Really, Victoria Wood

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Stevie Mitchell

High Visibility (of your Love)

Posted on April 6, 2016 by Stevie Mitchell

This morning I came across a Country and Western number I wrote in January 2013 under the deliciously boot-scootin’ moniker of Situation Steve. It’s the (confusingly uptempo) story of a man who… well – see for yourself. I’ve provided the … Continue reading →

The Wisdom of Ron Swanson

Posted on March 31, 2016 by Stevie Mitchell

Parks and Recreation. Striding through the seasons of this perfect gang-show sitcom – a creation where they merely need to reel in Jon Hamm in the gorgeous cameo of a hapless, yin-to-yang’d, version of Don, and in which Morrissey lyrics are placed … Continue reading →

Detectorists

Posted on December 24, 2015 by Stevie Mitchell

A love song about the English countryside and about the English, Detectorists (BBC Four, Channel X, written and directed by Mackenzie Crook) has been my most treasured TV find (see what I did?) of recent times. It’s beautifully, gently, so carefully paced, … Continue reading →

Little Brown Bear

Posted on November 9, 2015 by Stevie Mitchell

Today’s drawing. Arguably not a million miles away, thematically, from the previous post – and, clearly, there’s something going on in me coconut that’s got me in a groove. But that said, I like the ‘writes itself’ nature of the … Continue reading →

Posts from the Var Side – Leeds Legs

Posted on July 16, 2015 by Stevie Mitchell

Weekend before last in the little town here, I saw a lovely pair of jeans. Coppery, brown, all the shades of bread; well-riveted and with luxurious price tag, even in the ‘Soldes’. Yesterday I set out to buy them; the … Continue reading →

Particular Fox Revisited, 1-6

Posted on October 22, 2014 by Stevie Mitchell
