lead singer of X-Ray Specs died yesterday aged just 53. I would put up a link but can't on my phone so if anyone could do a YouTube thing for The Day the World Turned Dayglo I'd be most grateful.

A deeply profound and beautiful statement.
Yes it is 
They were unique, really stood out from the rest of the pseudo punk stuff. RIP Poly. 
Such a shame! She was in the papers quite recently talking about her new work, her previous illnesses, and basically I thought that she had recovered.
she posted on twitter last week about how she wants to get out and take a walk by the sea front when she gets better
sad news indeed
