In a tapwater backwater, high-rise basement flat, hidden away in the suburban outer inner-city, a unique new pop-up hidden gallery has been created by culturific art heroes Jimson and Blythe.

Here they display their latest nude fetish counter-clockwise counter-culture contrail counters ; numbers rotating leftwise on independent student breasts linked to live flight data, hidden behind partially-revealing leather thongs.

Visitors to the gallery are asked to remove their shoes before entering, and the fine-grained broken glass lining the hallway floor is only the first in a series of deterrents that, in the words of Blythe, "allow visitors to suffer for their art as much as we do". Nipple clamps optional, of course!

The gallery is open between 6 and 6:30 am on alternating weekdays throughout the month.

Self-seeking introspection always sells, as Roger Eccles once said, and never has this been more true than for In My Mouth, the triumphant debut album from 23 year old Overly Winsome.

Stand-out tracks include "Bang for your Buck", which weaves a funky Afro-Czech rhythm section with a sombre melange of rustic guitar and cowbells, as Overly first wails then pleads for a return to a more honest sexuality:

"In the duvets of desire / Both my flaming legs on fire / Wallet bulging at the ready / As you came I was unsteady" harks back to the classics of the disco age while forging a new and edgier aesthetic. Overly frequently paints herself as the feminist Dylan of our age.

"Doin' it on the sly" sees Overly in religious mode, combining church organs with an ethereal hint of her native folk musical upbringing, to tackle the complex issue of family life as a independently wealthy independent musician.

The eponymous instant top 100 single, In My Mouth, simply speaks for itself. You'll be putting In My Mouth on your playlist for a good few hours.

Managers and marketing types for 80's rockers, the Dead 80's, fronted by recently deceased frontman Kit Spankbasket, have announced a new album, a crematorium and a new 45-date global tour, despite the ongoing rumours of a split in the band.

Spankbasket and co-songwriter and bassist Alex Benson have not been on speaking terms since Benson died of a drug-related cheese overdose in a Las Ongelese hotel 35 years ago, a split which many thought would not have been improved by Spankbasket's death last week at the hands of a sexually aroused binobo. Late drummer Pat Buckson (1954 - 1989) remained unavailable for comment and the Dead 80's lead guitarist, 'Bone' (presumed to be the last surviving member of the band) has refused to speak to anyone since 1993 and was last reported living in isolation in a sealed pod 15 miles beneath the base of the Apalacian mountains.

Dead 80's manager, Mountain Cashflow, promised that "the boys are all in for this. I spoke to em all just yesterday, honest. Now get down on the floor. I.. they.. just need you to hand the money over first. Put your hands on the floor, put the money in this bag. And don't get any funny ideas".

Touring theatre group 'El Passo' has raised street theatre to new levels with their latest performance, staged atop the world's tallest buildings.

Reviewers have had difficulty assessing the groups' new works as they are prevented from getting anywhere near the troupe by warning signs, barbed wire and a series of health and safety regulations, not to mention a dreadful fear of heights, but El Passo director, Migueel Pocahontas, described the new performances as "Shockingly bad".

But at least they won't last long.
