Just started Alice Cooper's autobiography. Already I can tell its going to be excellent. This is NOT going to be the usual "wild men live crazy" rock & roll read.

Oh! The Beautiful South are trending.
Quite right.
Here's one of their magnificent cover versions.

From probably my first TV appearance.
1977 with Mark P(erry). We were doing Sniffin' Glue punk fanzine at the time. Hippest thing on the scene.
We were old school pals suddenly having a high old time suddenly being feted as scene setters.

If you are anywhere near Hull, I have a photography exhibition on at HOi, Princes Avenue this month. These photos are previously unseen for 40 plus years and were taken close by, mainly on Newland Avenue.
Thank you for looking.

On me and my daughter’s ’to do’ list too. Also gives me an excuse to post this photo of the unveiling of the Pauline Boty blue plaque at Addison Avenue in 2023 and the only time I’ll ever be in a picture with Celia, Peter Blake and Natalie Gibson.

Happy birthday Justine Frish. Time to resurrect the Polaroid I took at the 1994 Q Awards of Justine with some no-hoper who’s name I’ve forgotten

I’m just writing about attending this gig, my first trip to Eric’s with Brian Moore, singer of my first band, Psychamesh. We’d gone to see Warsaw, but they’d changed their name.
Bernard Sumner, Ian Curtis and Peter Hook of #JoyDivision backstage at Eric’s club in Liverpool November 4, 1978.

‘…all their hope & merriment snuffed out for ever, and their voices fading on the winds of thought, from memory to memory, from hour to hour, until they are no more to be recalled.’

Sassoon, journal, July 1916. How he would weep to witness their sacrifices so cheapened.

Day 2 - #whatwasIthinking 😉😂🖤
In this little gem 📸 not sure which gig we'd have been going to - any ideas @phatalstu ... but I like the new fringe for the pixie cut.... no sneaky designer wear today...borrowed me ma's Mac, love the Nina Hagen t shirt - that's a mini studded belt too plus gorgeous red fingerless gloves and 'self taken in' Levi's then so narrow at the bottom you could hardly get your feet through 😂🧥😁😍😎❤️🖤🤍

Stourbridge in the 1970s by John Myers.
I love his work.
He admired August Sander, Diane Arbus and Eugene Atget, and it certainly shows in his portraiture.

Yet again @CollettWriter showing what a great chronicler and insightful commentator on punk she is as she guests on this Punkast podcast. Includes readings from the manuscript of her much anticipated book 'What Do I Get?'. Come on publishers, get on it!

Pope started his memoir after coming across an old answerphone message from David Bowie . “It was like David was speaking to me from beyond the grave, because I never said goodbye to him,” he says. “I realised I’d been around all these amazing things.”
