Wit, raconteur, bon viveur. He is none of these things. A purveyor of cheap mummery and piffle since 1976. Throws random words at a screen for Set The Tape. Bluesky’s foremost Biggles: Adventures In Time aficionado.

Huh, Godzilla and Adam Ant have the same birthday, neat.

I loved how he seemed to exist in a parallel world. You could imagine he really was a dandy highwayman who crashed posh people's parties. Pop stars today have to show too much of their everyday lives, which makes that difficult to sustain. Gaga's the only one I can think who does anything like that.

I mean, I know we live in linear time and that 1981 was forty-four years ago, so on an objective level "Adam Ant is 71 today" must be a factual statement about reality.
But also, that's clearly bollocks. Adam Ant can't be 71.

You regular reminder that Lulu's Youtube channel is a television archive that puts the BFI to shame. From about 1975 she's been taping all her own TV appearances (or getting them to run off tapes for her archive). Happy birthday Lulu! youtu.be/BJmJH3tQlMQ?...

A lot of comedians like to do crowdwork well I’m going to start doing kraftwerk where I make the audience join me in a tribute to Teutonic electronica
