The whole world is about three drinks behind. But I'm happy to share ill thought out opinions regardless.

Great work from Donovan (Happy birthday Donovan!🎂) and Steve above & beyond for over 1hr retrieving car/house keys a lady accidentally dropped down the drain this afternoon! Shows community spirit & the best of people is still alive and well in Ealing!

The Warriors (1979)
The Warriors, a modern day retelling of the Greek story Anabasis from 401 B.C, is a genre hopping oddity. Hated by critics upon release it soon gained cult status during midnight screenings and is now considered a classic.
'Can you dig it?'

[Tony Hancock Appreciation Society @TonyHancockAS]

Seventy Years ago #OTD 2 November 1954 the now familiar theme tune to Hancock's Half Hour first rang out on the Light Programme. Superb performances, sublime writing, groundbreaking comedy, still broadcast every week.

[Blue Note Records @bluenoterecords]

Recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder was born 100 years ago #OTD in 1924! RVG was an optometrist but his true passion was sound & jazz. In 1953, he began recording Blue Note sessions in his parents' living room in Hackensack, NJ later building his own studio in Englewood Cliffs…

[Mark Sutton 🎷 @3rdstreetjazz]

🎺 Freddie Hubbard's "First Light" (1971) burns bright with fierce innovation! His trumpet soars over lush strings while #RonCarter, #HerbieHancock, #GeorgeBenson & #JackDeJohnette groove deep. Pure jazz magic that changed the game.

On this day in 1959, the Dave Brubeck Quartet released their single “Take Five”!

“Two years later it became a surprise hit and the biggest-selling jazz single ever. Revived since in numerous movie and television soundtracks, the piece still receives significant radio airplay. The single was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1996.”

[Gerry Anderson @GerryAndersonTV]

UFO was first broadcast in the UK #OTD in 1970!

67 years ago today, John Coltrane recorded "Blue Train"

"Blue Train" marks a defining moment in jazz, capturing Coltrane's ascent into his legendary status...

But what makes this album a timeless jazz masterpiece?

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

348 Labour MPs earning £91,346 a year (many of whom get their heating costs in their second homes paid by taxpayers) voted in parliament to take away the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners. Their conceit, nefariousness and hypocritical entitlement is disgraceful.

[Bryan Ferry @bryanferry]

Bryan Ferry's first new music in 10 years, "Star" is a collaboration with artist and writer Amelia Barratt, based on a demo from @nineinchnails's Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. The video is filmed by Bryan Ferry and James Garzke. Watch now https://t.co/W0IJr6kznW
