In a Twitterstorm with Piers thingy that's gone balastic, Little Mix have been photoshopped by the unpaid intern, apparently.

[Butterfield]

So thought provoking.

...In that it's making me feel ill.

The KLF's Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond have a new project - building a pyramid using bricks containing the ashes of Cauty's artist brother Simon, who killed himself in 2016.

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/dec/14/shakira-charged-with-tax-evasion-in-spain

Spanish prosecutors have charged the Colombian singer and philanthropist Shakira with tax evasion, alleging she avoided €14.5m (£13m) in taxes by claiming to live in the Bahamas while actually resident in Catalonia.

So that would explain the rioting over Catalonia, they want to get their hands on Shakira's sweet sweet cash.

[Guest]

Something something Lucky that my tax returns are small and humble, So you don't confuse them with honest remuneration.

I wonder who would win in a fight between Bob Dylan and Neil Young?

Young's got the height and is younger, but does he have the fight in him?

Actually, he's an old hippy, they can be some of the most aggressive angry people you'll ever have the misfortune to meet.

So I'm guessing R. Kelly is now officially off the menu.

Wasn't the fact he married a 15-year-old Aaliyah 25 years ago shocking enough? And still people bought his music.

HMV is saved!!

But my local one is shutting!

[Guest]

They're shutting a load of Fopp records as well, didn't even know they were part of HMV

[Butterfield]

I didn't either. In fact, I didn't realise Fopp were still going - the only one I knew of around here closed about 10 years ago!

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The one in Sheffield city centre is staying but the one in Meadowhall is closing. I would've expected it to be the other way round.
