In London, January 1968 (photos by Evening Standard/Hulton Archive/Getty Images, Chris Walter, and Pictorial Press Ltd./Alamy Stock Photo). Photo 4, an entry to the Monkee Faces contest, by David and Paul Owen from Newcastle.

"Peter Tork examines entries to NME’s Monkee Faces contest [the prizes were copies of Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones Ltd.] […]. ‘Hey, what went wrong there?’ And he indicated the crazy drawing [pictured above]. ‘That’s good of Davy,’ he chortled. [...] When [NME editor] Andy [Gray] suggested Peter judge the contest in his stead, Peter remarked: ‘Not me. I’d hate to say which should win. I’d pick them all.’” - NME, January 13, 1968 (x)

"[T]he Peter Tork who peacefully sat cross-legged on a table in a small room at Decca’s Regent Street offices was Peter Tork, no acting, no clowning — just a singularly intelligent young man with a surprisingly (when you think of the TV character) wide vocabulary. ‘I don’t know why it is. I just seem to have been born with a large vocabulary and now I’m stuck with it!’ [...] At BBC-TV in Shepherd’s Bush few people knew when he was due to arrive, and literally no one knew when he would leave. I have the strong feeling that Peter would dearly love to be a normal independent human being, and be able to talk to people without the continual hustling by photographers, British representatives and general bodyguards. On more than one occasion, armed with his own camera, he turned the tables on unsuspecting photographers, most of whom didn’t really appreciate the subtlety of the Tork sarcasm.” - David Hughes, Disc and Music Echo, January 13, 1968 (x)

"My last sight of him [after the press reception had ended] was a smiling figure signing autographs for fans in the rain, each one with a ‘Love from Peter Tork’ and a flower. And the sweet smell from the joss stick smoldering in his hand was still with me as I walked away.” - June Southworth, Fabulous 208, January 17, 1968 (x)

The Mimic

"I started out as a ghost writer," Loretta began. "Well, I was a baby, first of all - something smaller, even earlier, you might argue. A zygote? But, yes, professionally speaking, ghost writing was my first real job. That's what you're after, right?"

"Yes - by all means, let's speak professionally." Rosalba said coldly, her pen still poised and ready to begin, her notepad not yet troubled by its nib. "But that doesn't answer the question."

"Last night, I know, I know," her subject replied; clearly used to being paid by the word. "I'm just giving some background - a bit of flavour, you know? I'm sure in medias res is all the rage when it comes to writing an engaging article, but I'm a novelist in speech as much as type, and there's nothing wrong with a bit of chronology. I'd always want to start at the start, with the origin story, rather than saving it for a prequel that might never come. Now, if you wouldn't mind humouring me for just a minute-"

"Sorry," Rosalba interrupted, without a hint of apology on her lips, "but what exactly do you think this is?"

"You said you wanted an interview?"

"Yes, in connection with the death of Mr Angus McIntyre."

"Oh, yes, such a a tragedy, I adored The Death List." Realising the shift in tone, Loretta paused, confused as to her interviewer's aim. "So wait, was all of that not true? Why else would you be here?"

"I'm here to interview you with the police." Detective Rosalba Gutiérrez paused, already exhausted. "Are you saying you thought that would make a magazine want to profile you? About someone else's death?"

"Well, sorry if that comes across as narcissistic," Loretta said. "I don't get much publicity, you see. I'm used to working in the shadows."

Rosalba nodded. Many murderers were.

"It's just likely that the sequels will come to me. Everything else does, right? It's a famous series, unfinished, and obviously the publishers would like to keep it going. I've worked with them before. There's no deal in place yet, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone asked me about it."

That was the rest of her backstory. Loretta had started out as a ghost-writer, knocking out autobiographies for a handful of minor celebrities, where 'auto' meant they sometimes briefed her in the car. She'd learnt to write a simile in another woman's shoes, talk in her voice, consider how her upbringing might impact her use of this word or that. She knew the weight of birthplace, class and education, Oxford commas and Newcastle full stops.

