Sir Roger @Penrose on Conformal Cyclic Cosmology @PhilFacOx. Loved watching old-school transparencies on an old-school whiteboard in front of his laptop camera. Lovely talk, ‘tho I’m unconvinced by the theory itself — and he’s wrong about it being confirmed by Planck data.

Thanks — and hello — to old friends @robsheff, @RealJoeLevy, @audiation for bringing me your fantastic interview with @rxgau (the dean of rock critics, in case you didn’t know). Nothing else has brightened my day so much of late… #Nadine
RIP music producer Hal Willner. Best known for his work on #SaturdayNightLive and with Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, &c, but my favourite was his Brecht-Weill tribute album from ‘85, Lost in the Stars.
