TV Times promotion from the early 70s (when else? Look at them, for god's sake). Can't help but feel that television peaked at this point. It's been all downhill ever since.

Here's a recent chazza shop find. A novelty 1976 charity fund raiser single. I prefer the B-side instrumental version. Seriously funky. You could tell composer Bill Oddie was a fan of Parliament and Funkadelic. youtube.com/watch?v=JO7G...

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

Great article.

(Reminded me that I actually waited for a record shop to open for the morning so I could pick up the VHS video single of Travelling Light on the day of release..)

It is kind of darkly amusing how his brain is pickled in exactly the same way someone ranting about QAnon and Great Replacements are, but in a very different genre of brine.
