I was going to make this thread last night, but didn’t. Was prompted by @eems’s TED talks thread.
Man Utd under Fergie Original-run Futurama The life and work of Louis CK
The Flaming Lips.
The UK Patents Act 1977.
Guaranteed to get the ratings through the roof, too.
The Beatles
The life and work of Ho Chi Minh
the collected works of Balonz
Not sure that will translate well to pre-watershed TV…
Richard Brautigan Maybe The Smiths too
Steve Jobs
Blow Jobs
Lee Harvey Oswald
what’s your favourite brautigan book/poetry collection?
Peep Show
The Simpsons: 1989-1999 Yo La Tengo
The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster for poetry, Sombrero Fallout for prose But I read the edna webster collection most recently and that’s got some of the best weird snippets of anything I’ve read by him
Probably quite embarrassingly it would be Los Campesinos.
The Office (UK)
just imagining John Humphry’s contempt as he reels off questions like ‘was it an album or a record?’ and ‘under what moniker did the Los Campesinos front man post at unpopular music forum drownedinsound’.
Crystal Palace Football Club 1987-2016
