I like the robots, I like The Go-Betweens, Godzilla and proper Avengers. FC United founder member. Salfordian on the up in Prestwich, Lancashire. Aristocat person. Fanzine lover. Shove AI up your arse.

The Doc, Zoony the Lazoon, Big Steve and Venus at the helm of Fireball XL5.
Kermit the Frog with a milk moustache.
The shell of a cassette tape. 'SLUMB PARTY' is the only text. It sits above a picture of roses. It is monochrome.
John Steed, as played by Patrick Macnee, tipping his bowler hat.
The sleeve of The Chameleons LP, 'Script of the bridge' which features coloured pencil drawings of a crying pale face bi-sected by a rainbow, a dead tree, the Peel monument above Bury, a fuck knows what and a bridge (wow!) stretching into infinity. The title and artwork completely invoke second-generation prog acts like Pendragon, Marillion or fellow Mancunians I.Q. I hate it.
Handwritten three day line-up for Manchester Popfest 2026.
El Ojo, como un globo extraño... (1882) by Odilon Redon.
A telegraph pole on the edge of a field. It has been cut down to about three feet high and is weather-beaten. Covering the entire top are the remains of a wood pigeon. The head and all edible parts of the torso are missing. It looks like it has been flattened by a mighty force.
Big green sex god.
A large sign, with a danger symbol in a yellow triangle, the word 'Danger!' below it, highlighted in yellow. A white exclamation mark, surrounded by a blue circle is below it. Below that is the text 'Keep Out' in white on a blue rectangular background. At the bottom is the United Utilities logo and the strapline, 'helping life flow smoothly'. The word 'Danger!' has been crossed out by two lines of marker pen and 'safe' has been written in. 'Keep Out' has been similarly crossed out and the words 'go in' have been added in marker pen, beneath.
A picture emulating the opening credits of Deep Space Nine with the episode title "I THINK I'M A BIT LATE TO THIS GAME..."
A hard cover comix book by Kim Deitch entitled 'How I Make Comics'. The cartooned cover is bright and features depictions of Deitch (at his drawing desk) with wife, Pam (her hand supportingly on his shoulder). Some details are picked out in silver ink.
A pencil drawing on paper of a woman's face. She is wearing a hat. She has dark hair, drawn back under the hat. One eye is slightly bigger than the other. Words do not do it justice.
A 'teddy stack' by the artist Mike Kelley.
Beano wallpaper adorns one wall of the downstairs toilet 'somewhere in Prestwich'.
'Rats Tits!' written on a metal door using what looks like tape.
Two copies of The Go-Betweens LP, 'Before Hollywood'.
Seven cassette tapes by the seven acts mentioned in the post.
Four white star-shaped flowers with seven spiked petals a piece. In natural surroundings.
