@questingvole I had a similar experience to you in the late 70s and early 80s - The Fog was passed around my classroom when I was about ten, not long after that we discovered the joys of Guy N Smith and what happens if you nip into the dunes for a little nooky. Character building stuff!

The horror! The horror! open.substack.com/pub/samleith/p…

A third of the way into the year and doing well on my ambition to average out at a book a week for the year. Here’s what January to March looked like.

Sorry to hear of the death of Jenni Murray. Met her a couple of times, and was interviewed by her on Women’s Hour when at the W. Great journalist, lovely woman.

Hooked, the new book by Asako Yuzuki, looking great in @Foyles at Waterloo this morning, @4thEstateBooks!

Finally hung my @OBEYGIANT Invader @heni Triple Trouble print. Beware the stairs!

@RingGo_parking trying to pay but app doesn’t work, website times out, phone just says try later.

New arrival from outer space (aka @HENI) which will be going above the window (ideal place also last free bit of wall!).

It’s time.

@beaniemaxi Mine on the wall. Love the #currency.

At peak NFT fomo, Damien Hirst sold 10000 mints for $2000 each. Buyers had the opportunity to keep the digital token, or burn and receive a small physical version. Market preference is clear. While the digital is still worth $2000, the physical floor is up 600% to over $14000.

Trains delayed due to slippery wheels. Somewhere, it is 2025, but not here.

Just watched Warren Zevon performing Mutineer on his final Letterman appearance. A beautiful, heartbreaking rendition. He died a year later, just 56. He really was something else.

@Tim_Burgess I created this. My first band gig (Sheena Easton two months earlier was my first show). Never had a ticket as my sister worked for the promoter and got us in free. Had a backstage pass sticker stuck to my jacket - never removed it but left jacket on a train in ‘83.

The Merch Market Souvenir Ticket Generator They don’t make real tickets anymore so we thought we’d help out if you collect them - any show from the past, present or future Totally FREE get stuck right in here… merch-market.co.uk/ticket-generat…

@Lipstick_Cherry I’m excited for this. I saw them on the ‘85 tour so pleased to be getting a show from the tour on an official release.

Something tells me Arcadia one would have been more popular

Triple Trouble @HENI looking fine this morning!

@BigAudioDyn The thinking man’s Clash.

40 years ago today 1.11.85 we released our first album This is Big Audio Dynamite. Produced by Mick Jones,  made at Redan and Sarm West studios West London. Cover photo by Dan Donovan. The 8 track album reached number 27 in the UK charts

Finally got the Art of Noise RSD25 release as one can’t have enough versions of Moments in Love on vinyl.

Get in. Just been informed by @HENI I have been allocated one of these @OBEYGIANT / Invader prints from the Triple Trouble exhibition. Oversubscribed of course but I got one. Now, just need some wall space!

And looking good in the evening on the way home! @HENI

Commutes made better with art. Triple Trouble looming large on the way to Waterloo. @HENI
