    The film which has not left me is Aftersun. Charlotte Well’s feature debut. When I first saw it, I woke the next morning realising what it was I had seen. I watched it again. I’ve seen it 5 times now and its impact has not diminished. I think it’s the closest a film maker has come to making a film that hits you like a great song. It felt like a new way of storytelling with pictures. It’s a film where nothing happens yet everything happens.

    Was just talking to Adam Buxton about this. He wrote a pastiche of half a world away for the Adam and joe show Star Wars figure version of The Royle Family.

    Hello Mumstheword8. Welcome to the messageboard. 60’s seem to be the new 40’s by the looks of it. I don’t know if I’ll ever be an early riser. I mostly write at night when the airwaves are not clogged. Anyways welcome welcome welcome

    in reply to: What’s your fav dessert🍰 #2446
    Fran

    There is a very simple dessert which is from a restaurant in London called The Ivy. It’s very simple. Get some white chocolate (4 bars) and melt it in a Pyrex bowl over a pan of boiling water, add double (whipping cream) put a good fistful of frozen berries into a wide bowl. Pour the hot sauce over.

    The cover of Hijera by Joni is one that always floats to the top of my memory. It looks like a double exposure. The cover of 12 Memories are 4 double exposures. For anyone who doesn’t know what that is, it’s when the photographer takes a photograph, remembers where the subject is in the composition, rolls the film back into the spool, carries on until they see an image they think will fit within the first one, then reloads the roll of film, winds it to the location of the first phot and then takes the second image on top of the first. In the case of 12 Memories, Anton took the portrait of me, took maybe 11, then rolled the film back and took the second shot over the top of the portrait. He would only know if it worked in the dark room as he was using a Hasselblad.

    Hey The Fan Who. Unfortunately we couldn’t reschedule the show so it will have to be the next US tour. I can count on one hand the times we have had to cancel a show. Sorry you travelled so far for nothing. It’s a massive pain in the arse for all concerned. We were assured ticket holders would be reimbursed. Did that happen?

    That was the night someone threw their knickers on the stage. The one and only time that’s happened haha… Yeah the guy was trying to hawk it in the horseshoe bar for £150. So glad I got it back. I was playing it a couple of days ago.
