Young Stud In Berlin 1982 (Jim Kerr Interviewed on Countdown – July 1982)

Young Stud In Berlin 1982 (Jim Kerr Interviewed on Countdown – July 1982)

I’ve been delving into YouTube searching for full Countdown episodes that people have uploaded. Started watching this one from July 1982. I had only ever previously seen the ident for the show that Jim had recorded. During the later appearance when the band were in Australia, he mentioned this interview when talking to Molly (the…

X Doesn’t Always Mark The Spot…

X Doesn’t Always Mark The Spot…

Even to this day, I wish I was older. Although I am already what I would have considered in my youth as “well old.” On the verge of being exactly in my mid-50s, I sometimes lament at being in Gen X. I have always felt I kind of straddle two worlds, being born in 1970…

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Last week I had seen that Suzi Quatro would be out on the road touring in 2026. For the past few years I have really wanted to go and see her. She was my very first musical hero, back when I was a wee wean. She hasn’t been to Scotland for her past couple of…

Well, It’s Going Well?

Well, It’s Going Well?

I’m trying my best not to be contrary to all I’m seeing when it comes to Simple Minds on their current tour of North America. All appears to be going well. Although I still feel that a lot of “smoke and mirrors” is happening when it comes to the “packed houses” portrayal of the arenas…

Oz Tunes

Oz Tunes

I keep getting caught by the nostalgia bug lately. At the moment I’m leaning into it. Last night it was quite the mixed bag of stuff. Firstly, I watched the latest episode of In Your Room – the monthly video chat that Th3 Minds have. This month I was very excited to see that they’d…

A Spin Of Nostalgia

A Spin Of Nostalgia

I have vinyl listening sessions when the mood takes me. I usually listen to two or three albums in a session. For yesterday’s session I had the firm idea of listening to Hamish Hawk’s Heavy Elevator and from there I was going to see where the mood took me. Most likely a David Bowie album…

Please Stop Trying To Invalidate My Feelings! ‘Oh Jungleland’ Live And What It Means To Be A Fan

Please Stop Trying To Invalidate My Feelings! ‘Oh Jungleland’ Live And What It Means To Be A Fan

I can’t help how I feel. For the most part now I am staying quiet because as soon as a speak my mind and express how I feel I get all the crap retorts of akin to “I don’t hear what you hear,” “Just be lucky to get what you’re getting – they’re not getting…

New Hamish Hawk Release – Plus EP Coming Out In September

New Hamish Hawk Release – Plus EP Coming Out In September

On Friday morning there was a teaser on Hamish’s socials about news coming along on Monday. We were then informed that a new cover would be getting its first airing on Steve Lamacq’s show on BBC 6 Music and just before 6pm the tune dropped. And sooo like Hamish, it was a curveball to be…

The Anchoress Rocks, Stuns and Shines in Glasgow

The Anchoress Rocks, Stuns and Shines in Glasgow

I really don’t think it is hyperbole to state that this show had been one of the most highly anticipated – especially for Scottish fans of The Anchoress – for some time. The last time Catherine had played solo in Glasgow was at the Royal Concert Hall in 2017 as support for Simple Minds on…
