a photograph of the inside of the former government secret nuclear bunker, Kelvedon Hatch, Essex. Lots of 1980s computers still on desks.

the cover artwork of a whisky glass with ice for the release of the song Getting Away With It by the electronic pop group Electronic. The colours are reversed so the whisky appears blue and the black background is white.

Maybe it's the artwork that gets me, or that when it first came out, it was a blissful first listen. But the design, man, the design. And the sheer audacity of the remix artwork too.

They could have simply released Getting Away With It and left it at that. I like the other stuff (Get The Message is fantastic), but GAWI is without fault, sleeve design too. It's perfect.

I like the idea that you are there when me and the nipper/s are watching* the game from afar. If you choose not to renew, I don't blame you at all, but personally I'd be disappointed. Bit selfish of me I know.

althought each W3W covers only roughly three square metres, so it might be a bit of a squeeze.

You can find pudding.chips.gravy in Lallulah, Louisiana. Who knew this delicacy of the gods had travelled that far!

New music featuring the voice of Mark E. Smith, you say?

And today should have been his 69th birthday?
