Two of your old boys arguably in their greatest backline, too?

Ha, yes, they rinsed you out good and proper, didnt' they?
I wasn't lucky enough to see them that early on, sadly - think it would have been on the Night Time tour, so Youth had been and gone by then. But I remember how brutal they seemed - such an aggressive approach. Unique sound, so choking.

Great artwork band, weren't they? At least early on. The menace of the sleeves seemed in total lockstep with that grinding claustrophobic horror. It felt like being trapped listening to them.

They were keen on this format . I’ve got a similar-sized Follow The Leaders

Not played #weekendsingles for a while. In appreciation of the late Stephen Luscombe, here’s four fine servings of Blancmange. Golden mould-ies!

I am no great lover of Halloween - or at least the late-stage capitalist appropriation of a pagan festival, yada yada - but you’d be er, Poe-faced not to be moved by this effort.

‘£20 for the fox?’ is a household staple round here. What a brilliant show that is.

That's a terrific cast as well, isn't it? Looking forward to this one.

But ostensibly, I'm with you. I like to go at my own pace in most things.

I get your argument - I've been that person. That said, I've recently listened to a few people, most recently Budgie, reading his book and found it to be an enhanced feature - I followed along in a 'read-a-long' at times with my copy. My biggest problem with novels now is remembering stuff.

Diane Keaton could do anything. She's absolutely outstanding here in Sleeper, in which she and Woody Allen attempt to steal the nose, which is all that is left of 'The Leader'. It'sll gravy, but go for it from 4:27

It’s a long old trip, isn’t it? Not all the scenery was good, but there were beautiful views now and again (even in the cave). Here’s to the roads ahead, wherever they lead us.

The school reports really are not good at this time. And no, remarkably, no hair products were ever used. It was just really dry and wiry. I still know this boy though, better now than I did then, thankfully.

Possibly 1983/early 1984, probably a Sunday. I was living in a cave, clearly, where I was in no way influenced by messrs Smith or McCulloch. No, mam.
A chubby teenage Steve sports an equally chunky sweater and wears an uneasy grin that has endured down the years. He is checking out the caveman paint stylings, which seem to include the obligatory ‘cunts’ and a big love-heart for a mysterious beau.

I hope so. Music plays such a big part in family life - we always try and do a few gigs a year together still and they are 26 and 22 now. Keeps you young, doesn’t it. Great list, mate. Keep rockin’
