May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
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…
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…
Two proposals thrown at Jim this evening. One quite light-hearted…just for fun, because it was lovely putting the playlists together…and it could make for a tour with a really different setlist. 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…
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…
Last year when I participated in Race For Life for Cancer Research UK – I raised a meagre £68. I had a target of £150. I didn’t even make it to half my target. The only thing that kept me incentivised was…I would be doing something active for my own personal health. How could I…

Aaaww. I was reminded of this little bit of shrine work from years back just a while ago. This could apply to his dad too. Well…probably to all Kerrs, no doubt. I posted it on the wall at the time. It didn’t originally have any words at all. It’s just I always thought I made…
Sir…Jim. Ever hopeful. May I ask again? In case it escaped your attention. Monosyllabic response will suffice. Or it can be more elaborate if you so wish. Need a reply. Do it now. Enlighten me… “Falling here from grace.”
Dang! Okay, so it was a SFY shirt…and well, it isn’t looking too dissimilar in concept to the Grandslam Summer design, to be honest. I know Stuart is the current designer. And he’s fabulous…oh, but to just DREAM of something like that! One break! One special one off. And not even for monetary gain or…
