Happy 75th birthday to the legendary Horace Andy.

This mighty 12" is one of my favourites by him. From the fanfare intro and deep bass to his righteous vocals floating over the top.

This is roots reggae perfection... β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ’š

Movie poster for The Conspiracists. The image shows a middle-aged woman sitting indoors in a dimly lit room, turned slightly in profile. She wears a tan baseball cap with two upright feathers tucked into the back, a red bandana underneath the cap, and a dark zip-up hoodie over a light T-shirt. Her right hand is extended mid-gesture as if explaining something. She sits on a couch near a window with patterned curtains; daylight filters in from the left, casting soft light on her face while the right side of the frame fades into shadow.

Across the top right portion of the poster are five white festival laurel graphics with text inside them. From left to right they read:

β€œOFFICIAL SELECTION American Documentary and Animation Film Festival 2025”

β€œNominee Toronto International Women Film Festival 2025”

β€œWINNER Miami Women Film Festival 2025”

β€œEXCEPTIONAL MERIT Documentaries Without Borders International Film Festival”

β€œFILM & MEDIA FESTIVAL New Orleans 2025”

Centered prominently in large white bold text: β€œThe Conspiracists”

Below the title, in smaller yellow text: β€œA Liz Smith Film”

At the bottom in small white credits text:

In April, I’ll join Liz for London screenings and conversations at Curzon Soho, The Lexi, and Act One Cinema. I’m curious how UK audiences respond to The Conspiracists, given how these dynamics have extended well beyond the U.S. Details below:
