More record shops should do this. It would save everybody a lot of trouble in the long run.

This in from Word reader Ken Jones:

Ken writes: is Keith Richards antique? Is Peter Green Chilled? How more appropriate can these be? Answer - none more.

There must be one or two more readers out there who have spotted adjectivally relevant rocking jobs?

A few people have mentioned this. On the left, Kate Bush on the cover of the new edition of The Word. On the right, Sharbat Gula, owner of the most famous pair of eyes to ever grace the front of the National Geographic. A knowing tribute, or mere coincidence? One thing's for sure: neither Kate, nor the photographer (Kate's brother John) are letting on.

Just when you thought there were no more genres left to invent, along come BabyMetal. They're an offshoot of Japanese pop outfit Sakura Gakuin, and they combine schoolgirlish J-Pop with death metal. Which is almost exactly what I've been waiting for.

After Fenerbache fans invaded the pitch during a friendly game against Shakhtar Donetsk, the Turkish FA punished the club by forcing them to play their next two games behind closed doors. Then someone had the bright idea of just banning men from one of games, but allowing women and children to attend. The result? 41,000 of them filling the stadium and - judging by the footage below - having the time of their lives. I love this.

Here's Word reader jimmyshoes01 (right) and SuperSizeArt creator Morgan Howell (left), who visited the Word office just now. They were here so that Morgan could present jimmy with his own SuperSize45, an exact replica of jimmy's father's copy of Georgie Fame's Peaceful, his prize from a recent Word competition. So congratulations to jimmy, and thanks to Morgan. The rest of us will try and conceal our jealousy.

Apologies for the site downtime this morning and on Saturday night/Sunday morning. It's not a problem with the site, or with our server, but a networking issue at our web hosts, which I hope they've now resolved.

To the right is the front cover of issue four of Fattening Frogs For Snakes, a rhythm and blues fanzine published in Nottinghamshire in the early 90s.

It features a live review of David "Honeyboy" Edwards, who died earlier this week. It's got an interview with Charlie Musselwhite. It takes a look back at the career of Blind Lemon Jefferson. And it was produced in a bedroom in Burton Joyce.

We think there must be hundreds of these publications, 'zines that never reached the heights of Sniffin' Glue but still provide a fascinating snapshot of a moment in time, and perhaps led their authors to places they may not otherwise have visited. We'd like to hear about them.

So if you ever ran a low-key fanzine, or you know someone who did, we'd like to hear from you. Drop a line to fanzines@wordmagazine.co.uk with a few details, and we'll get right back to you. You may end up featuring in a future issue of The Word.

Those of you who took the time to our SuperSize Art competition will no doubt be devastated to learn that the first prize has been picked up by blog regular jimmyshoes01. This was his entry:

Artist: Georgie Fame
Title: Peaceful
I once found a bag of vinyl in the back of my parents’ wardrobe and finally saw into father's soul. He would visit us occasionally from Naval service and it was hard to know who he was. The discovery of fifty 7"s brought us closer together over the next twenty years as we talked and sang over rum. I still think about the 1000lb bomb that landed on his ship during the Falklands War that didn't explode and how the crew’s relief manifested itself in this beautiful recording that bears Fame's printed name and a sticker that bears my dad’s.

Word editor Mark Ellen, who picked the winner, says of the entry, "It's very thoughtful and touching. So much history compressed into one record - some of which it appears to wear on its sleeve. And it's got rum in it, never a bad thing."

Congratulations to jimmyshoes01, and thanks to everyone who took the time to enter.

We're taking to the river this Sunday for our Word On The Water excursion, and we need a suitably nautical soundtrack.

Add your suggestions in the comments, and we'll add them to the official Spotify Playlist, which will then be played onboard. Sea shanties and songs glorifying life on an ocean wave are encouraged.

In Typically Tropical's 1975 smash hit Barbados, Captain Tobias Wilcock welcomes psassengers aboard "Coconut Airways flight 372 to Bridgetown Barbados." Meanwhile, there's a version of Fela Kuti's Ololufe Mi in which a stewardess greets listeners on "flight 002 to Africa".

Are there any more examples of fake airline passenger announcements being used to set the tone of a song?