She'd been very good at it. After the first few attempts, Loretta had made quite a name for herself within the industry, even if she always used another nom de plume. It transpired that she had a spectacular gift for mimicry. Most budding writers worked until they found their own style, but Loretta had soon discovered that she none: instead, she bore an uncanny ability to imitate others. She was an impressionist, a mould, a mirror. A lexical chameleon.

But when imitating living writers, for all her talent as vernacular ventriloquist, Loretta's role was limited. Her skills served only to write on their behalf; or, when they turned her down, she won her revenge in producing knock-off versions in their style, or cutting parodies which captured them in their entirety. But even that felt like a poor part to play, when she could just wait to take over the whole thing.

It had been a publisher's idea. She had been ghost-writing a series for a TV actor turned 'author', who had turned their hand to writing for one-and-a-half novels before growing bored and moving on, when they'd suddenly passed away in a freak golfing accident. They'd suggested she finish the manuscript she'd been working on at the time, to be published posthumously, and she'd tried to wrap up the series as best she could.

But it had done incredibly well, and had fans weeping in the knowledge there were no sequels to come, no resolution of this arc or that, the death of a series inspiring as many mourners as the passing of the man whose name was on the cover. The publishing house had taken one look at such an untapped well of raw demand, and decided it would be a shame to close up shop just yet: they'd suggested she 'take over' the books as an up-and-coming author, as others had done for bestselling series before.

The rest was history. Those who'd worked with Loretta on other projects knew her way with other people's words, and she started to be hired to finish series she'd never worked on before, with the ability to write them in exactly the style of the original. She was the one they turned to when an author died, to keep the ink and the revenue flowing. To take up their pen, and sometimes their mantle, at the appropriate juncture, after a suitable pause to grieve - and sometimes not even that.

In literature, as in film, it was seen that the show must always go on - the studios weren't above recasting the lead with a lookalike to finish the job, and now publishing houses could do the same. Loretta was still a ghost writer, in a way, but now in the sense that the author whose characters she wore, whose flourishes she took up as her own, were the ghosts; and she the living vessel, channelling their spirit, her typewriter guided as fingers tracing on a Ouija board.

She became them like never before; Loretta trained herself to be a method actor, to read only her subject's words, to write only her facsimiles. She learnt all that she could about their lives, their influences - her works had to capture some part of their departed essence, every line a eulogy, a final testament. It was more pressured, this way. Not only were they not around to proof-read the result, to correct any mis-steps, but she bore the weight of their souls on her conscience. She had to do them justice.

Sometimes the families helped her with fidelity, able to share that precious background, other correspondence, and read through her first draft. Sometimes, to Loretta's surprise, she found herself able to help them in return: they read her books and heard their loved one's voice beyond the grave, a sense of humour they'd forgotten, all of those little remarks and idiosyncrasies that brought them for a moment back to life.

A grief-stricken few had asked for more - farewell letters in a husband's hand, a father's missed wedding speech - but Loretta always turned them down. It was one thing keeping the deceased's memory alive, but another to try to replace them, to put words into their mouths beyond the realm of fiction. She could supplant the things they wrote that weren't real, to entwine her lies into theirs, but she would never seek to overwrite their truth.

Her adopted series were widely successful - sometimes more so than the author had been in life - but the fame and fortune increased Loretta's sense of guilt. If she sold more copies than others, she knew, it was only because she scavenged from the shoulder bones of giants. She sometimes felt a sort of graveyard ghoul, leeching the remaining warmth from one host before she moved onto the next. But this was all that she could do. This was what she was best at.

"Exactly," Rosalba said. It wasn't often that a suspect freely admitted their own motive. "That's why I'm here. It strikes me that you had the most to gain from Mr McInytre's death."

"Wait, what? You think he was killed?"

