Dr Who: The Highlanders
I watched what little remains of this serial on 3 January 2023 and was made available on the Lost in Time DVD. There’s a few short violent clips, cut because of Australian censorship. There’s so little, all from episode one, it’s impossible to work out what’s going on. Fortunately, the soundtrack exists, and photos… and it was novelised by Gerry Davis in 1984.
The serial was the first to be wiped from the BBC archives, which occurred in 1967.
The story takes place near where I currently live, although it was filmed at the other end of Great Britain. It introduces Jamie McCrimmon, a piper on the Jacobite side of the bloody battle on Culloden moor that took place in April 1746. It does what Dr Who does well: show that both sides of conflict are rarely uniform in opinion and action. No one side is ever wholly "good" or "evil".
The serial is the last historical story before Black Orchid.
Jamie joined the TARDIS crew and would remain with the Doctor until… well, I’ll get to that by the end of this month.
Fun fact: the MacCrimmons were pipers to the chiefs of Clan MacLeod on the Isle of Skye for several generations including during the 1700s.
Additional fun fact: Outlander is a book and TV series that's massively inspired tourism in the Highlands. I'd never heard of it until I moved to live here. Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series, was inspired by Jamie McCrimmon and named her protagonist "Jamie" in tribute.

Art Farmer: The Melodic Maestro of Jazz Trumpet
Introduction: Art Farmer, born ninety-six years ago today on August 21, 1928, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, was one of the most versatile and innovative jazz trumpeters of the 20th century. Known for his warm, lyrical style, Farmer carved out a unique niche in the jazz world, not only as a trumpet player but also as a flugelhornist and, later in his career, as a…

Although JLU portrayed Hawkgirl as the bersker, in the older comics, she was much more of a scientist.

Kris Ryder a.k.a. Tim “Chris” Andrews SONG OF THE WEEK! “She’s a Romantic” https://timchrisandrews.bandcamp.com/track/shes-a-romantic-non-lp-single A hypnotic “power ballad” by Kris Ryder a.k.a. Tim “Chris” Andrews. Released in 1982 on the DJM label, it’s a sophomore effort following his debut LP on Polydor. “She’s a Romantic” was produced by and co-written with Julia Downes, songwriter for Sheena Easton, The New Monkees, and John Parr, and she later teamed up with Kris/Chris to write songs w/Roger Daltrey. While no credits are given on the vinyl copy, it sounds like much of the session crew from the Polydor sessions, with stunning keyboard parts and tasteful fretless bass (probably) by the legendary Mo Foster. For a B-side, “She’s a Romantic” stands as one of the “great lost tracks of the 80s,” on par with Gerry Rafferty, Cliff Richard, and Leo Sayer. https://timchrisandrews.bandcamp.com/track/shes-a-romantic-non-lp-single

'Round midnight
Desde meados dos anos 2000, quando conheci o programa “Linha Imaginária” na Cultura FM (São Paulo/SP), tenho o costume de dormir algumas noites escutando jazz bem baixinho, mesmo sendo semi-analfabeto em repertório do gênero desde sempre. Ainda escuto o “Cultura Jazz”, substituto do “Linha Imaginária” na mesma Cultura FM, mas nem tudo que toca é muito apropriado pra quem tá tentando…

“Everything meant something else. The apple no longer an apple.” Divided Island by Daniela Tarzona
State the manner of panic, the voice of terror. Approach the scream and grab it with your mouth to make it heard. Right now you’re shouting. You shout with so much force your jugular vein pops out. If one of the possibilities inherent in the form of the novel is the freedom to break with expectations when the expression of the pressing strangeness of being in the world demands it, Mexican writer…
