An enduring mystery made for the Massive.

This bloke turns up in lots of 80s music videos - who was he?

Love Song:

Icehouse - Hey Little Girl:

Haircut 100 - Love Plus One:

I expect this will bring back memories for our British Cousins...

"Take a blast into the past of retro goodness with this wonderful scan photostream of the entire 1985 Argos Catalog. From vintage toys, to vintage duvets, cooking tools ... It is all great and all fun ...
Take a look back to a more funky time"

It's a flickr album, by the way:

Enjoy.

Hurts - Stay

Blue Nile - Rags to Riches

To my ears, Hurts' sonic pallette sounds like a tributary of the Nile...

Unrelated Egyptian Pun:
Cairo's Hottest New Show: Ramses Pyramid Nightmares

A good Friday afternoon video...

Clever video as well.

Urgh, enough. Two Word covers in the one year.

And there is, everywhere I turn.

Can't stand him, never liked him. Let's drop a rock on him and hope he can't crawl out from underneath it, the little poseur.

Rant over.

Not as good as my last attempt - and not featuring the work of a well known illustrator - this time it's all my own work.

Image deleted by me.

I subscribed a fortnight ago and wonder if it was in time to get this months'issue...

Loving the e-dition, by the way.

For those in the Southern Hemisphere it has been a colder, darker winter - thanks to the Word Podcast going on holidays.

Can I suggest that the Backstage podcasts are horded and then released as perfect summer fare & cures for the common cold while the worthy wordies are sunning themselves in foreign climes.

Oh, my sweet Word,
I want you in my mailbox
As quickly as the Man
Can deliver you.

But to find you squashed
Like a prince in a marsh
Or like Amy off her bits
It's off the shelf for me.
