Ah the 1970s.
Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Going to check this out, not least to find out what we Brits had instead. Comic strip featuring George Formby and his little stick of Blackpool rock hopefully.
New episode of the podcast just went up!

This one on the Tijuana Bibles. 1 hour 40 minutes, and my best work so far, I think. An everything-and-the-kitchen-sink episode, since once you get going on the Bibles there's a lot that is relevant to it.

The new Rosalía album is absolutely spectacular. Yet another talented young woman refusing to take the easy path through a pop career, this has all the same ambition as Janelle Monáe, Kate Bush, Beyoncé & Bjork. Dripping with potty mouthed religious imagery, this is an instant masterpiece.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

This is a day late. My friend Rebecca who’s not on social media shared pics of her pumpkin lanterns with me and they’re too good not to share.

Late night last night seeing the wonderful Brandy Clark. Based on the new songs she played, next album is going to be a classic.

So sad to hear about the passing of Dave Ball. The Ron to Marc Almonds’s Russell.
The first three Soft Cell albums are impeccable, not least ‘The Art of Falling Apart’ . He goes to town on ‘TAOFA’ Hendrix medley.
Only a week before the reissues too. youtu.be/m568go823Fk

R.I.P., Dave Ball of Soft Cell. Marc Almond might've been out front, but Dave was just as crucial to Soft Cell's success, and I don't think Marc would disagree.
This is one of Soft Cell's more recent tracks, and it's one I think of often, as it resonates a bit more every day, sadly. Give it a spin.

In tribute to the spookiest month of all, here’s a very stupid Siouxsie Sioux/Bewitched mashup I drew a year or two back.
