@susborne Brilliant. And it really can’t be any worse than the giant cock that’s made regular appearances on British TV since March.

My toddler would love this tbf. Danish kids' animation about a man with a massive dick dr.dk/drtv/se/john-d… (see theguardian.com/world/2021/jan… )

In more relaxing news, a new kids' show from the wonderfully unfettered DR, Danish Broadcasting Corp. The show's been a hit. Stroke of luck, I suppose. Critics have given it a long, hard look though, unhappy with DR's swelling budget. Bunch of pricks. theguardian.com/world/2021/jan…

Does your feed have enough nonsense in it? Danish public broadcaster has new animated series for 4- to 8-year-olds about John Dillermand, "the man with the world’s longest penis who overcomes hardships and challenges with his record-breaking genitals." theguardian.com/world/2021/jan…

@domjoly It is fantastic Dom! Touching the bleak soundscapes of early New Order/Joy Division and countless unheralded European coldwave outfits from the early 80s :)

This is fantastic

Was that an episode of NUMBERWANG! or LOOK AROUND YOU that I just watched? #BorisJohnson

@davidschneider Come on David, at least one might not be a sociopath.

@rogerquail @bazzanagnagnag @e17RnR_books @Birmingham_81 @subcultpostpunk @sheffieldblogs @VIBE_Sheffield @WidgerPaul @PeopleForPrint Absolutely love Kan Kan. The missing link between Pete Wylie, Billy Mackenzie and Scott Walker. I hope to include Patrick Dineen’s work on my page Decade 77-87 soon :)

@bazzanagnagnag @DECADE_77_87 @e17RnR_books @Birmingham_81 @subcultpostpunk @sheffieldblogs @VIBE_Sheffield @WidgerPaul @PeopleForPrint Hi Barry, thanks for the kind words. Don't remember anything about Kan Kan. After much faffing about in Sheffield, we did arrive very late for the gig. Must've missed 'em in the rush.
