For posterity... 
I was in a bit of a rush yesterday, so thanks to Richie from thatguys for taking a snap of the eBay page with Ray's pic on it.



Not the best quality, I know, but you can cleary see Ray and his amazing fake moustache!

Double wow... 


...I was doing my usual check for Ray McVay LPs on eBay - imagine my surprise when I saw one of the sellers has used my picture of Ray from the back of the Roadshow album to illustrate the sale.

It's obviously mine, because I doubt anyone else in the world has stuck a fake moustache on the picture of Ray from the back of the Roadshow album.

How random.

Wow... 


...Mullets Galore has updated!

If you've never checked out this site, then do! It's brilliant and after over a year of nothing happening, there's finally been an update!

I seriously thought the guy who ran it had died or something.

Dance Ulala, Dance! 
Here's a video of Ulala's motion capture dancer, Nazu Nahoko (who in her time has been a backing dancer for Michael Jackson) doing her thing at what looks like either the Space Channel 5 Part 2 launch or the best SEGA party ever. So you CAN pull those moves off in reality!



If that video is a bit too daunting, try following these simple steps, first printed in Famitsu when the original Space Channel 5 was released. As long as you master the basic Up, Left, Right, Down, Chu, Chu, Chu, you'll be fine when dancing aliens invade.

Great Boss Battles: Evila 


Created by Space Channel 5 CEO Chief Blank, Evila is modelled on Ulala and was created to be the perfect reporter. She appears in the final stage of the game in an awe-inspiring dance-off with Ulala. This boss battle isn't particuarly hard, but it's a lot of fun. when Ulala says "I can beat her, I feel it!", the player feels it too.
