RIP KK - hard to appropriately sum up the euphoric mood on Tyneside on King Kev’s arrival on 19th August 1982, other than quite honestly the closest thing I’ll experience in my lifetime to a second coming of Christ.
Creator of the first seven inch single I ever bought with my own money! There'll never be another voice of passion and drama like this lass. RIP.

Loathe though I am to get into TV nostalgia here, bracing to countenance the pre-internet mayhem of Laurie Pike's anarchic 1991 phone-in show Ring My Bell, which it transpires was even more demented than I remember it
a) Rewatching Mad Men atm and realised one of the plummy Putnam Powell & Love lads was the titular character in this b) Peter Cushing’s last screen role c) Contains a ‘sound weapon’ that is well TG-industrial in aspect