"His car was found at the bottom of a lake near to his home, with his body suspended inside of it. Drowned. The coroner has not yet ruled out suicide, or death by misadventure, but we are treating it as suspicious, yes. Enquiries are ongoing."

"And you came straight to me?"

"Almost," Rosalba said. "We spoke to his publishers first - they were upset at losing their golden goose, and seemingly had no motive to wish Mr McIntyre dead. We asked them for a list of potential alternatives, and your name came up. On top of the list, as it happens. Shall I ask the question again?"

"Sorry," Loretta said, feeling her way into the detective's exhausted, matter-of-fact tone, as if trying a new jacket on for size. "But I'm going to need a little more information. You've only spoken to the publishers, who you think have the all clear, before me? Other than the coroner, and your colleagues, is there anybody else who is aware of Mr McIntyre's death?"

"Well, the killer, presumably." Rosalba shifted in her seat, clearly discomfited by the shift in her suspect's tone, like the distorted echo from the bottom of a well. People didn't tend to like to hear their own reflection. "Unless you're including them in that group of people, in which case I'm interested to know where."

"Are you sure about that?" Loretta continued. "I mean, think about it. A car pushed into a lake. If one of your other suspects did that, could they really know for sure that he had drowned? A miraculous escape is possible, right? Even if they stayed to make sure, he could have held his breath, found a pocket of air, until the rescue arrived. Unlikely, sure, but possible."

"What exactly are you arguing here? That it couldn't be you, because you'd have murdered him more thoroughly?"

"No, it wasn't me. But if you've got your list of suspects, I'd be happy to help you bait out the real killer, if you can keep the death quiet for a few hours more. Just pass me a copy of one of his books, and I'll find a pen and paper."

"Wait - you're going to pretend to be him, and write to each of them, to say what? I know it was you? You won't get away with this?" Rosalba was long since out of her depth. This interview had slipped away from her from the moment she'd stepped foot inside this house. "And hope that they'll believe it's really him?"

"That's right," Loretta said, already searching for her pen. "Haven't you ever resurrected anyone before?"

'Uh, To Steve Wright … Burn In Hell - FOREVER!' (Hang The DJ! Hang The DJ! Hang The DJ!)

Every Toy Dolls fan in the world has long waited for this day.

We don't forgive, and we don't forget.

Steve Wright was an atypical ultra-prick who believed if you weren't wearing the latest fashions and poodle haircuts you shouldn't be even allowed outside. Toadying to rich 'artists' and rich record labels, whilst using his platform on BBC Radio One (paid for by the general public via taxation) to sneer at every independent act on the block.

Lampooned by Viz Comic in Steve Wright and His Sycophantic Shite, the band The Smiths even tore the f**ker a new one on one of their biggest hits 'Panic!' when he started having a good at them largely because Steve Wright thought Morrissey was gay (a frequent running theme of this odious creep on his radio shows and TV appearences - at least until gay bashing because very 'uncool' upon the death of Freddie Mercury from AIDS).

What seemed to particularly annoy Wright and the rest of the London ivory tower set in the so-called 'affluent eighties' was acts daring to talk about like outside of tinseltown London. The world he wished would just go away - unless it was to clean his house or sell him a burger.

Much of the rest of the country, especially north of the Watford Gap, lived in poverty and squalor - the world bands like the Smiths and the Toy Dolls came from, and each in their own way sang about.

People like the Toy Dolls' 'Dougy Giro', about a young homeless man from Hendon, like so many in the north east at that time (and little has changed).

'You can't guess what life for Dougy is like, he wakes up in the street, No home, no bed, he says he's lucky That he can smile and be happy ...'

