RIP Dave Ball; mixer of northern soul and synthesizers. --Soft Cell owned this track so well for years I never realised it was a cover. A track I thrashed on the MCR jukebox at Uni a decade later when goth and grunge were the thing youtube.com/watch?v=XZVpR3…

National's new policy to 'solve' #NZ's homelessness - just sweep them away from the cities etc where the public can see the reality of their existence.
