, filled with literary references and hard for anyone to follow that isn't part of a very specific...

Sorry to break the embargo... are we just ignoring it?

A few years ago we had an unbelievable pig of a journey to Russia which involved missed planes, missed connections, horrible Spaniards, days without sleep, going to three extra countries and ended up (all in all) taking two weeks instead of about fifteen hours. I thought that it would never be...

Do you do it? Or have you ever done it? Why/why not? What did you bet on, how much did you risk, have you ever had a massive win or loss? Does it make sport more exciting? etc etc

I kept reading all this stuff about this new wave or super realistic veggie burgers. I even read the head of some kind of meat promotion board in the US saying "We're in trouble here boys" (or words to that effect) which made me sit up and take notice. I understand that Tesco has some that are...

In that other thread I noticed Craner said that he had watched all of the Hitchcock films except for the silent ones, I kinda baulked at Howard Hawks cos he had so many silent films... are they behind the time barrier thing or is it just prejudice or what? When I do watch the classics I enjoy...

Recently my girlfriend and I watched all (ok, not quite all, but most) of Polanski's back catalogue. Most of them I'd seen before of course but some such as Pirates and What? and some of the later ones I'd never seen. But watching them over the course of a couple of weeks was quite a rewarding...

Been invited to DJ at an outdoor party in the Algarve on the 24th, seems we'll play the last two or three hours until six am so should be a lot of fun if anyone here happens to be near Faro at that time... which seems unlikely I have to admit.
