It’s just one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
Our friend Matthew Kilford will probably get to play at Glastonbury this year, but only if you vote for him. He’s the chap above, if you were wondering. Click clicky.

JEN OLIVE ISN’T A TERRORIST. BUT IF SHE WAS, SHE’D PROBABLY BE THE BEST TERRORIST IN THE WORLD.
Warm Robot is the new album from Jen Olive. It’s released through Andy Partridge’s APE records (see March issue of the mag), so you already know it’s good.
Jen was born in California, and despite several low-key records under various names, this is her first proper release. She sounds a bit like (and at the least parallels the ability of) Bjork, so we can only assume from her incredible talent that she is as good at staying off the radar as Osama Bin Laden. Sort of. I mean, Osama has never actually sent us a demo tape or anything.. but on this hungover Saturday morning, discovering Jen Olive feels rather more important than finding some old guy in a turban.

BBC came up with the goods last night with a showing on 1985 classic ‘Weird Science’. If you haven’t caught it yet, I’ll put aside the fact we can obviously never be friends, and give you a plot summary:
A couple of kids use their 80’s home computer (that would probably struggle to power Pong) to turn a barbie doll and a bunch of magazine clippings into Kelly LeBrock. Bonus. Anyway, she has all sorts of strange superpowers and naturally, cinematic genius ensues..
God the 80s were good.
A fine slice of Coldwave-influenced electronic pop. Seek out the album.
Tomorrow brings our monthly Riffs bar night, and as always they’ll be many good times for free. This months line-up includes Plastic Fiction, Polly and the Kettles, In Fates Hands and The Shuffle.
Doors are at 8pm.
