The End of an Era

I imagine some of my readers are already sleeping outside a Camden newsagents to make sure they are first in line, but for those not so up to speed with modern music trends prepare yourselves for a momentous announcement:

Obviously in one sense I am upset - no-one will enter my competitions any more.

[A big shout out to J.D for alerting me to this event of historical significance]

There is another Hucknall in the World

Yes, Mick's become a father for the first time, which if his claims are to believed (that interview, by the way, is second only to Michael J Totten's "Drinking with Christopher Hitchens and the Iraqis" [Update: Link, correct title, and I'd never noticed what a rip-roaringly funny title it is as well.
