I was watching this again with my kids the other day and I noticed (at 6.48) that the guy shovelling pigeon shit into his bucket while suspended in his boson’s chair is also smoking a fag! Now that is multitasking, 70s style.

As a child, it was always a name that stood out for me in the end credits, unusual and slightly mysterious. I had no idea who he or she was, but the name sounded significant in a British BBC kind of way, and in my […]

Similar thing happened to me on a Ryanair flight when I had the audacity to move a guy’s leather jacket that was taking up the only remaining overhead locker space for my carry-on. I moved his jacket – under the […]

Has it ever been revealed what this curious feeling was? I wonder if it was humility or empathy.

The five track 81-82 EP was an old favourite that was sadly stolen at the aforementioned frisbee party. That EP contained superb 12″ versions of Everything’s Gone Green and Temptation. But those early 12″ tracks […]

I’ve never really warmed to the New Order remixes, and I consider myself a moderate fan of their 80s/early 90s work. I still have those fancy Factory tape boxes of Lowlife and Brotherhood. Years ago they were used […]
