With all the controversy of Mark E Smith being put over new musical backing - always though this recording of my first group - a punk one in a garage in Morden in 1978 - would have made an ideal musical accompaniment to an early Fall song : www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwO5...

RIP Richard O'Sullivan. Such sad news. This is what Lawrence said about the great man (plus @junkshopper.bsky.social) in the NME in 1992. Listen to Denim's version of the Robin's Nest theme, which was written by Richard, at: ▶️ youtu.be/NarL1RXtvBI

Feel is a new group made up of original Felt members Gary Ainge, Marco Thomas on bass and Philip King on rhythm guitar. With Martin Davies on keys and Andy Wellings on lead guitar, they will be honouring the beauty of Felt’s music-by playing instrumental Felt songs-and Felt songs instrumentally.

Fan photo taken by Scott M. Schreiber at Glastonbury 1992. I’m rockin’ a brave all white look. I wore something similar when Felt played there in 1987 too (with Miki and Emma in the audience) and didn’t get a spot of mud on myself either time.

I see that Eyes Wide Shut has just been reissued by Criterion. During my very short time as a film extra in the late '90s I actually turned down Kubrick - as I was offered the - fnar fnar - very small part of a naked waiter at an orgy in Eyes Wide Shut.

It certainly looks like there were a lot more people at the My Bloody Valentine show at Wembley Arena last night than when Biff Bang Pow! supported them on a rainy Saturday night at Chatham Town Hall in January 1988. Alan McGee and Dick Green from Creation signed them to the label that very night

Viv Prince RIP. When The Pretty Things played in Porto in 2016 I DJ-ed at the show - and went for dinner with them beforehand. Phil May told me that he once went on the bizarrest double date with Viv Prince in the Sixties - Phil and Rudolph Nureyev - and Viv and Judy Garland!

Mark Volman from The Turtles RIP. Love this explanation by him and Howard Kaylan of The Turtles of the various managers they got through - and the payouts and lawsuits ensued. I remember showing this on the tour bus on the Lush reunion US tour. Oh how we laughed : www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdBG...
