This is fantastic news, Wolverhampton University School of Art and Design has been grade II listed, rather than knocked down as originally proposed.

Finally, and thanks to @alexprestonpod.bsky.social, I am able to share this feature-length version of my YouTube nonsense show. Recorded during the Fringe. I look very hot throughout. As in, actual hot. Overwarm. Dehydrated. Enjoy!

Stopped to take some pics of these beauties. Lad cycling by shouts ‘They’re chess pieces!’ ‘They’re lovely,’ I say. ‘Yeah,’ he agrees, speeding off to deliver some drive by art knowledge in another part of town. William Mitchell, Basildon, 1966.

It will entertain some of you to hear that the BFI has asked to place an episode of No More Jockeys in an archive of 'important online works of the past 30 years' (!) Happy to pass on suggestions as to which episode.

Five years ago today, the very first episode of "No More Jockeys" was uploaded to YouTube.

This phenomenon involving @alexhorne.bsky.social, @watsoncomedian.bsky.social and #TimKey was the catalyst to this incredible group of people.

I had this same cassette version. A seminal (#NMEclichealert) album for me

“For the uninitiated, they are the science-fiction Stooges, an alternative reality radiation-mutated Talking Heads playing the folk music of the open American interstate highways and post-industrial wastelands.”
Long-time fan Sean Kitching celebrates the legacy of a true ‘Crocus Behemoth’ of the avant garde, post punk, underground rock and pop Americana, David Thomas, who passed away yesterday after a long period of ill-health
