I usually prefer Hunky Dory to Ziggy but that side two run of Hang on to Yourself/Ziggy Stardust/Suffragette City/Rock and Roll Suicide is pretty damn great.

Lots of leaking and dropping going on with music these days. No wonder the business is in such bad shape, everything's broken and full of holes.

I lived in London 30 years and never saw anyone wearing a bow tie. Now I'm in Boston and the fuckers are everywhere.

Actually, as a Brit we use the word Oriental and I'm not clear on why it's considered offensive in the States.

So what would the cover photos for 'One Direction Sell Out' look like?

There's a CSI: Leeds???? The detectives spend their time investigating  who threw up outside a kebab shop?

So they'll become Morrissey fans?

I basically blame Miller for the fact that I can't take my (TV version) Batgirl and Wonder Woman-loving 6yo daughter into a comic shop without worrying what she's going to pick up. And I don't mean cooties from the men in there.

There's an excellent BBC documentary called Synth Britannia where Daniel Miller of Mute records shows off an old piece of kit (that's the technical term) he bought on eBay that Kraftwerk used to play 'Autobahn'

"any record label that's lasted more than six months would be storing that stuff in a secure location"

They were all wiped out by Cybermen

God, that bit in that movie makes me so fucking angry I could spit every time I see it.

Noooooo. This song is terrible, the lyrics are dreadful and the tune shouldn't even qualify it as a b-side. It's the worst kind of rock and roll pseudo-revolutionary posturing which The Clash went in for too often. It's even worse than 'Bankrobber'

There was a funny nod to this in 'Curse of The Were-Rabbit' when Wallace's van radio starts playing 'Bright Eyes'

If we hadn't taken the Elgin Marbles they would probably have been destroyed like the rest of the  Acropolis.

This is also the reason The Monkees' 'Randy Scouse Git' had to be released as 'Alternate Title' in the UK as Mickey Dolenz heard the phrase in the British sitcom 'Till Death Us Do Part' (the original version of 'All In The Family") and wrote a song around it without having any idea that it was actually a bit rude.

There are dozens of accents just in London, mate!

Not as good as "Top Bollocks"

@avclub-94d231f11cdc1fae024849f33f7a7156:disqus Curtis killed himself in 1980.

He's a metal fan, which means he didn't get laid in high school and hates pretty girls for it.
