Minds Music Monday – Someone Somewhere (In Summertime) – Live
Today is the Winter Solstice. The shortest day in the northern hemisphere. Also Jupiter and Saturn align tonight to make what is deemed the “Christmas Star” – a once in 400 year alignment. And there promises to be clear skies over Glasgow this evening. Fingers crossed. Meanwhile, as we see in the Winter Solstice today,…

Pete’s Piece (In The Book.
Just had to share this bit. The last few sentences… More times than you could ever think it, Pete – and in as vivid detail as my imagination will allow. Usually culminating in the most GLORIOUS of “EUREKA!” moments, as Jim leaps from seated spot in the bath tub…

Is it starting to feel like Christmas? Hmmm…not sure…
Hanging Around – With My Man In Germany
Back in May I had a chat with Ronnie Gurr at Hanging Around Books about a photo of Jim that I would have liked to have gotten a copy of from the photographer who took it, but I looked into their prices (without enquiring with them directly) and saw they wanted over £1000 for a…
Minds Music Monday – 20th Century (2020) Promised Land

He’s the man…

Glue Dot Bow Jim…bo
This was the photo display I was referring to on my video the other night. The bow was stuck on with a glue dot and it kept popping off – almost like the power of Jim’s mind through the ephemera of the photograph was protesting “I am NOT wearing this kind of tat, woman!” ???????…
See The Glittering Prized Christmas Lights
After another disappointing day of seeing nothing in the mail slot but an invoice and some junk mail, I went off seeking distraction. I’ve lost my way. Gone are the days of Hunter And The Hunted and the like. I am less and less inclined to call it “art” without the quotation marks. They make…

A New Gig…In Retrospect
A new bootleg has been uploaded to YouTube from the ever elusive but ever fabulous Art & Talk. This one hails from the Real To Real Cacophony Tour of 1979/80 and is performed in Hamburg on March 5th, 1980. And although still seen as the Real To Real Cacophony Tour, there are tracks from Empires…
