After writing this I realized this project is going to be intense, haha

Gail's work is reliably excellent:

What a terrific idea!

This was gonna be the last thing I hang on my Christmas tree, but it keeps on telling me to add just one more thing.

Today’s post out from www.etsy.com/shop/8bitnorthxstitch inc. Bowie, The Beatles, Altered Images, Adam Ant, Bay City Rollers, Are You Being Served? and League of Gentlemen. There’ll be a HUGE restock next week with lots of card designs old and new.

This little beaut with the frog eyed Hogan is still available here: www.chloecumming.com/wrestlerdraw...

"Bond was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, Moneypenny, Q, and the chief mourner. M signed it. And M’s name was good upon ‘Change for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Bond was as dead as a doornail

Forgot I did this for you

Xmas cards will be on sale in a week- something old, something new, something weird and something blue.

Here are my small drawings of albums I’ve listened to this week, including new purchases from @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social and @logofiasco.bsky.social. I was very pleased with the squashed Neil Young face in the corner of ‘American Stars ‘n Bars’.

Dreaming of You: The Making of The Coral (2025). Fantastic film by James Slater about music, friendship and the power of imagination. Do see it if ya can.

Another pencil crayon study. This was quite tricky and it’s not really finished, but I’m really enjoying using real pencils.

This cleverly repositions all the other Hey Kids Rock ‘n’Roll mobile decorations - Joni Mitchell, Quentin Crisp, Sade, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, even Nick and Nora… - as the guest star killer Columbo has to pin down.

One last Sunday evening bump for this, thank you so much to everyone who has already shared/purchased/generally spread the word, it really helps a bunch.

Floella Benjamin for DG.

An honor of my life to write Cyndi Lauper’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction essay! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

This is fantastic

Someone must've done THE ARTIST for MERLY KNOWN AS PRINCE. I don't know how I'd search it but...meh, there we go. #thatZorhanMemeThing

Just when you couldn’t love Prince more.

Was a brilliant night. Both bands on top form, as was @petepaphides.bsky.social. And the crowd? Exceptional.

Joyous gig from The Felt Tips tonight. So much fun! @unspunheroes.com

NEW! Columbo Decorations! Celebrating perhaps the greatest tv detective. They can be sent as cards and hung as decorations, the versatility is astounding! Just one more thing...head on over to heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com for these and LOADS of other quality merchandise.

Tonight!

They’re running Under Milk Wood as originally broadcast, for the first time, this weekend on R4 Extra. Obviously, it’s brilliant. And I highly recommend a listen. It still sounds amazing; truly timeless. The most dated bit is the credits - but, oh, those character names.

Lord Mayor's show on telly, proper fever dream of weirdness. Huge inflatable meat! Big old hats! A massive, magical tap!

Sauce. @heykidsshop.bsky.social

I can also say that @petepaphides.bsky.social will be there spinning some tunes. He's DJ-ing at The Social earlier in the day, too, so why not do both? Make a day of it! Anyway, also album/ticket bundles are here, saving you some dosh: unspunheroes.bandcamp.com/album/living...

Indiepop fans, this is for you! Tomorrow evening a night of indiepop wonder at The Betsy Trotwood in Farringdon. Yes, The Felt Tips ably supported by the excellent The Understudies. Also, @heykidsshop.bsky.social is coming along and I have free badges. www.tickettailor.com/events/thefe...

Happy birthday to Joni Mitchell! (I'm led to believe she has seen - and approved of (!) - this decoration, which is MAD.)

Nigella would be ace on Traitors.

Celebrity Traitors then. What a terrific bit of telly.

Gutted to learn Gilson Lavis has left the material world. Squeeze has been such a formative influence & inspiration on me since I was a teenager, and it was a privilege to have seen him play with them live so many times (and with Jools Holland solo, where I took this). An incredible drummer. RIP 🙏🥁

watch out, you could be missing some of my (very good, witty, fascinating) posts such as "please buy some bastard christmas decorations from heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com. you twits!"
