- Another car for Bill 👍In William's World4 October 2023Yes!..😎👍 ...Life Magazine Cover May 1st 1964 ..."Some of the best photos of the futuristic concept cars came from GM in 1964, when General Motors revisited the future with Futurama II at the New York World’s Fair. The first Futurama was a ride at the 1939 New York World’s fair. The updated 1964 Futurama II offered it’s riders a glimpse into what life in the year 2024 would be like. It was to be a “Millennium of Progress” to celebrate the boundless potential of science and technology for human advancement. It was a time in America’s history when it was at the very crest of its post war (World war II) technological and economic prowess. This time around, the world had plenty of modernist architecture and multi-lane highways, so GM decided to make a Futurama for the Space Age and show all the Space Age technology and dreams of the future and its transportation, including the cars of the future." Interestingly, this edition of Life magazine (01/05/64) is readily available on eBay, at a reasonable price. Rare 8mm film footage of the General Motors Futurama from the New York World's Fair 1964-652
- RIP Steve HarwellIn World Outside The Window·4 September 2023I am afraid to say that a NOT so epic bacon moment happened today. On 4 September, 2023, Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth fame died of an ongoing liver disease at age 56, being told hé had only days to live. Thé singer and songwriter and main frontman of the band Smash Mouth was known for his Smash Hit, « All Star » , which was famously used in the Shrek movie (produced by Ford) The song later became a même in general but was still a great staple of early 2000s alternative. Harwell also enjoyed getting intoxicated every now and then like our fellow Aussie friend « Jean-Michel Jarre » , however to a degree that even more sinister things were brewing in the northern hemisphere, including doing à Nazi salute in front of loyal fans. Harwell announced retirement from this incident and entered rehab until his death. He will live comfortably in all the hearts of all the Shrek and Dreamworks (including Kung Fu Panda 2) fans.2194

- “Speedboats From Another World” and British Home StoresIn William's World·8 September 2023On the Wakefield Historical Appreciation Site on Facebook, Bill recently posted a comment below a photograph titled "Wakefield Kirkgate 1965" .... 'That was a great shopping street. The original British Home Stores was a place my mother shopped at often. They sold all sorts of stuff, even a small range of model kits. I got my first model kit from there in the 50s, a little speedboat in pale green plastic. It set me off on a great hobby and I built so many kits back then'. This immediately caused me to listen to Speedboats From Another World from Modern Moods For Mighty Atoms and The Marvelous Model Kit from Clocks & Dials. Here's the post ....21149

- Picasso - Beauty and the BeastIn World Outside The Window·29 September 2023The BBC have just aired a 3 part documentary on Picasso. Hopefully it will be available worldwide soon. I didn't know much about him before and I found the series fascinating , enlightening and at sometimes a bit concerning. I won't spoil it for others by saying any more. The soundtrack too was very good, especially episode 2. Highly recommend watching this when it is available in your region.2155

- Bill Nelson and Sandie Shaw on telly discussing David Sylvian’s ‘Brilliant Trees’In William's World14 February 2023If I recall correctly, it was due to Bill’s positive comments regarding ‘Brilliant Trees’ that lead to David contacting Bill and the pair becoming friends…which included David inviting him along to his exhibition of photography and, of course, Bill’s contribution on the ‘Gone To Earth’ album. So, I think the ‘bad luck’ comment would be viewed by both Bill and David as incredibly inaccurate, as that particular TV show spawned a great friendship.2
- The marvelous Marvelous realms …..In William's World14 February 2023Alan And Anyone over the Atlantic The reason that there is a delay not due to UK strIkes or US slowdowns The Royal Mail got a massive hit from Hackers apparently and NO International mail was being sent unless by recorded means ordinary mail was stopped completely!!

- Charlie's Fretless BassIn William's World10 April 2023Good points, Tourist. It is difficult to imagine it. I keep thinking of "Glow World" and "Metaphysical Jerks" but that was a different style entirely and those two are a different style from one another. "Metaphysical Jerks" is pretty hard and crunchy. Thinking on it, along with those you mentioned Tourist, I could also imagine the fretless employed on "Japan" and on "Surreal Estate" as well as on "New Precision" . . .2
