Oh My Giddy Bloody Aunt – JOHN GRANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY!
Well, that makes up for the utter melancholia I was feeling for seeing Simple Minds doing meet and greets across North America and being in Vancouver just TWO DAYS before my birthday.

Was about to start working on something but saw this pic and had to caption it. Charlie’s face especially…???
Minds Music Monday – Love Song – Fave Mix

The Trooser Tuck
It has intrigued me for too long. Nae more!

Interview With Jim On 2RRR – Retropopic Radio
Wow! Now THAT’S independent radio! Used to love tuning into 2RRR…they became the station that 2JJJ got a little too big to be. If I were to compare? For me, JJJ is the kind of Radio 1 of Sydney, whereas RRR was more the 6 Music. And it’s obviously still a great station. Some of…

Bryan Ferry – Johnny And Mary
I am absolutely IN LOVE with this version of Johnny And Mary. I enjoyed listening to Avonmore but WOW to this at the end! There had always been this underlying melancholia to the song I adored…but Bryan and Todd turned it up to 11. It’s beautiful!
