Solyaris (1972) – welais i hon ar fideo yn nhy fy rhieni dros y Sul a syrthiais i gysgu dwywaith wrth edrych. Nid bai y ffilm oedd hyn (mae ty fy rhieni fel ffwrn ar ôl ein hen dy drafftiog ni – dw i’n wastad yn cwympo i gysgu pan af i ’na) oedd does dim modd gwadu nad yw’r ffilm ’ma yn anhygoel o araf a hypnotig.

Sa i wedi gweld y fersiwn newydd gan Steven Soderbergh eto. A oes pwynt?

Dim ebost ond llawer o recordiau

Wedi bodio adre o’r Waun mewn tri lifft cyflym (gan gynnwys un gyda merch benfelyn mewn sportscar coch, nid bod unrhywun yn mynd i fy nghredu) a dyma tri pharsel llawn cerddoriaeth i mi. A beth yw’r fath orau o gerddoriaeth? Cerddoriaeth am ddim, dyna beth.

Diolch yn fawr i Mihangel a Steffan am y recordiau a’r CDs. Dw i wedi rhoi ofn Labordy Swn Cont i mewn i’r bachgen ifanc o’r Almaen sy’n aros gyda ni.

Weithiau, mae bywyd mor braf â “Diwrnod Braf”.

Y Carcharwr. Drueni nad oedd Robin Llewelyn yn rheolwr Portmeirion yn y 60au: falle y byddai’r Prisoner ei hunan yn ddwyieithog.

Welwn ni chi.

Hen gyfweliad â Nick Saloman o’r Bevis Frond. Ei CD Valedictory Songs yw un o’m ffefrenau o’r 5 mlynedd diwetha, ond does gen i dim byd arall ganddo. Rhaid i mi wneud rhywbeth am hynny.

Apparently I’m the only person using Golddust Studio who still records on analogue, 1/4 inch tapes. He got out his old Revox to mix down onto and he said the last person who had used it was me, a year earlier. Everyone else uses DAT, of course. And I don’t, because I think it’s horrible. Bollocks to that.
