David on Lou – 1997
It must have been the time of David’s 50th Birthday Bash. It’s not until I watch something like this do I forget just how much I miss him. What a beautiful brain he was. I am always floored by the intelligence that just DRIPS off him.
Spotify Yearly Stats – Who’s The “Real” Fan…Mr Kerr?
I’m just going to show my dedication here…(and this has been while going through a period of not listening to you as much as I normally do! Just…bear that one in mind!)

The Magpie Looking For Glitter?
Someone I follow on Facebook shared a post by John Foxx’s page (actually officially labelled as “John Foxx and The Maths”) in which he posted this image of a letter from David Bowie to Tony Visconti. Foxx added – “Interesting to read this note from David Bowie to Tony Visconti from the 1970s – sending…
Rolling Stone Magazine’s Glaring Omission!
In the latest edition of Rolling Stone magazine, they have gone over the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. There is now a new, revised list from the magazine. The first list was published in 2003.
