Algernon Newton's 'City of London from Hampstead,' (c1920) brings to mind Constable's views painted from a similar spot of commanding elevated views across Hampstead Heath to St Michael's in Highgate.

Hopper portrayed the “horror house” before Hollywood. House by the Railroad (1925) freezes a mansion in suspense—a lonely home becomes ominous, American suburbia turns into a nightmare. Years later, it inspired Hitchcock’s famous film Psycho. #artbots #hopper

I was thinking how tired and fed up I was when Samreen emailed me from her tiny attic in Afghanistan and put it all in context.

A gothic wonder from Samreen in Kabul. She never loses her sense of humour - even in the darkest hour.

1995. St Etienne “He’s on the Phone" is pure French pop chic meets grim British reality. Sarah Cracknell’s melancholic whisper set against a euro-house dance beat. The ultimate soundtrack for walking home from the club at dawn in heels, singing the hook into your greasy chip wrapper. Bliss. @120Revisited @Britpopmemories @ShiiineOn_ @OMGIluvthatsong @XMartinsMusicX
