Just time for my occasional series "ladies who love accordions!"

Squeezy does it...
"They said it couldn't be done!"

I'm sorry, I'll read that again...

"They said it shouldn't be done!"
Actually that's very good for your posture...
I have been to Paris and I can confirm it looks like this. Everywhere. Even in La Dëfence. Everywhere. Like this.
I know which one is going to start a fight first...
Apparently this is the French version of Mr. Ben.
It's on the Blockchain...
After nine martinis even a dropped spoon sounds romantic...
This is awful. Go-Go should be hyphenated!
Basque country music...
No seriously, all of Paris looks like this. All of it. Even McDonalds You know what they call a Big Mac in Paris? Nobody does, because it's full of people playing accordions and smoking. All of it.
"I wish I lived in Paris..."
"So nobody thought to bring chairs..."
What kind of party did you have in mind Allan?
More ladies who love accordions another time...
By popular request here's a link to the full album on YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Don't thank me. It's what I do...

Over the years a number of people have asked me if I have a favourite pulp film. Well I do. It's this one.

This is the story of Alphaville... Image
Alphaville: une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (1965) was Jean-Luc Godard’s ninth feature film. A heady mix of spy noir, science fiction and the Nouvelle Vague at its heart is a poetic conflict between a hard-boiled Lemmy Caution and a supercomputer’s brave new world. Image
British writer Peter Cheyney had created the fictitious American investigator Lemmy Caution in 1936. As well as appearing in 10 novels Caution featured in over a dozen post-war French films, mostly played by singer Eddie Constantine whom Godard was keen to work with. Image

Not all of them will have a name badge like Beyoncé...
Celebrity #1: small hands...
Celebrity #2: don't poke her face...

In the 1970s a fascinating engineering battle took place between America and Japan for control of the future. The prize was the world we live in now. And one of the key battles took place on your wrist.

This is the story of the digital watch... #FridayFeeling
'Digital' is a magical marketing word. Like 'laser' or 'turbo' it suggests progress, mastery and the future. People like those ideas. They like them enough to spend a lot of money on products that have them, especially if they can be a first adopter.
And so it was with the wristwatch. Electronic quartz watches were already a thing by the 1960s: an analogue movement driven by a quartz crystal resonator, powered by a small button battery.

But one American company was setting out on a new timekeeping odyssey...

44 years ago today, the BBC aired its latest science fiction series. Dark, violent and dystopian it pitted a group of criminals against a neo-fascist Federation in a doomed battle for survival and freedom.

This is the story of #Blakes7...
Blakes 7 (no apostrophe) was unique. Created by Terry Nation, it was more George Orwell than George Lucas. Story arcs were long, morals were hazy, lead characters were gruesomely tortured or killed off. Cynicism, ruthlessness and paranoia were always present.
Blakes 7 tells the story of political dissident Roj Blake. Brainwashed and used as bait to trap other dissidents he is then tried on false charges and deported to die on a penal colony.
