She was Marc Bolan’s partner. & When did Marc Almond of Soft Cell decide to become a pop star? When he saw Marc [...]

Melting Ice Caps / Cocoanut Groove LIVE in London 26/09/08 Friday night at the Enterprise in Camden. The downstairs pub is heaving with people spending the first hours of their well-deserved weekend boozing away with bad rock music blaring away in the background, oblivious that beauty is about to be passing through the small upstairs room. I knew Cocoanut Groove would be great (how could he, for tonight...

Recently I've come across Dennis Cooper's blog, and found myself so overwhelmed on many levels that it's taken me a while to begin to formulate any kind of a response. While certainly I was impressed by Cooper's habit of amassing obscure material, such as Marc Almond's paean to Bataille's Solar Anus (not that I've even yet heard his other piece Martin , concerning the eponymous character of George...

When I heard about New Wave Chess & Checkers I started having flashbacks to my high school days, thinking that someone had unleashed a Marc Almond-branded checkers set or a rethemed chess set dubbed Master & Servant . In reality, the name seems like a foil to balance the game’s components: 275 lb. corrugated cardboard and flat printed pieces. Yes, the advantage of this new design from Paradoxy Products...

FROM POPBITCH.COM: "Back in the 80s it was quite normal for gay singers to hang around the London Apprentice on Old Street, and they rarely got any bother from the other gayers in the bar. On one occasion I was cruising round the sleazy part of the bar when I came upon a bare-chested Marc Almond, looking very sexy. I followed him to a dark corner. I noticed that he had a yellow hanky hanging out of...
