Trad. Arr." is short for "traditional, arranged (by)", and is often attached to recordings of folk music. I would like a home. That’s one of my principal objectives. There was a nice sofa in The Apartment. I still have it. I would like to sit on it again.

It’s kind of the ideal organisation. It’s so rare you encounter a company which is exactly how you imagine a company could be. Kind and virtuous. And isn’t hell-bent on making more and more money. The important thing is that a lot of people are getting very passionate about saving 6 Music," Shade said. "I hope it will help make the BBC see sense. It is too important a station to lose. With expanding digital radio coverage I think they will attract a much larger audience to the station if only they give it a chance." a b c Passantino, Dom (21 September 2005).

None of this merch has anything to do with the band or the person who designed the cover, Peter Saville. Your starter for 10 last night: “What innovative band is the subject of Jon Savage’s oral history ‘This Searing Light, The Sun and Everything Else”? The band released two 1980s albums, ‘Closer’ and ‘Unknown Pleasures’.”This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive. Ben Granger, Spike Magazine: "This is probably not one of Half Man Half Biscuit’s best albums. And yet its[ sic] still fantastic".

Photograph: John Robertson/the Guardian We don't mind if it gets to six or 36," said one of the campaign's co-ordinators, Chris Shade, from Rochester in Kent. He said it had started out as "a bit of a joke", but the song – from the band's 2005 album Achtung Bono – has now become an unofficial anthem of the station. Based in in Ebeltoft, a sleepy port town on the northeast coast of Denmark, Kvadvat has previously collaborated with Wes Anderson, Sarah Lucas and Olafur Eliasson, while Raf Simons has on ongoing fabric line with the company. On a more prosaic level you'll find Kvadrat textiles in the more high-end furniture and interior design shops across Europe, and beyond. Mark Thompson, the BBC's director general, sounded the death knell for 6 Music, along with the Asian Network digital station, as part of a wide-ranging review of the corporation's operations, published last month. The music station is home to DJs including Lauren Laverne, Shaun Keaveny and Steve Lamacq.

In 2010, a Facebook campaign was mounted with the aim of saving BBC 6 Music from threatened closure and, as a sign of protest, to get "Joy Division Oven Gloves" from Achtung Bono to No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart on 12 April 2010.

I mean, occasionally. And I have to politely point out that I’m a 66-year-old man and it’s not appropriate. I did consultancy for Manchester for several years [in 2004 Savile was announced as 'creative director' of the city]. So I was up in Manchester every week. This is a good ten years ago now, but I guy came up to me in the street, he was in a band and he said ‘Are you Peter Saville? Will you do our cover?’ I said ‘How old are you?’ And he’s 22. So I said ‘When I was 22 I wouldn’t have asked my Dad to do my record’. I said ‘I’m old enough to be your father. Maybe your grandfather. Someone of your own universe, your own life has to do it'. It was really nice of him to ask and I was touched. But it’s not appropriate. This was the first one. And for that reason I was very sensitive about it. The collaboration actually began in 2004, when [CEO] Anders Byriel, newly at the helm of Kvadrat, turned up in my studio. I didn’t know much about Kvadrat – but he knew a lot about me. And he and his then-marketing director had been quite conscientious in choosing to come to see me. Anders was beginning to take over the direction of the company from his father, so I worked on the new identity [the logo, etc] in the early 2000s. And I loved the company. Companies like that are few and far between. It helps that they’ve earned a monopoly for themselves, in Europe, in the production of contemporary textiles. It’s still privately owned and they earn enough money, in a Danish way, to be happy. Anders, and therefore the company, do things they want to do. And they don’t do things they don’t want to do. Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.

If I think of Peter Saville and interiors I think of Pulp’s ‘Help The Aged' sleeve and your Nineties Mayfair home, The Apartment. They both had a kind of retro-Playboy vibeminutes. I’m not sure I have ever known a specific meaning of YAMMER although I’ve heard references to people ‘yammering on’ and always thought I understood what was meant from its context at the time. SOED has it as:
