I think it’s officially on the way to being a movement now: last week, R Stevens and Sam Brown held an experiment. Noting that there are no longer many shared cultural experiences in a world of thousands of channels and easily-accessed internet porn, they declared that at 8pm EDT on 23 October, everybody should listen to Michael Jackson’s Thriller all the way through.

Time for the second instance of shared culture: tomorrow night, 10pm EDT, it’s The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars by David Bowie, and you can tweet along with Sam ‘n’ Rich. Give this a few more weeks, and we’ll be talking “watching Apollo 11 land” levels of worldwide shared experience.

• Finally, as we hurtle headlong towards the spookiest day of the year — filled with ghosts, goblins, witches, sexy soldiers, sexy devils, sexy catgirls, sexy cops, sexy Ghostbusters, sexy barristas, sexy devils, sexy pirates, and God help us, sexy Alan Greenspan — okay, maybe it’s not so spooky. Unless you’re in Detroit, where Eric Millikin, wrangler of monstrous images extraordinaire, is going to be part of a show of macabre art.
