May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It’s the 1981 aesthetic. Jim wearing collared shirts and tailored trousers. All very Great Gatsby and just oozing sophistication and sex appeal. He looks like a 1940s film star. So I coined the nickname “Laird Dash Fandango” for him, to sum up the look and his stage presence at the time. Stills from the Sweat…
Someone: It’s quite manic the way it starts then sounds traditional rock. Almost pub rock. Post punk. But “poppy”. I love that little “doo wop” bit too. The magic of a song that sounds catchy and upbeat, but if you take note of the lyrics…there’s a slightly different story going on. But we’re looking for…
About 8 hours of work, spread over the past two days. I’m sure it’s shit. I’ll probably end up hating it because I overcooked it. Anyways. I love Murder Story. Stay tuned tomorrow for my silly little LIAD anniversary post. Wish I could tell you I’m posting an interview with Jim on here…but alas, no….
Because I bloody miss you! I am starting to get VERY severe withdrawal symptoms, Mr Kerr. Please remedy this, sharpish! (Yeah, I can keep on wishing. I know!) You know, regular FB interactivity allows me not to miss you so much, oh wonderful Sir Kerrmeister 🙂 Just saying. And you need to stop pointing with…

A song that reminds you of yourself – An oldie but what a goodie! A JATSA legacy track. And, well, I was known for being a right “little bitch” in my younger days. Oops! Lol
A song you remember from your childhood – I chose this particular clip because it’s Countdown. I don’t really remember them performing on it, though I would have been watching Countdown at the time. Jim is just so fucking sexy and cool in this. And the manbag is just…a legend. Ah…”sherbet straws”. Lol Love Song…
Cherisse’s best bud and fellow drummer extraordinaire, Emily Dolan Davies, shared a piece of advise several months back in a YouTube clip and I followed it last week and it is already proving invaluable. I felt silly, yes! I felt silly for taking it along with me and I almost just left it in my…
Billy Sloan when presenting his weekly Saturday night show for BBC Radio Scotland has a theme every week, as part of listener participation. This week it was who do you think is the greatest songwriter/lyricist and an example of two lines that you believe perfectly encapsulates their prowess. Now, whenever I mention SM my things…
