Alien spaceship lights up West Pier

For many people Brighton’s West Pier is a relic from a bygone age, a victim of arson, a landmark failure of common decency in the face of greed and corruption.

It is a little known fact that, since its demise on 11th May 2003, it has been anything but a victim or a failure. It was requisitioned as an antenna for guiding alien spaceships to the Brighton Pride festival where aliens could blend in seamlessly with the LGBTQ+ community and enjoy their time on Earth without fear of discrimination or harassment.

Stonewall has denied that requests have been made to have a more inclusive gender categorisation encompassing carbon-based life forms from other planets that have more than two sexes. The woke debate continues apace.

Re-release of Delhicatescence

This track has been remastered to bring out the voices using a new dynamic filter called Trackspace. That and a few other tweaks here and there. This is a trial version for assessment in different environments and on different equipment – and different ears. Comments welcome.

Kerala, 1998

Note: this audio file is constantly being updated, so it’s likely a later version than you last heard.

New York Virgins outed as “non-binary”

The binary star system, known to astronomers as “NY Virginis” and discovered in 2011, has identified as non-binary after it was observed that its companion is just a large planet and not the red dwarf described in the literature. Classified as a “B-type hot subdwarf”, offensive on so many levels, NY Virginis will henceforth be known as NYV-A, with preferred personal pronouns they, them, their, theirs. [Surely these are plural…? Ed.]

New Money

Herewith final version of my new track “Money”, based on the original “Money (That’s What I Want)” by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford, also recorded by The Beatles in 1963. This is one of my all time favourite tracks and one I’ve been meaning to pay tribute to for a long time. Enjoy!

This is the official release now, though I may make it into a video…

Brighton Scotch Eggs

The controversial Brighton Scotch Eggs were removed from Edinburgh Castle by James VI of Scotland when he acceded to the throne of England and Ireland as James I in 1603. The government of Scotland is now demanding their return, but Brighton and Hove City Council is asking for compensation of £48 million to pay for debts built up by the troubled i360 attraction. Plans for the taxpayer to save the eggs were nearly scotched by a backbench revolt of Conservative MPs who have now been left with considerable egg on face as the rest of the party voted overwhelmingly in favour. The Scottish government has yet to comment.
