Jim Kerr on Saturday Live – BBC Radio 4
Jim was on Radio 4 this morning as part of the guests on Saturday Live. I’ve edited a copy for the blog for permanency and for overseas listeners to enjoy. Listen below…
Is Prip Back?
Well, this is the first little thing I’ve done in over two months. Might as well try and get the eye in again, and try and get back to something. Hope the muse returns. Try to push it into coming back. It may lead nowhere…I may come back with full flourish…OR BETTER! (Geez, I hope.)…
What To Do?
I really don’t know what to do with this blog at the moment. In the past, today would be a “Kerrsday Thursday” – the day coined as a lame excuse for some ogling. Be it by pictures or video. I’ve pretty much shared every pic I have been able to without infringing copyright…and others I…

I am ssooo tired from last night. A full review will be on the blog tomorrow, but for now, here are a few pics and a video of Someone Somewhere In Summertime. Enjoy!
Reversal Of Fortune…
I do think we may have gone full circle now. I am so happy…but more than happy…relieved. In all honesty, the only thing I really regret now (apart from the obvious…) is – taking my Priptona name away. But, I was thinking that, if I had been banished from SMO, I may as well revert…
Long Live Vinyl – Essential Post-Punk
Great to see this in the latest edition of Long Live Vinyl magazine. The hallowed Empires And Dance where it should be…part of a list of the best and most influential post-punk albums to listen to.
