I’m On The Rooftop! – The Kensington Roof Gardens
As promised in a previous post about Boys From Brazil, here is information about the Kensington Roof Gardens. The tenancy was held by Virgin Limited Edition since (despite some erroneous information saying it was 1982) 1981. I think Simple Minds must have been one of the first bands on the label to make use of…

Things I Do That Keep Me Happy…
Or feeling kind of purposeful. I don’t know. I honestly don’t know what the point of me is… But I know what the point of this man is. And he obviously knew what his purpose was meant to be. I honestly don’t think I will ever stop loving him.
Dream Within A Dream
I had a mix of dreams this morning. Some were a little anxiety inducing. Others were just about all I dream of every day of my life. I was sitting in a rather fantoosh looking kitchen…a kind of breakfast bar area of this kitchen. So…not in my house this place. I guess I was in…

Virginia Turbett Interview With Artefact Magazine
I am very proud to know this lady and call her my friend and to do the tiny bits of work I do for her. It’s a privilege. And I don’t know how she puts up with my endless sycophantic, forlorn “I love Jim” crap but she does and it means the world. So here…

New Acquisition – Photographer Unknown
No details on date or location, either. But if I was to hazard a guess, I’d say 1980, Europe – most likely Germany, but it’s all guesswork. Anyway, we get the quirk of two half photos in one frame. Any other theories on it welcome.
