Dropar by Atli Örvarsson.
I’ve caught this on the radio a few times now and it’s had a tendency to linger long after it’s finished.

Van Wreck at Lizard Point
The remains of a white van at the bottom of Lizard Point. Apparently it managed to deposit itself down there at the end of January.
Cauldron Falls – Winter 2024

Maps – Mid March 2025 Update
It’s time for another little update and this time it’s 238 Ordnance Survey maps of various towns and cities across North Yorkshire.
Interesting map sets include:
31452
So, in a moment of extreme nerdiness whilst watching the 28 Years Later trailer, I wondered if the abandoned train featured in a shot was just a product of the arts department or if it actually was a real locomotive.
Support Your Local Police Movie
The heroes likewise are strung along a spectrum from the hippie cop Frank Serpico, who nearly paid with his life for exposing the corruption of the New York force, to the uncouth ‘Popeye’ Doyle
The BFI website has quite a nice reprint (if that’s what we’re calling these things…) of a Spring 1974 article on the early 70’s explosion of US cop movies. Many of the movies talked about are ones that have passed me by and appear to have faded from memory, but it is interesting to see how films like Dirty Harry and Serpico were viewed and evaluated at the time.
Read Support Your Local Police Movie at the BFI website.
