Remains of the Day (12/05)

 

Dekkoo: Liam Calvert's "A Night Like This" (2025) is definitely worth a watch. Alexander Lincoln and Jack Brett Anderson are so sexy and have such incredible chemistry that you'll remain invested till the morning after, even if the story gets a tad clumsy at times.













Song of the Day: Was stunned and thrilled when I saw a "new" release called "Take It to the Top" by the the Style Council, listed as a demo from their debut LP. Turns out it's from an upcoming six-disc special edition of "Café Bleu," which will include even more previously unreleased material!  


Shame GameOur weekly viral fat “shaming” event is upon us, with a woman who claims her Delta seatmate complained about her size. I know I've been unkind about the topic in the past -- which, to be honest, is far more tongue-in-cheek than most people realize, a way of deflecting my desire to live on nothing but Nutter Butters and milk -- but I will add this: I feel for this woman and I realize most seats are too small for most of us, much less someone who is larger-statured. But it is a balancing act. Damian and I recently spent more money than we ever have on concert tickets to see Stevie Nicks, and after the show started, a young woman arrived to fill the one vacant seat directly beside us -- which forced Damian to stand entirely in front of my chair and left me 100% in the aisle, with no seat (for the ballads). We were sympathetic and didn't say anything. But would I be “shaming” anyone if we had wanted to be able to use the chairs we paid a small fortune for? Because I don't see any “nice” way of bringing it up -- and god knows she didn’t either.
