'THE ALBUM’S TITLE TRACK ‘MR. ARC-EYE’ IS A LIVE STUNNER!' Just when we’d started to wonder whether it really happened, there’s a fabulous review of The Very Things GXL Castle & Falcon gig @livewire_music by Richard Davies to remind us of an amazing night.

‘IT WAS A TRIUMPH!’ So says Freddie @PMMusicCafe Thanks to the lads for the splendid review of The Very Things GXL gig in Brum and for spinning ‘Ghost Pool’ and ‘Time Is Not On My Side’ on the show. IT'S TOP RADIOPHONIC ENTERTAINMENT.

The Spinning Man No. 778 is BLLLLISSTERING! Splendid tracks include wonderful D-Cell Games and Omniwhores tunes. BIGGEST THANKS to Shend for spinning The Very Things GXL’s 'Titanic Suit’ and his lovely chat about our forthcoming gig in Brum.

We worked on the The Very Things' ‘Motortown’ album during much of 1986. It included our version of ‘There’s A Ghost In My House’, which is now spinning on @PMMusicCafe thanks to the fab Freddie & Charlie.

STANDBY FOR ACTION! Coming soon – ‘Ghost Pool’ single and video. Here’s a snapshot from the video shoot, with Svor looking a bit deranged. And the track is on the latest @PMMusicCafe show, thanks to Freddie & Charlie.

I had the disturbing, exciting 1953 biopic 'Houdini' in mind when finding seance samples for The Very Things GXL's ‘I Said Yeah’. The film's final 10 minutes are on YouTube. The track is now spinning on the latest @PMMusicCafe show. Thanks lads.

SHOULD WE PLAY '76 TROMBONE STREET' AT THE SPECIAL BIRMINGHAM GIG IN MAY? In the meantime, it’s on the latest @PMMusicCafe show, alongside favourites Wall Of Voodoo’s ‘Tomorrow’ and Devo’s ‘Gates Of Steel’. All on Freddie & Charlie’s ENORMOUS playlist.

The universe is speaking to us! In advance of a forthcoming live appearance by The Very Things GXL, an excellent episode of 'In Our Time' – 'Dadaism' – appears on the radio. Big ideas for us.
