This Talking Heads shot is genius. I have so many questions about this image I don’t know where to start.

‘Knivar’ by Lukas Nystrand is the current earworm round my way, for several reasons:
1) It ticks the wonky box
2) It funky
3) For some reason it reminds me of ’ Down Under’ by Men at Work, ‘Double Dutch’ by Malcolm McLaren and unspecified New Romantic pop and pretty much anything else from 1980-1983, while not sounding like any of them. That’s a good thing by the way.
You can buy it from the good folks at Lo Recordings on their compilation ‘Milky Disco 2’, the rest of which is pretty awesome as well.
Very excited to learn today that two of my influences (musical and visual) are teaming up for a project: Birmingham’s finest, Broadcast, and graphic designer Julian House’s band The Focus Group have teamed up for an EP. This is due out in October.
In the meantime I’ve got the Ghost Box back catalogue on heavy rotation – featuring Belbury Poly’s ‘The Willows’ in all its Radiophonic Workshop/Programmes for Schools and Colleges splendour.

Wonky in the truest and most fundamental sense of the word.
