I've been playing The Cramps regularly lately. My five-year-old likes them. When I used to buy records every week I'd keep the receipt and put it in the plastic sleeve. Nerdy, I know. I also used to put relevant gig tickets in with LPs. I noticed that the current Mrs Inman and I went to see The Cramps play in Leeds 21 years ago this week (I think they were touring

Potty
Artist Grayson Perry makes our tweed outfits and irreverent dance moves look positively sombre and mediocre. 500 years ago they would have probably burnt him at the stake for being 'too colorful' but today he is heaped with accolades. I can appreciate a lot of motorcyclist deem his Battistini built bike a stomach churning abomination. I'm not normally a fan of the S&S fakey knucklehead but here it's perfect, it's a masterpiece. I took my kids to see his new show at the British Museum in London, where he was given free access to their whole collection of globally looted artifacts, to hang alongside a selection of his own work, old and new. It's like Eduardo Paolozzi on E. It's phenomenal. BP

Spooktacular
All the same ingredients. Timewarp venue with bargain basement beer prices; The incredible Stags; Sir Johnny Alpha DJing (plus Sideburn's GI spinning a few tunes). Loads of influential and beautiful people; dirt trackers letting their hair down (or at least getting drunk and dancing); one of the most fun live bands you're ever going to see.
People are travelling from all over the UK for this. Sideburn, Co-Built, Skooter Farm, Davida, Red Max... will all be in attendance, though in reality it has nothing to do with bikes and everything to do with dressing up (probably as a lady) and getting down. Are you gonna be there?
Friday October 29. The British Legion, Upper Dicconson St, Wigan, WN1 2AD

UPDATE: We'll be giving a bunch of Sideburn stuff to the best costume. The Stags will be judge, jury and executioner.

Ugly Bugs
Sideburn's house band, The Stags, hosted an Ugly Bugs Ball up in Wigan last weekend. I couldn't make it as I took the current Mrs I to see Grinderman in Nottingham. And as good as Mr Cave et al were, we feel we missed a blinder and so did you. They even had Bambi Le Beau doing an insect-inspired burlesque turn.
But despair no more, because The Stags are playing a Halloween special in Wigan, again (they do play outside Wigan, honestly) on Friday October 29th and we're not going to miss it. More details soon, but start planning your outfit. GI

Grayson Perry: Genius
Grayson Perry is without doubt our favourite Turner Prize-winning transvestite artist, and that's before we realised he was a fan of old Harleys. Thanks to John and Andy Ford for letting us know about Grayson's planned road trip. Follow his trip, from the perspective of his teddy bear Alan Measles here. GI

Lucha Libre, London
El Hijo del Solitario
Solar
El Hijo del Santo
Cassandro
I took my lad to see the Lucha Libre wrestlers when they were in London in the summer and it was a laugh. And it's pantomime season, so they've returned. My favourite Luchador was Cassandro, the transvestite. A role model if ever we saw one. The dwarf wrestlers were excellent too. GI
