A free lunchtime gig in support of XTRMNTR filmed for - I think - Japanese TV. Kevin Shields lurking in the shadows. Mani on bass. An absolutely incendiary show. But the biggest cheer? When Mani noodled the bass intro to I Wanna Be Adored between songs

Ending the year with a flourish. Three fantastic books spanning seven decades in popular music. To paraphrase SPM, the pleasure, the privilege has been all mine.

8 years ago yesterday we launched the first 3 compilations in our Own Label series with Bob. Insisted on an afternoon in the JS archive by way of ‘researching’ the cover design direction which we wanted to honour the ‘62-‘77 in house packaging. One of the happiest days of my life
