From Neil Rushton's sleeve notes on the "Out on The Floor Tonight" compilation LP...... "One of the freakiest sounds ever to pack the floor at Blackpool's Highland Room was The Crow's Your Autumn Of Tomorrow. The combination of drug induced lyrics, heavy rock thump, stomping beat and a presumably 'smashed' recording engineer add up to an offering so very different from the usual Northern Soul image. Most enthusiasts either love or hate 'Your Autumn Of Tomorrow' - personally I love it." November 1979.

More the latter. "Get that cap off, you're not a Wren!"

I've nothing against the wearing of hats as long as they're checked in at the cloakroom. Only ladies should wear hats indoors.

I wandered lonely as a Mixcloud.......

That's the ones. What really cheers me up is when a little old lady appears with a mop and bucket and promptly dispatches said powder to the sewerage system.

Another one on the white powder..... There once was a punter called Malcolm Who would cover the dance floor with talcum With his wide pants and vest And his big hairy chest Malcolm would dance on his talcum very seldom

Very profound, but where do you stand on the great talc debate?

Here's one I read earlier..... https://www.nme.com/news/hd-vinyl-is-coming-20192289508-2289508

After which you could cross over the county border to Norfolk and the Oldies All Nighter at Great Snoring.

Here's my poetic peeve - talcum powder...... Here I am on bloodied knees I just can't stay upon my feet Do I loathe it All you have to do is wear A pair of slippier shoes in there Do I loathe it From early doors til late at night The dance floors covered in patches of white Do I loathe it Wherever you lay it down I slip I pray the Lord my balance to keep And finish the dance on my two feet Do I loathe it Do I loathe it Do I loathe it, indeed I do

Got a nice surprise watching the local news today. They'd used one of my youngest lad's photographs as the background picture..... http://www.itv.com/news/border/2018-04-09/weather-looking-ahead/

He won't be appearing at the Blackpool Winter Gardens either.

Two identical posts. Is that common? It's not unusual.

Was thinking the same thing. I cringe every time I hear it.
