May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
A deliberate ‘typo’ on my part, that title… Most fans are talking about dates and wanting news…or if they’re not, they’re going on about how they miss how the band “really were”… “back then” when they (the fans, that is) were teens. Some are reminiscing about Street Fighting Years, which is all well and good…
Just been trying to keep myself entertained while being bailed up at home. Been doing bits every day. Jim. Charlie. Now Ged. I’d like to think I have good enough photos to make a piece for every member of the band, but think I’ll struggle for Berenice and Cherisse. They’re just too far back from…
Some felt the need to diss the man and wonder what his purpose is in the band when someone shared a pictured of Gordy Goudie on SMOG. If you don’t see his purpose, more fool you! He was partly responsible for THIS, for one. And Jim’s voice on this is just beautiful. I love the…

After show two I hung around the stage to see if a setlist might be on offer. After about 10 minutes I decided to give up. But before leaving the venue I thought “I’ll go over to GG and say goodnight.” “How was it?”, he asked. “Amazing!”, I said. “Did you get to see both…

Currently. Obviously lots about Copenhagen to come. Also had planned a review on the Bryan Ferry gig that went nowhere and I have some Warm Digits news on the way. I’ll be adding posts and content to the site as soon as possible. In the meantime, here are a few of my favourite photos I…
This year’s RSD takes place on Saturday April 18th. There are some things that have piqued my interest, pictured below. There is also a Steven Wilson mixes edition of Roxy Music’s eponymous debut album. For me, Field Music and kd Lang’s All You Can Eat and Drag would be lovely on vinyl. I used to…
Wow! It is looking GORGEOUS! And…I’m no expert (but by now I pretty much SHOULD be…) but I am certain some of Virginia’s photos have been used in it – she did tell me she was approached and was hoping some would be used. VIOLA! (Well, I am awaiting confirmation, but I think I know…
Just ONE song I would sell a kidney to hear played live. But then again, it’s probably best left in 1981 and I get a TARDIS…
