To celebrate Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow turning 50 I visited Imperial War Museum to see the V-2 rocket. It is cut away to show fuel tanks and engine. I didn't realise it was so big until seeing it up close #gravitysrainbow #ElephantandCastle #SouthLondon

#OTD in 2016, Leonard Cohen passed away. There is a wonderful mural of him in Montreal’s Ville-Marie neighbourhood that I saw in person in 2025. youtu.be/7-0lV5qs1Qw?si=WH04…

Listening again to Friday I'm in Love by Crawley's finest, The Cure. Robert Smith, singer and song's primary writer, described it as "throw your hands in the air, let's get happy kind of record" youtube.com/watch?v=mGgMZpGY………………… #TheCure #FridayImInLove #Crawley #WestSussex UK
Current listening: Golden Brown (1982) by English rock band the Stranglers, from the band's sixth album La Folie (1981). The performance scenes were filmed in the Leighton House Museum in Holland Park, London youtube.com/watch?v=z-GUjA67… #thestranglers #goldenbrown #London

I was pleased to see that Get Carter was on tonight, but then checked the listings and saw that it was the mediocre 2000 remake with Stallone, not the far superior 1971 original with Michael Caine as the brutal Jack Carter. #MichaelCaine

3 November 1954. Adam Ant (Stuart Leslie Goddard) was born in London. He gained popularity in the early 1980s as lead singer of Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist. He had 10 UK Top 40 singles with his group had 7 UK solo Top 40 hits.
Charles Bronson was born on this day in 1921. I like many of his films, including Death Wish 3 (1985). Some scenes filmed in the old Lambeth Hospital in Elephant and Castle. It's fun to see what is supposed to be New York but is South London. #SouthLondon #CharlesBronson #BOTD

“Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)” was written, produced and arranged by Kate Bush for her 1985 album Hounds of Love. Bush originally wanted to call it “A Deal with God,” but her record company worried that the religious wording could limit the song's chances on radio and television, so the title was changed for its original release.
Released in August 1985, “Running Up That Hill” reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and became one of Bush's defining songs. Her performance on Top of the Pops helped give the song an equally memorable visual identity. Decades later, its use in the fourth season of Stranger Things triggered an extraordinary resurgence: in 2022 the song returned to the UK chart and reached No. 1, 37 years after its original release, setting several Official Charts records along the way.
Trystero Muted Posthorn symbol in the wild. "Much like the symbol in the book, the graffiti (both the highbrow and less scholarly inclined variants) sings from trash cans, light poles, sidewalks and signs, on and off campus" insidehighered.com/news/2007… #mutedposthorn #Trystero (2007)
