May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
This dress is bloody gorgeous. Proper vintage from the 1960s. I have dreamed of having a piece of vintage clothing for the longest time and when I found this dress – and it fitted me – I died! I *had* to have it! I have owned it for a year, and have never worn it…
An article in Mojo magazine about David Bowie’s brief musical evolutionary period with The Lower Third via interview and book extracts with the band’s drummer, Phil Lancaster.

A great and rather open interview with Michael Rother in Uncut magazine, exploring his music career, focusing on his time working with Klaus Dinger on Neu! – a rather fractious and strained musical partnership by Rother’s own account, moving on to Harmonia and finally working solo. It has given me more musical off shoots to…
