Can confirm!

My fifteenth! But they have a French superfan who was in the front row for her 196th (not a typo - one hundred and ninety six, genuinely closing in on the world record for most gigs of the same act attended by a fan)

Wasn’t it superb?

My 12 year old, who isn’t a fan of fireworks, has just announced that she has shifted into Christmas mode.

Here's a nice song about them - www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5gI...

RIP to inspirational movie poster legend, Drew Struzan. Everything he put his pen to ended up being some canonical representation of a movie we now love. Often, the posters are more famous than the movies themselves. Poster auteurism!

We love these unused Struzan designs for Back to the Future.

Thank you! My twelfth!

Google Photos just reminded me of my son's old coat, where the designer apparently didn't send over one of the comic-strip fonts, so it just said 'BAM' in lower-case Helvetica, like he was the least-interested superhero ever. Punctual Man. The Credible Hulk. Hullboy.

This first sentence is worryingly past-tense (this is a screengrab from the current genome.ch.bbc.co.uk )

Excellent 'Yes / Yes / The Tiger Is Out' energy in this post. I have followed this account for a while and can only presume it is run by a very excitable teenager)

I love our town fair day, but there's always one violent idiot who has to ruin it for everyone, trundling around making threats.

RIP

Look at this glorious mayhem

“The Royal Mail has issued a commemorative stamp featuring Daryl Hall and John Oates kissing”

RIP Biddy Baxter. An extraordinary woman by anybody’s standards.

Oh sad to see this. I had a lovely time in studio with him directing his autobiography audiobook form Fantom, one of my first ever pro jobs. Under orders not to have lunch in the pub as we may well have lost valuable studio time, did Tescos and bonded over dislike of self service checkouts. Glamour.

Ray Brooks, voice of Mr Benn, dies aged 86 He also starred in ground-breaking drama Cathy Come Home, as well as primetime shows Big Deal and EastEnders.

RIP Ray Brooks. Voice of Mr Benn; worked with Ken Loach for Cathy Come Home; was in The Knack with Rita T; star of Big Deal; made a much sought-after singer-songwriter LP; appeared in both EastEnders and Coronation Street. Goodbye 20th century. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Advert in the NME for 25th June 1983, promoting "A Midsummer Night's Tube". A lapel, with loads of button badges pinned to it (U2, Robert Plant, Duran Duran etc) and the tagline "This Friday, one button gets them all".

Belter of an advert for "A Midsummer Night's Tube" from NME, 25th Jun 1983. Really simple idea, carried off beautifully.

Here’s a quick video of my EMU replica puppet in action!!

Congratulations and happy whatever-comes-next!

I remember seeing a photo of a 'case of bears' they sent out for promo - it was a 6x4 bottle beer crate containing 24 adorable little teddies

They were my highlight of the weekend! Conversely, two hours of relentless undifferentiated thudding with shitty AI video as the main stage headine act? Not for me Jeff

Happy anniversary! I was on the barriers for what correctly turned out to be my highlight of the weekend so far!

I am here and yes Sting were brilliant and I sang all the words along with their lead singer Gordon . Looking forward to Public Service And His Broadcastings shortly

Let’s enjoy the nice weather while it persists!