Wright's ire towards the Toy Dolls was due to their surprise Christmas 1984 double A-Side hit 'Nellie The Elephant' and especially 'Fisticuffs In Frederick Street' which lampooned Newcastle's Fosters Club - an atypical 'Meat Market' where youngsters on minimum wage wearing clothes they'd gone heavily into credit card debt for drunk overpriced 'designer' beers and cocktails because glossy magazines and celeb culture lied to them this is what they needed to do to become 'successful in life'

(Needless to say it didn't, and most who bought into that crap wound up broke and broken by their thirties).

'Fosters Club was full up to the brim. Everybody risking life and limb and just to go and pose at the disco but posing wasn't easy. and the D.J. he got queasy, blow by blow...'

The sort of lifestyle talentless pricks like Wright on fat BBC contracts cheerfully promoted as 'aspirational'.

Suffice to say, violence outside these clubs became increasingly prevailent from a heady combination of alcohol mixed with dreams vaporising in the cold realities of a nation where selfishness and shallowness had become increasingly prevailant.

Little wonder Morrissey retorted to Wright in 'Panic.'

'Burn down the disco, Hang the blessed DJ! Because the music that they constantly play, It says nothing to me about my life. Hang the blessed DJ! Because the music they constantly play ...

On the Leeds side streets that you slip down, Provincial towns you jog 'round,

"Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ!" '

youtube

And now this sevile sycophant, awash in his own self pity, has croaked it on the eve of the Toy Dolls latest world tour - bloody marvellous timing!

Good riddance, you sycophantic shite!

My earliest encounter with football; soccer for anyone reading from the States, was watching highlights of the English Premier League games with my dad on Wednesday nights, courtesy Rothmans Pall Mall. This show was something I looked forward to, because it was something I alone shared with my dad. Prior to this time, I did not particularly love football, it was something I saw adults go crazy over and I never understood why. I remember one time when I asked my dad whilst watching an Arsenal highlight, if Arsene Wenger was the owner of the club, this question I am sure many have asked; to which he laughed and replied in the negative. It was through this show that I got conversant with the Premier League teams; Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool. The world cup in France in 1998 further solidified my love for the game, I followed every match from the opening game to the final game, my dad would come home after work and ask me the scores and I would happily tell him. France 98 was the first time I got to watch any match live, yes there was Atlanta 96, two years prior but most of the games were at midnight and we were not allowed to stay up after 9 pm. I fell in love with Manchester United watching highlights and news reports about the team, I loved seeing Giggs with his bushy chest and the mazy runs of David Beckham, the latter more than the former, cos back then David was the face of Manchester United. So when I started playing football, I drew the number 7 on my sportswear and the name Kanu. In 95 I was a lanky, skinny kid, so being called Kanu was just expected. My notebooks were filled with badges I drew of clubs I knew from watching sports news on CNN, I was fascinated by these teams but I still hadn’t any access to watching any European games live. That would change in 2003 when I left for the university and I met Atom, my small but mighty roommate, who was an ardent Chelsea fan and loved football to the T. He took me to a viewing centre for the first time to go watch Roman Abrahimovic’s marauding army. Viewing centres are popular in Nigeria, it is a small shack made out of woods, metal zincs or plastic tarps, they tend to be very hot, especially in the afternoons and if the owner was buoyant enough, they often had a fan or two to ameliorate the situation. Watching matches in viewing centres was both fun and chaotic; it was a banter field and anyone was susceptible, just pray your team does not have a bad day or other patrons would have a field day with you. Before sports betting became a thing and sort of created a neutral ground for all football fans, viewing centres could be very volatile, one minute you were laughing and rejoicing, next minute you were being beaten blue black by rival fans. In fact there have been reported cases of fan deaths in viewing centres but we still braved it because they were the only way we could get to see our beloved teams play. Prepaid cable TV was expensive then, still is, so if you couldn’t afford to pay for one, then you had no choice but to go to a viewing centre. I remember watching the reverse fixture of a Champions league tie with AC Milan which United lost after being outmatched by a Kaka masterclass; that incidence between Gabby Heinze and Patrice Evra colliding into each other after being turned around by the diminutive Brazilian magician made every United fan in that hot room a butt of cruel jokes. I went home and could not touch my meal, I was so heartbroken. Football does that to you, one minute you are ecstatic the next, you feel like someone just ripped your heart out. Football for some of us is where we go to hide and forget the struggles of our everyday lives, where we seek solace. We get to walk out with our favourite team onto the pitch and rejoice with them when they win. We follow them through 38 league games and 11 European night games, if we are lucky! We cry when they lose, refusing to eat, sometimes doing things that may seem abnormal to others. Football is practically a religion for some of us. So imagine how I fe...

