May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Went into town to FINALLY become a blood donor…(which…didn’t go to plan…never mind…trying again on Saturday) And on the way, stopped into the HMV. With £24 of vouchers to spend, I settled on these…I mean, HOW COULD I PASS UP a copy of Young Americans for £9.99?!! I couldn’t!. And…I just love, love, love Diamond…
Oh, you lucky thing, Miss Henderson… And I can only assume the Muriel in question is Muriel Gray? Again… Oh, but Jaine…I read those early passages of the Adam Sweeting book, and I sssooo wanted to be her! And…he even says in his post “I was developing a crush”. Man alive! How I wish! Lucky…
I may continue…but…well…I posted to the wall…like a dick…for something not very high brow…as usual. Yesterday I was SOOO desperate to thank him and talk to him about The Inner Life Of Animals…but stayed away. Stayed strong! And then, I broke it for THIS! LOL Peter Gabriel Lego Mini Figures I am truly pathetic… I’ll…

And…he talks of KT, and I still need to sort out all my ticket stubs and the wonderful souvenir of KT’s plectrum caught on the first night in Dublin. I will never forget hearing It Took Me So Long To Get Here But Here I Am and how much it resonated with me and brought…

I really, really want to thank him for sharing this book. It is utterly FASCINATING! But I just dare not. “Operation Stay Away” hasn’t even lasted two days! It got off to a false start in the first place from him sharing this and talking about birds (though ultimately the post was about Elbow). I’m…
A self-imposed purgatory in which I am waiting to be forgiven for my “sin”. The “sin” of having fallen in love and expressed myself. The “sin” of wishing for things that can’t be and expressing them. “Sister feelings call”…and were expressed. Purgatory is hell. “You’ll see me as I’m cocooned up in Badlands” (“Operation Stay…
Yep…because I don’t actually live and breathe Simple Minds…and Jim Kerr is just a construct in my imagination… This version of Wasteland was chosen for the original “Simple Minds” end line… (see latest Lyric Of The Day for subtle reference, and check simpleminds.org for the background to the song)
And…fuck he’s making it hard! It’s a phenomenal write-up…and the thing I actually love most about him…despite all the silly ogling. I think I am genuinely in love with this man… Oh, how I want to reply. To say SOMETHING…if nothing more than “Wow!” and “Thank you!” You know…all that thought-provoking stuff that would have…
Awoke to the news of the loss of a true music industry great. George forged an amazing career in music, starting out with success with the Easybeats and on to Vanda and Young (Dutchman Harry Vanda being his long-time collaborator and song-writing partner), producing AC/DC albums for younger brother, Angus and more music chart success…
