I loved Fenella Fielding, such a unique character, I feel like she never found a vehicle big enough for her.

I mean the gutter-punk song by Crime, of course.

apparently the song was originally called Prisoner Dog but they changed it because someone misheard the lyrics and they liked the misheard version better

He was brilliant in The Beiderbecke Affair, so many lines I repeat to this day. I made soup in a cooking contest in China and told a local journalist it was "lurking vegetable soup" and she actually printed it in the paper. RIP Dudley.

According to Ted Gioia on Twitter, saxophonist Big Jay McNeely has died at 91. I had no idea he was still alive. You can figure out everything you need to know about his style from this immortal photo:

RIP but what a career/life. Even gets a credit on Blue Lines for an L.A.Express sample. Pity he didn't get round to writing the book mentioned in the last of those interviews.

RIP Denis. Back in the early 2000s I worked in Central London and walked to work in Clerkenwell along Oxford Street. Often walking in the opposite direction was Denis Norden. Very tall, even taller than you might imagine, and very pale. More or less dressed exactly as he appeared on TV in later years: dark blue blazer, light brown trousers, white shirt, cravat, all at quarter to eight in the morning.

Robert Venturi (1925-2018), whose early writings and buildings defined an aesthetic of "complexity and contradiction" that would later be taken - especially after his collaborative work with Denise Scott Brown opened up new frontiers in the theory of the Pop landscape - as one of the first signposts of "postmodernism," though he did not originate or use the term.
