Today I visited the UK AIDS quilt, on display in Birmingham as part of the Commonwealth Games. A very emotional experience.
If you’re in Birmingham, you can book a slot to see it until 8th August:

The #RecordOfTheWeek is the promotional release of "Let's Go Swimming" from Arthur Russell's 1986 album "World of Echo."
