Oh yeah, Frankie for sure.

I always enjoyed Vince turning up with a guitar for an entirely synth-driven pop track. :P

There’s a thread in its own right: Who knew how to turn up on Top of the Pops?

I’d start with The KLF and Wham.

Ah yeah, that really annoyed me.

The KLF knew how to do Top of the Pops.

Indicative of that awful mid to late 90s point where public school boys were going around in Patrick Cox shoes and Paul Smith suits pretending to be working class heroes.

Synth pop was just warming up in 1980. :)

Fancies himself as a bit of an escapologist.

Eldest managed about an hour after bedtime, before coming down and complaining how noisy he was being.

He is now in my studio. Tsk.

The school hamster is here. He is very cute.

Hopefully he will not somehow die before Monday.

Today I are mostly trying to think of ways I can try and make some money if I’m unable to work in the studio for the next six months because of my stupid shoulder injury.

He’s a good egg, this lad.

If it all goes horribly wrong, he’ll get plenty of mileage out of it.

No word of a lie, Chinny, I absolutely bloody love your insane Dutch pop music obsession appearing in my timeline.

Keep up the good work!

You can imagine the poor director in the gantry…

Wow. There's gonna be a LOT of unhappy people seeing their work and image used in this.

I've been watching his YouTube channel for years. He's definitely got the sense of humour to deal with things if Europe goes nul points on it.

And as I was writing this, another thing sold! :D

Things have brightened up on the Reverb front.

Have sold three things now, including my big, orange beast - the Waldorf Microwave XTk.

Haha! Nooooooooooooo! Stop.

It does already appear to have been very subtly replaced over half term. I'm mildly terrified.
