This is a Joey-heavy episode anyway

If you haven't read it before, go check out Michael Ironsides' Random Roles, his Highlander 2 bit is fantastic.

I wasn't even thinking of an Earth (or Mars) shattering kaboom hit from the rocks, more that you've got a big debris cloud moving at speed into a region of the solar system with a tighter packing of planetary bodies, and the possibility is there for one or two bits to hit something on Earth or Mars and do a little…

I can't believe the Sovereign recorded Station to Station!

He was shot dead by an OSI sniper while trying to escape, sadly.

The Heart's Filthy Lesson is still my favourite song of his. It hit at exactly the right time for me, when Bowie had been one of the musicians I remembered from the radio during childhood, but here he was again with a weird song that was in line with NIN and other bands I was getting into at the time. It lead to me…

Meanwhile in Ireland, some people did up pro-marraige equality stickers with Marceline and Princes Bubblegum holding hands in the run up to the referendum.
