Utangarðsmenn (Outsiders) - "Phantom Bitch" [ICELAND, 1981, I.O.P. Records] One of the first punk bands from Iceland, and in my opinion the finest.

It’s not even Gregg Alexander’s worst song - he also wrote Life Is A Rollcoaster for Ronan Keating. (And Murder On The Dancefloor, as it goes.)

As someone wittier than me said “supporting Arsenal is like following Netflix- it’s all about the next season”.

Used to carry a briefcase full of weights at ALL times. For Comic Relief would challenge the entire school to a sponsored ‘arm wrestle Omar’ in tuck shop. Claimed to shave with a machete. Once did assembly and told us we were all decadent weaklings (aged 15). Very charming and amazing at Chess.

Socio-economic groupings seem to have replaced old school ‘class’ systems. They ultimately keep each other close, regardless of what are pretty clearly heinous crimes to regular people. They can’t do without the trappings they provide each other I guess. Co-dependency and a sort of FOMO.

It’s because her deal will now be very archaic and not fit for the streaming economy. Yours, a music biz lawyer.

Well this is the eternal problem isn’t it. We have to disassociate the person from their output. I totally hate cancel culture - it’s the cousin of book burning. I mean Caravaggio was a murderer, but it doesn’t make his art any less vital does it.

I see him almost every other day, when I’m having a run in the park (he lives just round the corner and seems to be constantly walking his 2 little dogs). He usually looks deflated, at best. However the day before yesterday, for some reason, he fixed me with a stare. I thought that was a bit cocky.
