Back with a backlog of updates after a long hiatus (caused mainly by the book actually being published and me taking a bit of a rest after that):
Anyway, here we go (blog posts): Following on the strike action piece, X Moore's two-part NME feature on the miners' strikeHow the PUFFIN CLUB made me a rock writerA review of Michele Kirsch's memoir CleanSilver Screen: NME's very strong early 80s film and TV section , and the role it played in the magazine's ethos
And links to podcasts:

Oh man, the Silver Screen piece is grebt, mark s! I didn't start reading until 83/84 (after the strike?) but with its Bilko/Barthes/Blimp/Brookie focus it was the section that spoke most clearly to me (particularly since it was far easier to track down the stuff under discussion than eg a Scraping Foetus 12"). Would much rather read an anthology of IP's TV stuff than his LRB elegies, and still aspire to be a member of the silver screen screwball comedy squad :/
