  1. 40 years ago this week, "Pretty In Pink" by #PsychedelicFurs entered the #Top100 at 90. It peaked at 41 on 31 May 1986. I didn't know that the film was named after the song, not vice versa. You've probably heard that the film originally ended with Andie and Duckie getting together, and was reshot after test audiences booed. TIL that the novelization was completed before the reshoot, so it has the original ending. youtube.com/watch?v=nu0sYQRECkY #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

  2. I have a busy month of gigs ahead - ✅ means I have a ticket, ❔means I am interested.

    I might see #ArtOfThis if they haven't sold out (#ArtOfNoise rhythm section plus Paul Morley and Ian Peel). I have a ticket for a #TrevorHorn talk at the Haymarket in Basingstoke (the last time I was there was to see a Philip Glass opera), #ProlapseBand at the Lexington (normally horrible craft beer), #PsychedelicFurs at the London Palladium, and #AdamAnt in #Basingstoke.
