Chazza shop 7" find of the week!

I wonder if there was any newly weds in Essex who had this tune as their opening dance at the reception?

Anyone here frequent the Kings club in Canvey Island? Apparently it was quite rowdy and shut down in 2001.

You cheeky monkey! Ya don't know what I have in store for prog 368. Trump satire seems rather redundant now and no obscure Python refs...yet!

Yes, I loved it at the time. One of those tracks played loudly enough would rearrange your alimentary canal.

There's a new film out now called 'The Smashing Machine'.
Is it about?
1) An eccentric prof who invents a contraption that's really rather super?
2) An eccentric prof who invents a demolition bulldozer robot that goes haywire and kills people?
3) Another film about boxing?

If you see any suspicious Normans, please report them to the Anglo Saxon Transport Police immediately. See it. Say it. Smash it with a mace.

As comedian Ben Elton used to say in the eighties, "Ooo, a little bit of politics."

Fields of the Nephilim are an English gothic rock band formed in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in 1984.

Hmm... were Stix an early inspiration?

I've just started that new Spanish Netflix sci-fi drama, Billionaires' Bunker. I can honestly say that I've watched more plausible episodes of Barbapapa. Although, it's been pleasing to finally see the subtle colour combination of teal and orange on my screen.

They missed a rhyming hat trick there. The caption should've read "The Spectre In The Sector Gets Hectored!".

Ah, I've just noticed inflation has risen its head again with a price hike of 2p that began with the previous prog.

We are now at the stage when we’re nostalgic about old nostalgic YouTube uploads.

That's all very well and good, but a smartphone is too heavy for my turntable stylus unlike a twenty pence coin.

Things I'll miss if we become a cashless society:

1) Decision making more simple with heads or tails.
2) The 2ps on your elbow catching game.
3) The banknote folding Queen's bum trick.
4) Estate agents glueing a 50p coin on the pavement outside their High St office for amusement.

Cool bit of Ian Gibson artwork here, although I thought for a moment it was the return of Frank Hart: The Visible Man.

Farewell Patricia Routledge. Here is a picture of her in 1968 receiving a Tony award from Groucho Marx.
What a life she had.

An admirable ancient movie quote that a nerdy horror buff teenager like me really appreciated at the time.

This evening I noticed on the news stand issue one of Sir! magazine. It's a disgrace they didn't make newcomer John Alderton the cover star for this new magazine launch.

A nice trad horror comic cover vibe by the late, great (and greatly troubled) artist, Brett Ewins.

I like it when savoury snack multi-pack packaging gives you the heads up when a new season of a popular TV show is on its way. I haven't seen that sort of promotion since 1982 when KP Outer Spacers advertised the upcoming second series of Tenko on its packet.

Tharg? Can we have some groovy spaceships, sexy androids or some hideous aliens on the cover next time please? Longboats are a bit "History O Level textbook" for my liking.

Only 44k views for this work of art is absolutely insane. It's incredible.
