May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I’m always flicking through the pages of the music mags. Not much really has me stopping for too long. (Perhaps to my detriment? A slow reader’s curse that to be drawn in to read something, you REALLY have to grab their attention – going by my own experience anyway.) I suppose I am finding myself…
Woke up mega tired. Didn’t sleep that well. Had silly trivial things (in the context of things) on my mind. Set out early today and got to Mill Hill in plenty o’ time. I walk past the entrance to a park on my way to the rehearsal rooms each week. So with a bit of…
Oh, but I am still missing the “cherry on top” – the reply comments. I miss that element. It feels like a positive reinforcement when it happens. When it stops or doesn’t happen for a while I tend to think “Oh, he’s as sick of me as everyone else is! Lol.” And then I tend…
The latest Record Collector looking into the best of Nick Lowe. The bit about The Pretenders’ Stop Your Sobbing. I had NO IDEA that Nick and Chrissie had been an item! You learn something new every day, peeps!
UPDATE: I have just over two weeks to go until race day and have raised just over £200 so far. If I can get to £250 by race day, I will be SO, SO happy! If you haven’t donated yet, please consider it. Don’t forget that all £10+ that get the money raised to the…

I dunno whether there is any real point in sharing these…other than to have handy snippets for myself to log POTENTIAL progress. We’ll see… The sample snippets are: me playing along to The Traveling Wilburys’ Handle With Care, some general practice incorporating hi hat pedal play and drum fills, and playing along to Make It…
As well as doing the lyric art pieces and general ogling, sycophantic Kerr shrine art, I love making banner art…either banners for the blog or/and Facebook cover art pics. I know it’s late, and I might be seeing it for more than it is right now…the subjective element can work both ways, ie: something you…
Two proposals thrown at Jim this evening. One quite light-hearted…just for fun, because it was lovely putting the playlists together…and it could make for a tour with a really different setlist. There’s just under 60 songs in total in both the YouTube playlist. Could make for something quite different as far as tours goes. I…
