Our dear friend Stephen Moore has died. A fine actor, a lovely man and the original and most iconic voice of Marvin The Paranoid Android in The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. Our thoughts are with his family and our memories of him will always make us smile. RIP Stephen. pic.twitter.com/d01PFDpVDq— Dirk Maggs (@DirkMaggs) October 12, 2019

I thought it was him but then I didn't think he famous enough to end up itt.

He was also in Clockwise, and Adrian Mole, and The Queen's Nose, and Harry Enfield, loads of other stuff too.
He even had a hit single.

there was another Marvin single which included "Marvin, I Love You" which is probably better known than the above.

It usually takes a bit to make me really sit up and take notice of a dress at televised events of various sorts. The stadium-covering one worn by Björk when performing "Oceania" at the Athens Olympic opening ceremony in 2004 sure did.

Yeah, the Wolf stuff is pretty egregious, too. I re-read the infamous Boston Review opinion piece yesterday, and had forgotten how truly execrable it is, like one huge dog whistle. What a total piece of shit, imo.

I've only read In the Hand of Dante and the Dean Martin book. I'm sure Hellfire is as good as everyone says, but...I just don't care that much about Jerry Lee Lewis, or feel like there's anything I need to know that I can't get from listening to the records.

Hellfire is great, it's written like a novel, iirc, so more than just another "and then this happened, and then this ..." etc.
