Me too. I’ve moved on to Only Connect. But will get annoyed fairly quickly, then I’ve been told that an ex-student is on University Challenge so will watch that if she is on.

Think I probably agree Dean. Don’t think we’ll miss much.

I know Marc. It’s mad?! Crazy to think of that time. Worked there until its demise in 2007/8 (can’t remember exact years) but was there for nearly two years until the very end.
Just remembering the shops, distributors and venues is a hard thing now!

Absolutely! Followed him on the other place and it was always delightful to see the art that he was behind. Even the film and their posters that I wasn’t into had a massive amount of style and credibility. He’s my favourite film poster artist.

That’s it! I’d forgotten about The Roots (how could I?!) exactly! Just so fresh but with that nod like you say.

I know, that really is no age at all. Very sad.

Yeah, Amato was a different period of time, nearly 20 years ago for me.

Really sad to hear about D’Angelo. Always reminds me of the late 90s and his music being so good in a sea of shite Britpop. Alongside Angie Stone, Erykah Badu and Maxwell his was a voice of the times.
This is my favourite of his tracks:
