On the day that Richard Dawson arrives in Cardiff to showcase material from his excellent new album End Of The Middle, here's a Quietus Baker's Dozen with a twist: his selection of 13 films "that share the record's themes of domesticity, home and family units", including David Lynch's The Straight Story, Bong Joon Ho's Mother, Michael Winterbottom's Wonderland and Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights.
Dawson will not so much be striding into town for a return to the Gate, scene of a triumphant show almost two years ago to the day, as hobbling along. He's currently wearing a protective boot on his left leg due to an Achilles tendon injury that he's told audiences was sustained eating a cheese pasty while birdwatching in Northumberland. It's fair to say that's not your average rock 'n' roll injury... Credit to him for soldiering on.
