New Record Collector mag (out Thursday) has a terrific ten-years-on Rob Hughes feature on the importance of Bowie and Prince.
I’ve written about Reggae’s Greatest Year for LPs (that’s 1976 in case you didn’t know) and reviewed the forthcoming reissue of Talk Talk’s monumental Spirit Of Eden.

Every time I listen to the music of Sergio Mendes, I can't help thinking of this photo of him and his band with Harrison Ford in 1970, just after Ford had finished building a recording studio in Sergio's back garden. I like to think Mendes later went to see Star Wars & shouted "That's my carpenter!"

That reminds me: It's Tom Baker's birthday in two days so no need to panic if you see his name trending on Tuesday.

I don't suppose anyone has easy access to any fanzines that covered Blake's 7, published earlier than 1983? (Later than that is no good, and I've got all issues of the Marvel monthly.) It's for a thing.

The daughter of a friend's friend is making a film about the bands that played at Minsthorpe High School in the late 80s/early 90s – the likes of the Weddoes, Cud, House of Love etc.
They're trying to track down the teachers who put the bands on – Mel and Trev. Anyone know them?

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Ah, you know me, always diving in on the sewing details. Fabulously even hand stitches to stop the Lycra laddering after the cuts. Fraying of the ribbon, fringing where the lame was cut. Also: stripping to a Richard Thompson song. @coseyfannitutti.bsky.social @humberstgallery.bsky.social
