Fly Straight, Franco
More sad news today with the passing of one of Italy’s best – actually, the world’s best (to paraphrase someone who had worked with him in the past and held him in great esteem). You will be greatly missed. RIP Franco Battiato

Somewhere There Is Someone…
The Simple Minds family lost one of its own today. News came to the fanbase of the passing of a Dutch fan, Yvonne. We were Facebook friends and had briefly spoken at times. We had spoken of the chance to meet some day. I had sent her one of my art pieces a few years…
Minds Music Monday – 70 Cities As Love Brings The Fall – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration
You can’t escape it. The thing that hits you when your first hear this song is Charlie’s pedal affected riff that makes it sound for all the world like a cow has entered the recording studio to add a repetitive “mooooo” to the music. It’s a bit of an “in joke” in amongst the Simple…

From Auckland To The Norfolk Broads
Well, not quite. Norwich anyway. The University of East Anglia, in fact. I found myself on the hunt for something for someone last night and…going down the usual “rabbit hole” one invariably ends up at. I was on Twitter looking for relevant info to what I was searching for (no luck!) but I happened upon…
