Chris Achilleos has passed aged 74.  Did some cracking covers on the older Fighting Fantasy books and other D&D stuff in the 80’s.

Real shame, this. Groundbreaking band both musically and socially. Jimmy put out a nice tweet. 

 

I often wondered why Jimmy Somerville left the band for "The Communards". Bronski Beat still released some decent songs, with a new singer, like "Hit that Perfect Beat" and Eartha Kitt & Bronski Beat with "Cha Cha Heels", which is below..

I think it's just a boring old 'personal differences' thing. I think as well Somerville was a lot more commercially driven than the rest. Anyway, while they were together they made some great stuff.

Monkees singer / songwriter Mike Nesmith has died aged 78

You know they don't write their own songs, and that wasn't even Michael Nesmith's real hat.

They weren’t even real monkees, they were human.

Mensi of Angelic Upstarts has died from Covid. A life long socialist and anti fascist, he’ll be missed. 

Mensi featured in this. Top bloke, had a few beers with him in Sweden.

I also doubt they could beat Power Rangers in a fight, well maybe the original blue ranger. 

The Power Rangers would have a numbers advantage, unless you bolster the Monkees' ranks with all the session musicians.
