Once upon a weekend morning, before we opened, shelving and sorting Many a quaint and curious novel and thriller and lore-- While we readied, neatly stacking, suddenly there came a quacking, And then someone gently flapping, flapping at the library door.

"'Tis some waterfowl!" we uttered, "Quacking at the library door! We're not open yet." And off they soared.

We're both in it. We're obsessed with each other.

was telling a younger coworker about my love for jack lemmon. she listened to me wax poetic about how he moves like a marionette, how he has a delightfully mischievous smile, how he doesn't have to say anything to steal a scene and only after i pulled out a photo of him in Some Like it Hot did she turn to me to clarify "the CNN guy?"

my coworker texted me this evening telling me there's a whole argument going down on reddit re: a leaked photo from the Beatles biopic of John wearing a yarmulke and the people behind the film taking liberties with his character. she asked me what the truth was. i immediately gave her a citation from George Martin about how all the Beatles wore yarmulkes to Brian's funeral. she said "i knew you would know" and i felt seen

I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

this week’s mood board

Not to get too in my feelings about this but ... if you follow Paul's work at the minute, you can sense a desire from him to set the record straight by pushing his own perspective on his life and legacy whilst he still can. Paul's view is at the centre of his current projects. He is the driving creative force of his new film, he is the photographer in Eye of the Storm and Man on the Run is taken directly from his family archival footage. What's so striking with this in mind is John's presence that permeates all of this work, not as a former creative partner and friend but specifically as a great love. John is the inspiration for protagonist in his new film, beautiful pictures of John take center stage in Eye of the Storm and John is his duet partner in his set list, even if only via a screen. Even Man on the Run, ostensibly a narrative of Paul's post-Beatles life, is according to reviewers a tribute both to his love for John and his love for Linda.

Paul is not a young man, in fact he is an old man, old in a way John never got to be. As much as we don't want him to be (and as convinced I am that he will make 100), he is near the end of his race and by his projects, he knows it. What a beautiful thing then that one of his key statements on his life, what he wants to world to know him and remember him for, is his love for John; a love that he has carried with him like marble through a stone. In the work of his twilight years Paul attempts no separation or deviation. Where there is Paul there is John. Where there is love, there is John.

Inexplicably, implausibly, in defiance of death and the forced parting of the long years, Lennon and McCartney will finish the race together. Not from necessity, not from circumstance, but because the strength and depth of Paul's love simply allows for nothing else.

Hello again, just letting you know that mp3 for Julian Barratt hosting the Sunday Service worked fine. Thank you for sharing it, I just couldn't find it anywhere and when I was googling for it, your Tumblr post was the only lead that came up. It's strange to be saying this in the Year of Our Lord 2025, but I'm really only just getting into The Mighty Boosh. I've always been aware of them, but there was just so much stuff to be into as far as comedy goes that they slipped through the cracks for me. For some reason it just hit me this month, after 20 years, that I never got around to watching The Mighty Boosh. I'm half way through series 2 and I'm really enjoying it. You never know what you're going to get, there's nothing like it. Especially now they're not in the zoo, all bets are off and each episode is just a different fantasy-adventure with delicious music satire (Kraftwerk Orange!).

I’m so glad the download link worked! Happy to connect new Boosh fans with the ancient texts.

Boosh opened up a whole world of surreal comedy for me, but I’ve always especially appreciated how much love and heart went into it as well. I’m a bit disillusioned with certain aspects now, and there are some episodes I can’t rewatch anymore, but I do think it remains very funny and full of heart. It’s definitely a show that couldn’t and wouldn’t exist in 2025.

Series 2 was great, series 3 made me sad. I will always love season 1 the most - when Vince still looked up to Howard and Howard wasn’t a complete caricature of himself.

The original radio show is fantastic, by the way, and can still make me cry laugh - definitely give it a listen if you haven’t already!

Julian Barratt, one half of the phenomenally successful Mighty Boosh sits in for Jarvis Cocker, bringing his love of eclectic tunes to the show. With a love of music that ranges from Scott Walker to the Silver Apples, this is a rare chance to share Julian's record collection during the Sunday Service. Julian began his career winning the BBC New Comedy Award in 1995. Alongside Noel Fielding, he created The Mighty Boosh, originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 before three successful series on BBC TV.

hey guys I never saw this on youtube or on tumblr so thought you might want to hear this!!! My friend sent this to me and it’s a Godsend. Its two beautiful hours of Julian Barratt taking over for Jarvis Cocker (sometime in 2011) and playing some of his favorite songs. It’s amazing and you must listen to it. He calls himself Julio Barraccio at one point. Please.

@julianbarratt calling you out to listen to this

[nipsynips]

hi everyone in the future reading this - the link i shared in 2017 was not owned by me and is no longer public. i was told this full mp3 is not available elsewhere, so i've uploaded it onto mediafire for you all. if anyone runs into any issues with this link, please let me know - I will happily send you another link or use a platform of your choice to share it.

[nipsynips]

Hello, some years ago you posted a link to a Google Drive with an mp3 of Julian Barratt hosting Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service radio show in 2011. That's not available anywhere else publicly, and the Google Drive you linked is actually restricted access. Could you please post that mp3 on a public link like SwissTransfer or WeTransfer or MediaFire or whatever so we can actually download it? You'd be doing God's work. There are clumps of Sunday Service available on Internet Archive but it frustratingly stops two weeks before Julian's episode!

hello friend - so sorry I'm a few days late to this. I had no idea this file was not available online! the link I posted a few years back was owned by someone I no longer speak to or associate with, so I'm sorry their link is no longer public. that being said, I luckily move computers very infrequently, and I still have the audio downloaded. I uploaded it onto mediafire for you and can make a new post for it - but here it is. Please let me know if this works!
