Arthur Priest, The Unsinkable Stoker, died today in 1937. He survived the sinkings of the Titanic, Asturias, Alcantara, Britannic & the Donegal. He ended up ashore in Southampton as he claimed "no one wished to sail with him after these disasters." There, he died of pneumonia.

RIP, Soft Machine keyboardist Mike Ratledge. He also played on albums by Syd Barrett, Kevin Ayers, Elton Dean, etc., and cut the eldritch, cosmic-synth OST Riddles Of The Sphinx in 1977, although it wasn't released until 2013. (Somebody please reissue it.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7UU...

How to make yourself look like a cunt: 1. Take an important issue, any issue will do. 2. Make it your whole personality. 3. Spent every waking hour posting and attacking people on the internet about it. 4. Believe that no 3 is activism.
