Apparently, Feargal Sharkey does think we're stupid

Let's hope Feargal Sharkey never goes on Would I Lie To You, as it appears he thinks it's some sort of revelation that Teenage Kicks is about wanking.

He also thinks that it was his Greatest Hit, despite having peaked at 31; even It's Going To Happen managed better than that.

The more @solangeknowles Tweets, the more I find myself warming to her:

Whenever I get handed a plane blanket I have these creepy images of some weird guy jacking off underneath one, or a slobbering old man. Eek.

Mickey Bradley joins BBC News in celebrating the 30th anniversary of Teenage Kicks:

The Good Vibrations record label didn't have a sleeve-making department.

In fact, it didn't have any departments, it was just Terri in his shop.

So when he rang us a few weeks later to say the records had arrived, he really meant we had to go up to his shop and help with the sleeves.

That process involved folding a printed A4 sheet around the record.

I still have memories of us on our knees in the back of Terri's shop, with a pile of singles and a pile of unfolded sleeves.
