(2/4) ...Television’s story in full, with artful digression into Richard Hell/ Voidoids and Heartbreakers and Tom Verlaine’s spellbinding solo career. Not least, how he could light up the room with a guest spot like this one:

(3/3) No less strong on BBC2 on UK tour backing John Lee Hooker in 1964. You see his thumbnail a lot. JLH used to spit out the window on windy drives, spraying the lads in the back seat. https://t.co/5CGxVumbzk RIP: a musician on whom Mark Smith and Steve Malkmus could agree.

(1/3) Saddened by the passing of Tony “TS” McPhee this week, who began to psych/blues my mind at Brighton Richmond in July 1987 and never completely stopped.

New @uncutmagazine is on the loose. I spoke to several concerned parties who spoke incisively about their role in The Fall's magnificent, unstable 1982. Marc Jones found the spooky live shot, and I placed the magazine on the floor to entice you yet further.
