A rare glimpse into how the #GenerativeAI sausage is made. This seems to be how #GPT decided that #FrankSidebottom once did a #Devo cover, from a web page last updated in 2008. It's all #WeirdAlYankovic's fault...

Can't stop thinking about that epic #FrankSidebottom Christmas number one. Thanks for the "memories", #GPT! #GenerativeAI FTW 🤖🕺

For fans of Frank Sidebottom, I present a ringtone: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I7CWlon1JKbgTsV7B8IpRtVMFvmmW8lr/view?usp=share_link

No idea where this came from. Maybe the Being Frank documentary project, or possibly off a CD/tape someone handed to me back when I was doing bootleg transfers and clean-ups, maybe.

Either way. Thanks, Frank.
Thank.

It's always Radio #Timperley time around these parts 📻🎙️🕺 #FrankSidebottom

Short article from Personal Computer Games about Camouflage, a 1983 single by Chris Sievey. The record’s B-side contained a program for the ZX81 that showed graphics and lyrics in time to the music.

Sievey was better known by his alter-ego, Frank Sidebottom. The single was produced by Martin Hannett, legendary producer and Factory Records co-founder.

You can see how the ZX81 program followed the audio here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvmM1n3jryY

Help settle this argument: Is Frank Sidebottom a novelty artist?

Anybody else know Frank Sidebottom? Listening to his Oh Blimey It's Christmas on Gideon Coe's show. So loving this. The dude followed me on Birdsite and I couldn't have been prouder. https://youtu.be/8Ct-jO9Hvuo #FrankSidebottom

Tree’s up and Frank’s really really impressed. Christmas is fantastic! Sound on folks. #franksidebottom #christmastree #christmas #hohoho

Many towns/villages put up community Christmas trees at this time of year. This is what happens in my home village.

Beautiful day in Manchester! So I ran to Timperley to see Frank Sidbottom. #manchester #franksidebottom

@georgel99 mine was taken at a #FrankSidebottom / #CharlieChuck gig at Sheffield City Hall in September 2008

Ok, I caved...

My brain kept insisting that #FrankSidebottom's surname was 'Sievey', but I wasn't convinced. Finally gave up and looked him up. My brain even got the spelling right.

Really hate my brain sometimes (;*

It's time to take a look inside the mind of Frank Sidebottom (Chris Sievey) and his ZX Spectrum nonsense.
