David James Ball
(3 May 1959 – 22 October 2025)

Every October

I was not a 'Soft Cell' fan, but the song above was my ex-wife's favourite before we started dating, which I wrote a post about in 2016, after our divorce -

Tainted Love/Groovy Kind of Love ... all in the Stars?

I don't have any photos in my house of that ... ex-wife of mine, so 'Memorabilia' is a better 'Soft Cell' song to my ears and memories:-)

I've never heard the song 'Memorabilia' before hearing of David Ball's passing in the news and wondering what else 'Soft Cell' sung.

Oddly enough, seeing Marc Almond in front of the Chinese Theater in LA in the above clip does bring back memories from the beginning of the year when me and my youngest son saw two movies in the theater this year -

The Substance and the Five-Pointed Star?⭐🥚🌟🌠🤩🎬

I guess life is written in the stars after all?-)

"But you're kind of like a spaceman, huh?"
"No, actually, I'm a plumber."
