May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Three days until the New Gold Dream box set hits, so here’s another awesome live performance of a track from the album in anticipation. Jim is in full “Anthony Perkins” mode here. Love the lighting on this and how it makes him look like some pale, majestic, new wave prince. Just…beautiful! The whole shebang!
Update: Today, Billy was sent out as a gift to Jim. As lovely as it has been sending him prints, it is wonderful to be able to send him something tangible and drawn with my own hand. I wanted him to have Billy, because without his encouragement, I would never have felt…confident or able to…

I love his reply to me so, so much…still. I don’t know WHY I have never made it an art piece before…but I did today! (At long last!) I was telling him that I had a favourite fragment of the song…right towards the end…this kind of screeching noise (I now know to be Charlie’s guitar,…
