May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Not much will be happening here on the blog for the next week as I have to knuckle down for my next uni assignment. Demotivation is starting to rear its ugly head and I need to try and deal with that. So here’s an apt Minds Music Monday choice. I chose this clip because Jim…

There’s a recording I have from Sydney but there is one on YT from Melbourne – same tour, around 10 days apart. To me, when I listen to both these recordings, Jim sounds thoroughly exhausted – especially on both recordings of Hunter And The Hunted – and they both are placed early in the set….

I have to concentrate on my study and I can post things as and when, but when it comes to something like MMM, and in particular the dedication I put towards it for the SAF/SFC 40th anniversary posts – I just don’t have the time to dedicate to that right now. So, for now, as…

The weather over the weekend has been glorious and continues to be wonderfully sunny, if not still a wee bit cold. I am looking forward to warmer days. The sun has been lovely and thank god that, it least as hours of sun is concerned, spring has sprung. Those rays just need to be a…

We’re one week into spring and I was thinking of choosing something that was symbolic of heralding in spring. But it also wasn’t lost on me that tomorrow is International Women’s Day and I should pick something for that also. So…what to do? Ah, well…what pops into my head is Woman – with the theme…
Mondays to me now are very much study days. And as I settle into a rhythm and routine pattern of study, Monday is the “get back to it!” day. Saturdays are technically the start of a new study week and I am trying to keep ahead of time and not allow myself to fall behind…
This week I will be somewhat cheating, as I did a lengthy post about this song for MMM barely six months ago. I wanted to post about it last week, as the song was my earworm over the previous weekend and I was just feeling a lot of love for it. But Empires That Dance…
A special Valentine’s MMM this week with a very special recording of Someone Somewhere In Summertime by Empires That Dance, dedicated to Gordon and Angelique Machray. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. It can be a bit of an isolating day for the lonely. Even if we all think this day is corporate, capitalist claptrap, when you’re…

It’s a belated Happy 38th Anniversary to Sparkle In The Rain. The anniversary was actually yesterday and there was celebration at Casa Read by way of this beauty getting a play on the old turntable. A favourite track? Well, during yesterday’s airing of the album, Waterfront was sounding particularly good. And it was one of…
I listened to this over again early on Sunday morning. I love how clearly Jim’s voice comes across on this recording. I don’t know who was responsible for recording it? Frank, mabbies? Seeing as it’s a soundboard recording…? Dunno. But I am sssoooo very thankful it exists! I mean, Newcastle from the week before is…
