Three old friends and a granddaughter against the world.
I’ve read 4 episodes of this comic and it’s amazing! The artwork, the story, characters, it’s funny, emotional, righteous,…
Treat yourself and your kids.

I loved the designers republic so much that in the mid 1990s I went alone by train from Berkshire to Sheffield to interview Ian Anderson for my A Level Graphic Design essay.

New Harvey interview

Nice.
Not sure about “DJ Harvey in his 90s heyday” captioned picture that’s not from the 90s, with him using an E&S mixer!
They did the Dub House Disco sleeves for Guerilla way back when. Remember them being very nice.

Yes! Love those comps
Much as I respect the man and his music, he might care to remember that the ‘moaning old fuckers’ were the people who built his name, myth (and brand..) not the festie crowds he draws now. It might be a great time to be a DJ if you’re elite, but he probably has no idea how tough it is for the grassroots nowadays

Was thinking exactly the same.

I’ve always thought Harvey comes across rather flippant and nonchalant with a lot of throwaway comments and I’ve never really taken him seriously except musically.. At the end of the day he’s just a geezer playing records and not the messiah

admittedly, I may well have misread the humour in there, but it was just a niggling doubt. Inevitable that being so far away for so long he does lose touch with the roots to some extent, because he would otherwise know that none of the hardcore fans want to go to MOS.. which then raises the question, is the superstar stuff still an injoke- or now the real deal..? Some fans may take this stuff too seriously but then again we’re all getting older, with fewer and fewer opportunities to hear the masters.. and virtually none in the environments we’d prefer. A bit of a moan perhaps and it’s not meant as an attack, but I guess those of us who hardly get out now feel more nostalgic than most

Funnily enough I bought tickets for the MoS gig right before I saw this interview. Not because I’m a hardcore fan per se, more that some pals are going and since I rarely get out these days I’m treating it as my main summer shingdig. Never been to MoS before so I have high expectations for this.

*security used to be hardcore there, esp on door, fingers around your shoe etc. dunno if that’s changed

Contractually obliged to mention that my lovely neighbour John (RIP) was in Ersatz with teenage Harvey.

What a great read - thank you for this. This guy joins a lot of dots together. And for the second time this summer, the musical ley lines have unexpectedly pointed to Milngavie in Glasgow.
