As the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness draws in, we poke the embers of this week’s rock and roll bonfire and rake out the following chestnuts …
… Maggie Smith on ‘70s chat shows.
… when Radiohead meets Shakespeare.
… the strange, circuitous and downright disgraceful launch of Francis Ford Coppola’s majestically bonkers Megalopolis.
… Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter: the slow ascent of two ‘overnight sensations’.
… is it big events anymore or just a low-level hum of distraction?
… Bryan Ferry as an interpreter: why we love his clubby renditions of Dylan, Amy, Frank, Elvis, Broadway ballads and old sea shanties.
… Movies In Waiting no 97: Butlin’s, skiffle, Hamburg and Ian Hunter’s 26-year clamber to the top.
... can any film still have instant world impact?
… the unsettling structure of the Graham Norton show.
… Simon Raymonde’s dad’s oceanic jazz adventure, 1949.
… plus birthday guest Matthew North sees Wayne Rooney doing Ring Of Fire at a Plymouth open mic night.
