UPDATE: (New Additions) Selling Some Stuff From My Collection

UPDATE: (New Additions) Selling Some Stuff From My Collection

I just wanted to make you guys aware that I am selling off some of my vinyl on eBay. I’m only posting to UK sellers I’m afraid. There is just too much hassle with posting things overseas. I’ll link to each item. You can see the listings below: A new/sealed New Gold Dream Half-Speed Master…

The Bellahouston Breakdown – A Long Vlog Post (Sorry!)

The Bellahouston Breakdown – A Long Vlog Post (Sorry!)

Sorry for the vid – I felt like dissecting it all this way instead of taking hours to compile a written post. I know the vlog posts aren’t to everyone’s liking, so to save you the pain, the condensed summary is: Yes & Maybe – great! Hamish Hawk – you know I can wax lyrical…

The Word(y) Girl

The Word(y) Girl

I have been enjoying more English language and word etymology content lately – either via YouTube channels or via podcasts on BBC Sounds.  My three favourite YT channels when it comes to all things words are Words Unravelled, RobWords and Otherwords. Words Unravelled is presented by Jess Zafarris and Rob Watts (Rob is also the…

Release Date for Kerr/Burchill Memoir Our Secrets Are The Same

News of the release date of the Jim Kerr/Charlie Burchill memoir (which can fall under the genre of “creative non-fiction”) is Thursday 2 October 2025.

Monday Is 1981 Day – New Weekly Theme: First up – In The Garden: Eurythmics

Welcome to what will be known as “1981-Day Monday.” A theme that may run all summer long. We’ll see where it goes after that.  The premise? Well, it’ll be for me to write about an album from 1981 that I have either never listened to at all, or have not heard for a very long…

Young Stud In Berlin 1982 (Jim Kerr Interviewed on Countdown – July 1982)

Young Stud In Berlin 1982 (Jim Kerr Interviewed on Countdown – July 1982)

I’ve been delving into YouTube searching for full Countdown episodes that people have uploaded. Started watching this one from July 1982. I had only ever previously seen the ident for the show that Jim had recorded. During the later appearance when the band were in Australia, he mentioned this interview when talking to Molly (the…

X Doesn’t Always Mark The Spot…

X Doesn’t Always Mark The Spot…

Even to this day, I wish I was older. Although I am already what I would have considered in my youth as “well old.” On the verge of being exactly in my mid-50s, I sometimes lament at being in Gen X. I have always felt I kind of straddle two worlds, being born in 1970…

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Last week I had seen that Suzi Quatro would be out on the road touring in 2026. For the past few years I have really wanted to go and see her. She was my very first musical hero, back when I was a wee wean. She hasn’t been to Scotland for her past couple of…
