Steve 'interesting' Davis has released his first album

This is not a joke.

So, Steve Davis, plus musicians from Gong, The Cardiacs and Coil?

This is surely a must-buy.

What next?

Stephen Hendry, Caravan, Henry Cow and Lustmord?

I know he's a big fan of Magma. scared

I also hated him smirking his way to victory in the Benson and Hedges world Snooker Cups in the 80s.

I quite like him now, scared

He's the reason me and my friends heard of and got into Magma in the first place.

I went to the V*rgin Megastore and bought Köhntarkösz.

Also, he bankrolled a few tours for them in the late '80s and I went with a friend to one at the Bloomsbury Theatre in 1989.

Cardi B denied trademark for 'okurrr' catchphrase

Cardi had hoped to use the distinctive trilling exclamation on a range of merchandise.

Cardi herself had described the phrase as being like saying OK, “but OK is played out”.

Cardi B is not a type of cardigan.
