This is a fiendish game - simple but one that gets progressively harder. You start with anagrams of 4 letter words to unscramble in 30 seconds and the words get longer as you go on.
Some incredible readings on here - and an unusual mix of names. Absolutely wonderful!

Prog magazine issue 162 with Kate Bush on the cover, in her glam mode with hair up, purples and pinks in her make-up, wearing a black jacket and red-bronze scarf. A free A4 art card has her in in a bright yellow suit jacket with rolled up sleeves, she is smiling and has her eyes closed. All images by Guido Harari from 1985. The feature is about the making of the Hounds Of Love album, which is 40 years old in September. There are other articles on Mike Oldfield, a tribute to Dave Cousins, Bioscope (featuring Steve Rothery), modern Canterbury Scene bands and Michael Giles.
And if anyone likes a little-known artist called Kate Bush, I've written the cover feature about the making of Hounds Of Love for Prog, out today 🎶

Thanks to @jothekendall.bsky.social for alerting me to the new single by The Cardiacs. It is absolutely tremendous and I can't stop listening to it. 79p well spent on Bandcamp!

Was just telling my kids about having to use phone boxes and they looked at me like I was going on about playing clarinet with Duke Ellington in the 30’s
