Here's my DJ gig set supporting @thewendyjames.bsky.social. Leaning heavily into 70s Glam & Punk (mostly avoiding Spellbound-style Alt-80s stuff) with a tiny bit of 50s/60s and 90s/00s. Brought me back to Stay Beautiful days and made me feel... hmm, I'll say ten years younger. (So still pretty old.)

The Venn overlap of people who insist Hallowe'en isn't British and people who insist 'soccer' isn't British is probably close to a circle. They're all wrong.
For a kid in 70s Wales, it was huge. Carving turnip lanterns (no pumpkins available), apple bobbing etc. And we didn't learn it from America.

Dave Ball's three-way fusion of Kraftwerk, Northern Soul and John Barry was inspired, a perfect backdrop for Marc Almond's emotionalism. And he did so much more besides Soft Cell (eg The Grid and as a producer). To meet Dave and work with him was a privilege. Love to Marc, and to Dave's family. RIP.
