Thirsk; a town in a different class*
This was the album that included Common People and Disco 2000, and started Jarvis Cockers transformation into a national treasure. I dug out my copy of the CD, snapped a pic with my phone and tweeted it. Graham Denison replied to my tweet suggesting a couple of other Thirsk locations used on the album.
@jameswest didn't #Pulp feature a gatefold cover with pictures around #Tescos .. or was it another group?

@jameswest got a feeling this is Hambleton View? twitpic.com/9qr3v7

By this morning Thirsk Business Association had also chimed in.
@jameswest there is one down Ripon Way in Carlton Miniott. pulpwiki.net/Pulp/Different… (bottom middle). I met the photographers when they took it.

Wordle of Brit Award Winning Artists
The Guardian loves a bit of data, and today they've released all of the Brit Award winners since 1977 when the awards were launched. Take That and Robbie Williams have clearly dominated, but it's the smaller winners who are more interesting. Who's your favourite winner?

Save Darlo
So me and Jack went to the Northern Echo Arena yesterday to watch their game against Fleetwood. Loads of people were tweeting from around the ground, which made me think I should curate some of them into a Storify.
So, starting on Wednesday when the club was lost for ten minutes, here it is.
The story is so long that it doesn't fit on this page anymore, so it's probably best to view it on the Storify website.
PS: Hi to everyone coming over from Darlo Uncovered.
