Robert Greene was right when he said:

“Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power.”

[The Doors @TheDoors]

In July 1968, The Doors released WAITING FOR THE SUN.

Home to tracks like “Hello, I Love You” and “The Unknown Soldier,” the album demonstrated The Doors' growing range as songwriters and musicians.

Matthew McConaughey says he accepted True Detective in 12 seconds because he stopped caring what size screen it was on

"That script comes along. I'm turning the pages and I cannot wait to see what comes outta this character Rustin Cohle's mouth, every single page. It was just hot sh*t. And the identity was so clear"

"I then go, there's that question, it's on TV, what are you doing going on TV? I remember calling my agent Jim Toth, and I was like, this question is something we should raise"

"And he goes, 'All right, why do you go after all...' I go, 'Man, I want a great role and I want it being a great story. I want great character. I wanna be in a great story'"

"And he goes, 'You hear what you said?' I said, 'Yep, and I didn't say a damn thing about what size screen it's on, let's go'"

"And we'd made the decision in 12 seconds"

Up next we go back 35 years with a don who has been a big name in my home city's scene:

This is @JayWearden @ The Banshee, Manchester 1991

There's a couple sets of Jay from there and unfortunately this is the one I couldn't find the tracklist for. Proper selection of old skool bangers.

Reminder that all mixes uploaded here today go on my Kofi for download tonight.

Jonathan Banks spent decades as a background tough guy before Breaking Bad finally showed what he could do. Mike Ehrmantraut is all restraint and buried pain. One of the most underrated actors of his generation

AT LAST THE 1948 SHOW (1967)

The Wicker Man (1973)

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

“Final Grades” from The Wire (2006) is the episode that lays the show’s entire worldview bare. Bodie finally realizes the game was never built for people like him to win, and that quiet acceptance makes his arc one of the most tragic in television.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

I'm in love with this sentence:

“Your brain can learn anything if you practice it daily.”

Bittersweet, Terry Hall brings Amy Winehouse on stage with The Specials for *You're Wondering Now* and *Ghost Town* V Festival, 2009. Two legends gone too soon.

DR. STRANGELOVE (1964)

Of course the mad genius Sellers, of course the entire Cast - but one of my favourite performances of all time is GEORGE C. SCOTT’s in this.

Off the charts genius, Shakespearean in scale & complexity, insanely hilarious, dark as fuck.

[Poetic Outlaws @OutlawsPoetic]

"Many people feel they are powerless to do anything effective with their lives. It takes courage to break out of the settled mold, but most find conformity more comfortable. This is why the opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it's conformity."

Next in steps The Rider, 32 years ago:

This is @GROOVERIDERDJ @ The Pleasuredome Second Birthday, Eastgate Leisure Centre, Skegness 16.04.94

Primarily a jungle DJ by this point, he knew his audience. This is mainly hardcore with some jungle chucked in. The tape skips onto side 2 - this is how the tape was sold, not a rip problem! Tracklist in comments.
