It certainly looks like there were a lot more people at the My Bloody Valentine show at Wembley Arena last night than when Biff Bang Pow! supported them on a rainy Saturday night at Chatham Town Hall in January 1988. Alan McGee and Dick Green from Creation signed them to the label that very night

Viv Prince RIP. When The Pretty Things played in Porto in 2016 I DJ-ed at the show - and went for dinner with them beforehand. Phil May told me that he once went on the bizarrest double date with Viv Prince in the Sixties - Phil and Rudolph Nureyev - and Viv and Judy Garland!

Mark Volman from The Turtles RIP. Love this explanation by him and Howard Kaylan of The Turtles of the various managers they got through - and the payouts and lawsuits ensued. I remember showing this on the tour bus on the Lush reunion US tour. Oh how we laughed : www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdBG...
