On this day, 45 years ago, #Visage released their debut album "Visage" including their breakout hit "Fade To Grey".
Dan LeRoy for AllMusic wrote "this is the music that best represents the short-lived but always underrated #newromantic movement", calling it "a consistently fine creation".

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.

We are destroying the planet because some obscenely rich ppl want to be richer, and to distract us, they want us turning on each other. National media around the globe are happy to play along, and I find this profoundly depressing.

What would we no longer have if fireworks were banned? Terrified pets, yet more pointless plastic released into the environment, antisocial moronic noise. Call me crazy but I reckon we can just about cope with that kind of loss, as a species.

& re Facebook, I'll sometimes post one thing that hits the algorithm & someone will pop in & say something like "I remember you. Why don't you write books any more?"
I've written eight books since 2017.

The way Instagram's algorithm is now, there's about as much point in someone like me having 35,000 followers there as there would be in selling 35,000 tickets for a rock concert in New York then sitting on a Welsh mountain, playing six songs, unaccompanied, on an old banjo with two strings missing.
