I'm lo-key fascinated by photos of bands where one hasn't fully committed to the image - anyone got anything better than the The Exploited 1990?

I introduced the couple getting married on the Pulp artwork. (It's a real wedding, Teddington.
Dom I knew from work, Sharon from my local in Egham. They both came to my club night in Ldn. "You two have something in common, I'll get you a drink while u work it out". /1

When I was in my early 20s the band I drummed for supported Inspiral Carpets at a launch show for 'Joe'. During our soundcheck our guitarist broke three strings. Being poor, un prepared and skint we had no replacements...

Geordie, R.I.P. Killing Joke are a vital band. A one-off musician, what a sound.
One of my first gigs: fibbing to parents, one of those Sunday nights at The Lyceum. 1981. I was 15. Doing stuff from the 2nd album, which I'd not heard. I fucking shat myself with fear.

Matt Benham stopped and said hello to me today. Blew other radio reporters away, that. As far away from a typical EPL owner as it gets. What a nice chap.

Is there any pop song in history where the singer puts SO much effort and PASSION into a totally inconsequential word as George Michael does with the "BAY BEHR" in 'Faith' immediately after the first chorus? It's one of my favourite moments in pop history.

Thank you for all the messages. It's difficult to express the gulf in class today, unless you were there. 4 nil was about right. We are a really good side with tenacity, intelligence, good management, ideas. Everything ManU lack, in fact.

I was asked by The Bluebells to support them at their first London show since 1988.
Being a total tyre-kicker as a musician, I am incredibly proud of this image, cos here I am in exhaulted company.
Me, Bobby Bluebell, Helen O'Hara, Ken McClusky, Gavin Laird and James Grant. Cool.

Hats off to Stan.
I met him once, when I was (clang) backstage DJ for Oasis at Earls Court in a bedouin tent. We had a chat about Mickie Most, Suzi Quatro and Mud. He was a great player for Rangers and for us too and a total one off. God rest his soul.

My favourite moment of the p-off final: 2 mins or so to go. We're 2 up, v 10 men. Ivan tackles back in LB pos. Guy in front of me tries to get "WE ARE GOING UP" going. Guy in front of him turned 'round and yelled "IT'S TOO EARLY!"

Brentford twitter has been so lovely tonight. At a moment on time when I'm so angry and grieving, today, when the narrative has been taken from us Bees, has been a day of wist and joy. This guy is my favourite ever Bee. Don't @ me. I've got something in my eye, OK
Farewell GP. Home of many of my fondest footballing memories and helped me rediscover my love for the game. Thankyou ⚽️ ❤.

the guy took all the strings off, polished the bare bridge, put 6 new ones on with one of those machine-head spanners, pulled them all in his fist, tightened them and tuned them with a proper tuner
and handed the guitar back, quietly and efficiently, to our guitarist...
