30 YEARS AGO TODAY: the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party is opened by Reeves & Mortimer covering Hawkwind's Silver Machine. No explanation, no lyrical changes unless a cameo by the riff from Day Tripper counts, never released, and they weren't hosting it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGeb...

MARVELLOUS. Worth noting that this was the continuity on BBC Two AND BBC One Wales this evening. (It would've been in-character if he'd been surprised University Challenge had stopped being on ITV.)

NICHE DISCOVERY OF THE DAY: I always liked how the front cover of Cuckooland's "Pop Sensibility" (Damaged Goods, 1995, art credited to Paul Petard) looked like a Tom Paterson comic panel. Just discovered it's based on the first ever panel of a Calamity James strip (1 Nov 86).
