"It’s a two-disc of live performances. For the most part, I was never really a fan of live music on records, but this one takes all the Talking Heads songs and it totally improves them. You feel the beat more. It’s a solid buy. If you could just come up on that, the two discs are amazing. It’s almost 40 songs. Every single one of them is really rad. A lot of my music that I like puts energy in your body or makes you want to dance or break something or just go mosh or jump around. This is one of those ones that you can put on in the summertime and next thing you know, you’re dancing by the pool."

"Often, when I read filmmakers’ lists (including mine), I am frustrated by the absence of their contemporaries. The present is always the hardest to read, and no one will argue if you focus on masters of the past instead. But here are a few names, filmmakers whose work I have been lucky to follow since their beginnings; we’ve crossed paths, more or less frequently, but I have admired them constantly, also because they have been an inspiration. I feel I have had a dialogue with them, or with their films, and it is reflected in my own work. Edward Yang is gone, I miss him a lot, he invented modern Chinese cinema alongside Hou Hsiao-hsien, he was my friend."

Syvester McCoy (1 more)
Richard Briers
Watched last night not perfect story owes a lot to the novel high - rise by J G Ballard and it shows with its characters and setting syvester McCoy in only his second story still fining his way but his performance here is better than the previous story and then there's Richard Briers the main guest star who at the time was known the good life really gets to play against type as the villain of the story could have done without the haming it up at the end also could have done without Bonnie Langfords screaming sometimes it can get annoying. The story looks so good in HD as well maybe I will actually watch the movie high rise sometime

Track

"This album was mixed by Kevin Shirley and I think he did an awesome job because you can hear John Bonham doing more than he did on recordings. I think that’s probably because of the way the songs were written, because after being on the road they’d developed the songs a bit and a lot of the things you listen out for, like the subtleties on the record, they exaggerate them and that goes from the drums right up to the singing. This is just one of those recordings where you can hear them exaggerating the things that people love about these songs and how they grew on the night into some kind of monster and the material went with it."

"Sometimes when the AirPods don't block everything out, or your on a plane, you really just want to shut the world off, I go with the Beats they keep it a little bit quiter. I got them without the cord, so I can just put them on, either just knock out on the plane, or just completely chill and relax. I actually do sometimes look forward to it, when I can just check out, you kinda live a life with a lot of craziness sometimes and those moments when you get to just relax and be in your own world are becoming more few and far between, so you learn to value that time, and these are a big part of that."
