Thank YOU, KT (Operation Stay Away – Day 3)

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…

The Inner Life Of Animals

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…

Purgatory…

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…

Minds Music Monday – Wasteland, Mars Bar, Glasgow, 1978

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)

Day Two Of “Operation Stay Away”…

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…

RIP George Young

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…

Shooting Stars Never Stop Even When They Reach The Top – Orionids Meteor Shower

Peaking in UK skies on Friday and Saturday….but hopefully not too late tonight. We have a good chance for clear skies tonight, so I’m “goon oot” to have a gander tonight. Hope I can spot something. I shall go out, lay on the lawn and see… Always wanted to do something in astronomy when I…

WIP – Feeling Good

I feel I actually made improvements today. I am feeling much better about what I did with the angel. She may just be ready to ship to Oz by my birthday…
