As the world is burning, big wheels are turning. The bigger the wheel, the bigger the turn, the bigger the crash, the faster the burn.

#OnThisDay 1975: The Rocky Horror Picture Show was originally released in UK. Shortly before it’s release, Film Week caught up with Richard O'Brien, Tim Curry and director Jim Sharman who explained the process behind creating their “1970s version of The Wizard Of Oz.”

Word of the Day is ‘copemate’ (16th century): the friend in life who gets you through.

It’s one of the 365 entries in my almanac Words for Life, a collection of my favourite words and etymologies to give (I hope) each day a boost.

“Malcolm was birthed through water and he transitioned through water. He departed as he arrived, through water. This was his time. His mission on earth had been completed.”

#OnThisDay 1977: Thanks for the Memory - The Viewer's View asked people what they thought about television.
This woman was likely approached for a snappy vox pop, but ended up delivering something closer to a dramatic monologue.

Word of the day is ‘forwallowed’ (15th century): extremely weary from tossing and turning all night.

Every time I see Jarvis Cocker it reminds me of the time he exposed his bum to Michael Jackson at the BRITS, got arrested by MJ's henchmen so Bob Mortimer had to dust off his legal skills to get him released. By far my favourite British pop culture story ever

👩‍🍼Why do so many words for mother begin with M?
🍌Why do kids call bananas "nanas" and computers "puters?"

The fascinating answers to both these questions are in my NEW VIDEO: https://t.co/OMydENvmPR

Please share with anyone you know who has/was a baby.

Good Vibrations is a symphony.

This clip of Brian Wilson and The Wrecking Crew recording the track is outer worldly.

Proof that all he needed were just musicians to play his material.

He is The Beach Boys.

[I found this on Youtube… @doule_tom]

Beautiful clip of Brian Wilson and George Martin discussing ��God Only Knows’. I love Brian’s enthusiasm when he thinks George is making the song better. ‘I can’t believe this is happening!’

Brian Wilson, the legendary frontman and co-founder of The Beach Boys, has died at the age of 82.

Back in 1976, he spoke with Bob Harris about making Pets Sounds and the Fire Tapes with Bob Harris.

Originally broadcast on The Old Grey Whistle Test, 16 November 1976.

1 car crash and 2 of the most difficult but greatest months of my life.

I’m an emotional mess tonight but I just want to say, no matter how dark a place you are in. It can and WILL get better. 2 years ago I was in the darkest place in my life, 2 years later we have made history.

Thank you to everyone who believed in me. I love you all very much. I’ll do a post when I’m able to process what’s just happened. MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS ❤️

Quick thread of lost and forgotten words that we need to bring back:

“Overmorrow,” the day after tomorrow, and “yesterneve,” yesterday evening.

“Nodcrafty”: to nod along sagely when someone is talking, despite not having a clue what they’re banging on about.