RIDE Shares New Single "Last Frontier" + Announces NA, UK, and IRE Tour

Ride reveals their latest single “Last Frontier,” marking the second preview from their upcoming seventh album, Interplay, scheduled for release on March 29 via Wichita Recordings / PIAS. With the launch of this single, the band from Oxford announces tours across North America, the UK, and Ireland. They will begin their tour in North America in May, shortly after “Interplay” is released, followed by performances in the UK and Ireland in September, featuring a notable show at London’s Roundhouse. Tickets will be available for purchase at 10am on Friday through their official website. “Last Frontier” showcases a gradually intensifying ethereal beat, blending a rich tapestry of sounds with timeless indie craftsmanship. Guitarist and vocalist Andy Bell comments on the song’s evolution, noting it as an initially overlooked piece from their first jam session at Mark’s OX4 Studio. It was the insight of their producer, Richie Kennedy, that recognized the song’s potential, leading to a complete overhaul at Vada studio, aiming for a raw, Joy Division-like foundation. Bell experimented with various vocal styles during recording, seeking spontaneity and innovation in his delivery. This approach, he admits, was a departure from his usual method, offering a blend of meticulous composition and on-the-fly creativity that he aims to pursue further. “Interplay” represents Ride’s third album since their 2014 reunion, marking a period where the band has spent more time together in this second era than during their initial phase as ‘90s shoegaze icons. Following “Weather Diaries” (2017) and “This Is Not A Safe Place” (2019), the album aims to ignite the band’s legacy anew, appealing to longstanding fans while captivating a new generation. The album, co-produced with Richie Kennedy and mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer, bridges the gap across their career. It reimagines the energetic guitar work, mesmerizing rhythms, and melodic allure of their early days within a broader, more vibrant sonic landscape, drawing inspiration from ’80s pop icons like Tears For Fears, Talk Talk, and early U2. Upcoming Tour Dates: 5/11 - Boston, MA @ Big Night Live 5/13 - Montreal, QB @ Theatre Fairmount 5/14 - Toronto, ON @ Concert Hall 5/15 - Detroit, MI @ Majestic Theatre 5/16 - Chicago, IL @ Metro 5/17 - Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line 5/19 - Denver, Colorado @ Gothic Theater 5/22 - Vancouver, BC @ Commodore Ballroom 5/23 - Portland, OR @ Mission Theater 5/25 - Seattle, WA @ Showbox 9/2 - Belfast, UK @ Limelight 9/3 - Dublin, Ireland @ Olympia 9/4 - Cork, Ireland @ Cyprus Avenue 9/6 - Sheffield, UK @ Leadmill 9/7 - Newcastle, UK @ Boilershop 9/8 - Glasgow, UK @ SWG 3 TV Studio 9/10 - Liverpool, UK @ Invisible Wind Factory 9/12 - Leeds, UK @ Stylus 9/13 - Manchester, UK @ New Century 9/14 - Bristol, UK @ SWX 9/16 - Falmouth, UK @ Princess Pavilions 9/17 - Portsmouth, UK @ Guildhall 9/18 - Brighton, UK @ Chalk 9/20 - London, UK @ Roundhouse 9/21 - Wolverhampton, UK @ Wulfrun Halls 9/22 - Cambridge, UK @ Junction Read the full article
