Jon Slade joined Comet Gain in the early 00s, who released the album Realistes in 2002. It featured the track Ripped Up Suit, highlighted by critics as one of the strongest tracks on the album. Aptly for Jon and the Huggy Bear/ riot grrrl link this would feature Katherine Hanna of Bikini Kill

Out of all the reviews for the Late Transmissions album the one I was most nervous for and anticipating was from Clash magazine’s vinyl specific column. Gareth quite rightly doesn’t take any prisoners, knowing full well for music fans the cost of investing in a record in this age, and

Hearing @gorillaz at @primavera_sound on @bbc6music made me realise I hadn’t listened to their debut in such a long time. Tucked in my original vinyl for 25 years is this promo mobile, which is very cool and looks fab. Didn’t usually get promo stuff at #selectadisc as we never used posters or stuff

Thanks so much to @chrishawkinsdj at @bbc6music for playing @latetransmissions “Lightning Never Strikes Twice!” Hope the listeners enjoyed it and here’s to the first of hopefully many plays on the station! ;)

Just because i could, I didn’t stop to think if I should…3rd time meeting the legend that is Jeff Goldblum and I’ll carry on until I get the restraining order that I can frame 🙂 Like my previous encounters he’s gentle, sweet, makes everyone feel special and memorable and a playful joy to be around

Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026), the French-Iranian author and illustrator behind the popular graphic novel series and film “Persopolis,” RIP 🙏

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

I’ve just come across this bewildering mash up of my beloved Video Killed The Radio Star, Radio Gaga, With Or Without You…and random snippets of On My Radio, Radioactivity, Radio Clash and Take On Me youtu.be/c-lS_BL6_nU?...

10 years ago I got sent this #recordstoreday photo for a work’s presentation and it still makes me chuckle. Makes me think of the train sequence from Stardust Memories (or KP Nuts advert which ripped it off)

I really can't recommend this highly enough. My love of The Rhythm Divine is well known. It would fit into this album like a glove. Think Yello's sumptuous sonic cinematic groove alongside Shirley Bassey's soaring vocal. Eve Quartermaine is a seriously good singer and these are seriously good songs.
