May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
UPDATE: I have just over two weeks to go until race day and have raised just over £200 so far. If I can get to £250 by race day, I will be SO, SO happy! If you haven’t donated yet, please consider it. Don’t forget that all £10+ that get the money raised to the…

It’s that … cold war Europe sensibility and style it has. Actually, it’s more post-war (The Great War), 1930’s, really. It’s Christopher Isherwood Berlin. Not flappers and sharp-suited men…later…early 1930s….now more the time of “austerity” (and how relevant does it make this song now?!), mass unemployment – post Wall Street Crash and the Hoover Dam…

I dunno whether there is any real point in sharing these…other than to have handy snippets for myself to log POTENTIAL progress. We’ll see… The sample snippets are: me playing along to The Traveling Wilburys’ Handle With Care, some general practice incorporating hi hat pedal play and drum fills, and playing along to Make It…
As well as doing the lyric art pieces and general ogling, sycophantic Kerr shrine art, I love making banner art…either banners for the blog or/and Facebook cover art pics. I know it’s late, and I might be seeing it for more than it is right now…the subjective element can work both ways, ie: something you…

There’s just under 60 songs in total in both the YouTube playlist. Could make for something quite different as far as tours goes. I…
Back to a full two hour session this week. Weather wise, it was pissing it down when I left the house this morning. Then it stopped for a bit. Pissed down again. Then eventually stopped for good. Mercifully didn’t get too wet. Who’d believe it’s the middle of June, eh? Blow me! Another small mercy….
Because when new (old – and cleaner – visually – picture quality wise) footage gets unearthed, I just HAVE to have a play around. Steep myself in the deluded sense of artistry. Focus the mind, and the creative process on – the excuse to ogle…basically 🙂
You know what? Well, I was worried about why I had been blocked from the Decade 77-87 Facebook page. And I was genuinely scratching my head wondering why the hell it would be that I was. Then this evening, with a new share of a Simple Minds video compilation they had put together, I realised…
It’s taken me a few days to get around to listen to this. I like it. It’s very expertly done. But…I kept waiting for my fix of the chorus to arrive. At least just one time! And…the best part of Mick’s synths are taken away as a consequence, because they lay behind Jim’s vocal in…
