“It’s Thursday … we have steak on Thursday,”. RIP ‘Shirley Valentine’ ❤️ - what a loss … Pauline Collins was one of the most delightful of actresses and will be forever Shirley V … one of my all time favourite films 💕

Before Madchester blew the roof off the world, Manchester was already plugged into the rap, electro and breakdance era tuned into New York, tuned into the pioneers, tuned into the future before anyone knew what was coming. And Roxanne Shanté —that voice, that attitude, that fire

Yung Lean and GENER8ION stole the show at the VMAs last night with their performance of the duo’s “STORM,” recreating the stunning music video directed by @ROMAIN_GAVRAS and choreographed by Damien Jalet that went viral earlier this year. Lean walked onstage in character from the video and smashed a Moonman award. He then joined five rows of dancers clad in private school uniforms, who moved in mesmerizing unison while Lean stood in the center eating ice cream. As the performance ended, Lean walked up to the lens and spat the rest of his cone into the camera. Perfection. “STORM” was nominated for four awards last night, including Video of the Year, Best Longform Video, Best Direction (Romain Gavras), and Best Choreography (Damien Jalet).

Robert Palmer died in the early hours of the morning on this day in 2003 at age 54 from a heart attack while on a short break in Paris with his partner, Mary Ambrose. In my opinion, this is his greatest work.

48 years ago today, Blondie released 'Parallel Lines.' With “Heart of Glass,” “Hanging on the Telephone” and “One Way or Another,” it became the album that sent the band into the mainstream.
