Don’t you hate standing at gigs? I hate standing at gigs. At my gig on the 21st October you can sit in nice red chairs. It’s on a boat five minutes from Canary Wharf station. I play all of my record The Ship’s Piano.

Contents are as perfectly delightful as you’d imagine. Jill McDonald somehow managing to bring a colourful quality even to her monochromatic illustrations.
Very, very tempted to get a tattoo of that spectacularly sublime sickly cat

Page from a 1970s puffin post magazine, gorgeous cartoon pictures in black and white illustrate short texts about how to make a puppet theatre from a matchbox and instructions on creating a snake shaped draught excluder with a sickly looking cross eyed cat with a speech bubble reading yurck in capital letters, illustrating a short item on creating a recipe for deliberately disgusting food. The style of the illustration is a joyful junior psychedelia

Just going to assume the next Kraftwerk album is called Dynamische Preisgestaltung, or something.

A screenshot, pinched from @stevejvickers.bsky.social, showing ludicrously high ticket prices for a Kraftwerk gig.

Performance anxiety and managing negative thoughts: it’s easy to spiral into self-doubt and rush through what could be a precious and magical experience when we share our work with others… but maybe it doesn’t have to be that way! #performanceanxiety xeniapestovabennett.com/2025/10/07/p...

Performance Anxiety and Self-Sabotage: Five Tips for Working with Negative Thoughts - Xenia Pestova Bennett

#OTD 45 years ago (7 Oct 1980) according to my diary, I drew these images for the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC TV series. Douglas Adams as both the ad exec and as Paula, the worst poet in the universe. I was 19 years old and having fun.

The Lemonheads’ Evan Dando: ‘Some people were supposed to take drugs – and one of them was me’

He was the darling of early-90s alt rock, but success came with the kind of rock’n’roll excess that many of his peers did not survive. Now, having finally quit heroin, he’s back with a new album, a memoir – and no regrets

Noted in the comments, this is possibly the funniest band picture ever taken, with the bloke on the left only managing to get his jeans and hand in shot, and the other one cropped out entirely apart from the tip of his ear.

Whitney Bender’s cover design for 1951’s first American edition of “The Day of the Triffids” by John Wyndham. I’m oddly charmed at the lone, apparently benign Triffid on the cover, as if it were a harmless alien tourist sharing humanity’s bafflement about the lights in the nighttime sky.
