I shouldn’t still be surprised that there are people who will watch hours of a TV show they claim to be boring, and awful, just to dump on others enjoyment of that show.

Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure: Otway the Movie, 2012 - ★★★½

Watched on Tuesday October 4, 2022.

Film log: Watched Rock and Roll’s Greatest Failure: Otway the Movie ★★★1/2

John Otway was/is the personification of punk’s DIY spirit. This fan-funded documentary was a lot of fun but it could have done with a few more critical voices. 🎥

Roger Waters is embarking on “his first ever farewell tour” according to an ad on the radio. If this goes well I presume there will be another “farewell tour”.

The Marillion show was rescheduled to the following night but at a different venue. This was my view of the stage and the reason I have a sore neck today. It was a great show though. The usual mix of high emotion and laughter from live Marillion. I loved it. Setlist. 🎵

I expected it but next Monday’s Marillion show in Glasgow has been cancelled. It’s disappointing but understandable. I could have done with the uplift after such a stressful summer. New date to come. Marillion ‘The Leavers: V. One Tonight-Live At The Royal Albert Hall 🎶

The share menu in iOS is a delight. You never know what you’re going to get. I do know that the app I need is never there no matter how many times I’ve added it in the past.

WFMU: Dance With Me, Stanley with Stashu: Playlist from September 2, 2022:

Dance With Me, Stanley with Stashu

I love the joyful chaos of DJ Stashu on WFMU. She brightens up Friday nights.

Trigger warning for polka music. 🎵

Watched Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power. I really enjoyed it. The first episode was a bit exposition-y but things really pick up steam in the second. I always say you can’t go wrong with the addition of dwarves. Looking forward to the next episode. 📺

Wonderful BBC Proms concert on TV tonight. Public Service Broadcasting and the BBC Symphony Orchestra performed their tribute to the BBC centenary. The ending was powerful. A moving reminder that nothing lasts forever but also a symbol of what we’d lose if the BBC disappeared. 🎵

I’ve got two live shows coming up this month. Marillion and Steve Hackett. The last two shows I attended were to see… Marillion and Steve Hackett. I. know what I like as someone once sang. 🎵

I’ve been trying to clear out a lot of old paper stuff and I just found these old Apple coupons. You needed them to get an upgrade to OS X 10.1. I converted to Mac just as OS 9 was switching over to the new OS X so things were confusing. These seem like historical documents now.
