Dear Sweet Darlings,

Long time since we've been together!

I thought I should let you know about a brilliant podcast - The Whole Shebang is discussing Velvet Goldmine minute by minute, each weekday. A glittery way to start the day! The erudite hosts, Jenny and Mike, are fascinating and funny as they treat us to their take on the details in and behind our favorite film. Find them here, with links to other platforms. (Remember when platforms referred to shoes!?)

One ingenious piece of the VG puzzle was explained by Mike who identified the mysterious voice that starts the film as Amelia Earhart from a 1935 radio broadcast, "A Woman's Place in Science". Hence, the film begins and ends with radio!

Quotes We Like

We are already at a point where an appeal to rock 'n' roll will tell us almost nothing worth knowing, though this is, finally, a rock 'n' roll story. Real mysteries cannot be solved, but they can be turned into better mysteries.
