My favourite beginning to a 1970s TV mystery drama of the week. Going by their smugness and the title of the story, that’s them both dying horribly at the end then.

Chazza shop vinyl find of the week.
I'm a sucker for novelty covers of pop songs played in an anachronistic style. I love Big Daddy; they were the '80s Mike Flowers Pops of their day. So, sue me.
A doo-wop version of Devo's Whip It, anybody?

Nice pastiche of the old Commando war comics, although the pilot should've cried out the fuller, "Gott in Himmel!" oft exclamation, and perhaps added "Donner und Blitzen!" for extra authenticity.

I've just watched another one of those morbid AI videos where the cast of a beloved old movie takes a selfie with their future dead self. Peter Cushing wonders why the ghost of Bing from Brookside has rocked up instead.

Here's a recent chazza shop find. A novelty 1976 charity fund raiser single. I prefer the B-side instrumental version. Seriously funky. You could tell composer Bill Oddie was a fan of Parliament and Funkadelic. youtube.com/watch?v=JO7G...

I spotted this Dad birthday card in Sainsburys today. The pun doesn't work and the illustration is diabolical. This card wouldn't even be acceptable if my own child designed it. I'd even go as far to say if I received this card from my child, they would be put up for adoption.
