Laura Marling webchat – follow it live!

To mark the release of her seventh album, Song for Our Daughter, the musician is here, answering your questions

Rasthky asks

There have been a load of unreleased tracks doing the rounds on YouTube - Bleed Me Dry, One Day Soon, and that lovely track at the end of the Woman Driver short movie (pun!), Rest My Troubles Away - will you revisit these, or release them at any point?

Because I've only recently been involved in social media, I've only just been made aware of this, and it's been a really nice surprise. Generally why songs aren't put on records is because they're not good enough, but this made me think some just didn't have the right place on a record. I like that you can find a random track of mine online and feel like you've discovered it – I won't be releasing them.

BrightSlumber asks

You have generously been giving guitar lessons during the lockdown, something I have enjoyed immensely (thank you). You frequently use non-standard guitar tunings, what is your favourite and why?

My favourite tuning at the moment is E A C* E A E. And that's what Goodbye England is written in, and Alexandra from the new album. It's a tuning I've spent less time in, so I'm discovering new things in it. It creates a totally new relationship with the guitar and that's why I'm into it.

Knives Out review – Daniel Craig goes Columbo in Cluedo whodunnit

Craig grills an all-star lineup of suspects when a wealthy novelist is found dead in Rian Johnson’s sharp, country-house murder mystery R ian Johnson unsheathes an entertainingly nasty, if insubstantial detective mystery with his new film, Knives Out. Back in 2005, his debut movie Brick (a high-school thriller) paid tribute to the hardboiled noir genre. Now he does the same thing for cosy crime, although there is nothing that cosy about it. Knives Out has a country house full of frowning suspects, deadpan servants and smirking ne’er-do-wells and an amusing performance from Daniel Craig as Benoît Blanc, the brilliant amateur sleuth from Louisiana who annoys the hell out of one and all by smiling enigmatically, occasionally plinking a jarring high note on the piano during the drawing-room interrogation and pronouncing in his southern burr: “Ah suh-spect far-wuhl play!” Continue reading... from Culture | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2L0NKO4

When Brooklyn was queer: telling the story of the borough's LGBTQ past

In a new book, Hugh Ryan explores the untold history of queer life in Brooklyn from the 1850s forward, revealing some unlikely truths For five years Hugh Ryan has been hunting queer ghosts through the streets of Brooklyn, amid the racks of New York’s public libraries, among its court records and yellow newspaper clippings to build a picture of their lost world. The result is When Brooklyn Was Queer, a funny, tender and disturbing history of LGBTQ life that starts in an era, the 1850s, when those letters meant nothing and ends before the Stonewall riots started the modern era of gay politics.
