Dave Ball, synth-pop hitmaker as one half of Soft Cell, dies aged 66 Synth player and producer had huge success with Tainted Love and other Soft Cell hits, and later returned to UK Top 10 with dance project the Grid

Devastated to hear this news. Glad I got to see Soft Cell several times.

Good show from the Psychedelic Furs last night, with a set spanning all of their albums. Could have done with a bit of sax but since the sad loss of Mars Williams, it wasn't to be.

I managed to get one, Β£100 including fees which will be my most expensive gig of the year. Wait until closer to the time then keep checking Twickets, there will be people selling them and it should be at face value.

We discussed hair prodcuts and Mark wrote some recommendations in my book. Not sure if "Sugar" is a brand name or he's suggesting mixing actual sugar with one of the others. I know Ian McCulloch used to wash his hair in Coca Cola to get his spiky look.

Strictly speaking this is a mini-album, but I don't know anyone else who's ever heard of it.

Post an obscure album in your collection that always makes you think: 'Surely nobody else has got this?'

Spiders are welcome in my house, they get rid of the annoying flying insects. Look at this amazing web that was outside my window last year.

Have you tried these? They're miles better than the original flavour.

Fantastic set from @throwingmuses.bsky.social last night. 90 minutes with a good selection from the recent albums and much older material. @kristinhersh.bsky.social is possibly my favourite human ever.

I've gone my whole life without paying attention to football, I think I'm too old to be converted!

Watch DEVO | Netflix Official Site Interviews with the band and vivid vintage video trace Devo's evolution from their Akron, Ohio, art-rocker roots to new wave "Whip It" fame and beyond.

This is worth 90 minutes of your time. If you think Devo are just a bit quirky, this will help you appreciate the serious philosophy behind their music.

Support from The Minus 5, who were the same people in a different configuration. Surprised to discover how many albums they've released. Peter Buck is a regular member, not sure if Luke Haines plays on any of the records.

Luke Haines and Peter Buck playing a sellout gig at the H&H last night. Most of it was new to me as it was from the latest album, which I hadn't realised was out yet. I picked up a copy after the show.

My friends have a band called Independent Country, they play covers of indie hits in a country style. I've heard their version so many times I can't remember what the original Arctic Monkeys tune sounds like.
