A diplomatic incident in Ealing over Kim Jong-un’s haircut | Brief letters
Comments Off on A diplomatic incident in Ealing over Kim Jong-un’s haircut | Brief lettersNorth Korean embassy | Reform UK newspaper | Wholemeal bread | Tarred and feathered | Lincolnshire’s actor-manager
Regarding your article on foreign embassies in residential London neighbourhoods (29 October), in 2014, a hairdresser in south Ealing put up a window poster with an image of Kim Jong-un and the strapline “Bad hair day?” They were offering a 15% discount on men’s haircuts. The next day, two besuited men from the nearby North Korean embassy turned up, demanding that the poster be removed. Both parties went to the police. No further action was taken.

• Thank you for warning me that the so-called “newspaper” produced by the so-called political party Reform UK may drop through my door (Report, 29 October). As my cat prefers to go outside in all weathers rather than use her litter tray, could you suggest other uses for this Farage farrago, or alternatively advise me how I can prevent it arriving at all?

Space live at Docks Academy
Comments Off on Space live at Docks AcademyLiverpool cult favourites Space bring their dark-humoured, hook-laden classics to Docks Academy, Grimsby, on Friday 6 November!
Space are a band from Liverpool, England, who formed in 1992 initially as a trio of Tommy Scott (vocals, bass, guitar), Jamie Murphy (vocals, guitar) and Jamie Island (drums), who was later replaced by Andy Parle. Keyboard player Franny Griffiths joined the line-up a year later, and the band signed to Gut Records in 1995, eventually rising to prominence with hit singles such as “Female of the Species”, “Me and You Versus the World”, “Neighbourhood”, “Avenging Angels” and “The Ballad of Tom Jones”, the latter a duet with Cerys Matthews of Catatonia.
Space pursued an eclectic sound dubbed “queasy listening” by critics, embracing electronica and sampling in their work and drawing from genres as diverse as hip hop, techno, post-punk, ska, lounge music, easy listening and film scores, the result of the differing tastes between band members. The group were also noted for their deliberately tongue-in-cheek, dark humoured lyrics inspired by films, which frequently deal with topics such as serial killers, failed relationships, social outcasts, and mental illness. Whilst Space’s eclecticism and camp humour polarised listeners and critics, they have maintained a devoted cult following.
Space experienced several line up changes, with Scott being the only consistent member. Their first two albums, Spiders (1996) and Tin Planet (1998), achieved great success and went platinum in the UK, along with scoring eight UK Top 40 singles.
