    Adam Ant! Yeah! 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' is a phenomenal album, last year for months I listened to it every day until, guttingly, the whole of side 1 got scratched to fuck. I hope the film's kind to him. And features little-to-no Toyah Fucking Wilcox.

    i'm interested to see what they make of my erstwhile idol too. i hope they show how great he was and don't over-focus on the mental health issue. it's just like when you break your arm, there is always a weakness there. and your father being found half-way up a 13 year-old boy doesn't help matters either.

    i saw antmuzak (the short film) at the ant convention last year. it is set in a supermarket, and features some familiar faces as adam and the ants on a surreal shopping expedition:)
