A Chip Off The Old Block?
I made a vlog which you can view by clicking the post. In it I discuss Mark Kerr’s new musical offering – hence the ‘old skool’ photo of a young Mark with his big bro. Photo credit: Virginia Turbett

Review: Moonage Daydream at IMAX
WARNING: POTENTIAL “SPOILERS”. Where to begin with this review? It’s hard to get a handle on Brett Morgen’s objective is with this … documentary? Film? I’m not even sure how to refer to it officially. I guess it is a documentary by the definition being it is based on factual information and not a work…
Summer Swag
Have acquired these over the past few days and looking forward to devoting some time to them very shortly. Already have spent some time perusing the Bryan Ferry Lyrics book. I didn’t realise there was a foreword in it and a short piece by Bryan himself. Mother Of Pearl has been a firm favourite since…
One Day Left – Bricking It!
Anyone would think I am being asked to perform! Lol. Nah. Just to have the gallus to show my face, is all… I’d rather face a million assignments right now. This was my earworm this morning…. (didn’t want to get out of bed) “It’s Monday. You slither down the greasy pipe, so far, so good…

Happy 75th Birthday, David
“You’re spring to me, all things to me. Don’t you know you’re life … itself..” Will have to give this a listen today. Celebrate a magnificent life.
As Dorothy Said To Aunty Em…
“There’s no place like home.” A much used quote lifted from The Wizard Of Oz. But it rings true. And it certainly seemed to have rung true on the nights of November 18th and 19th, 1982. Simple Minds had just returned to Glasgow after another whirlwind stint of touring to the far reaches of the…

Some brilliant, dark, melancholic Brel as we continue our waltz towards Halloween…
Bowie Talk – Missing Jim – Sexy Songs – Minds Music Monday – Lightning
I miss Monday’s the way they used to be. Actually, I miss just about how every day would start a few years back. When I was getting into Simple Minds and getting myself involved in the fanbase, the thing that always seemed to make every day feel like it started off on the right note…
