Hey BBC4, can you stop making documentaries about record labels please.
Too much Paul Morley and not enough Paul Limbourg.

Island, Stiff, Factory, Rough Trade
Not many people left to interview who knew the Limbourg Bros though. Not much live footage either I'd guess.
BTW Tubbs did you watch Desperate Romantics this summer? -

I missed it. Not deliberately, looked like good fun.Comment

I've only seen episode one so far. It's quite jolly, a bit hectic — no one stands still to talk, they're constantly rushing about West Wing style. The crippling repressed Ruskin is hilarious, and I was glad to see the writers' seem to share my opinion of Holman-Hunt.Comment

I heard him described recently as the second greatest English colourist.
He was never going to fit into a sexy drama, was he?Comment

Well he loses his virginity in episode one so who knows. The personalities of all three of the principals are spectacularly over-egged. Hunt is played as a kind of deranged muscular Christian. Rossetti as a smirking lech and Millais a mewling schoolboy.
Who was top of the English colourist charts? If it wasn't Samuel Palmer then their judgment is questionable to say the least.Comment

They didn't say.
Sickert's quite good. Hunt is over reliant on purple.Comment

I haven't seen any of the aforementioned documentaries, but I never tire of reading about Tony Wilson and the anarchic Factory records.
Just found out recently that when he died in 2007 his coffin was allocated a Factory catalogue number in keeping with all the company's other releases. The man was a legend!Comment
