LOOK OUT! CLIIIIIIIIFF!!!!
Oh, I shouldn’t be so bitchy and snarky…but when someone on SMO asked whether Mel Gaynor was still “on board”…my mind thought of Jim’s reply to someone several weeks back and…I quickly put this montage together.

But a mere three weeks away…
Now officially on the airwaves for your delectation – should have a Ziggy style recommendation coming with it “TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME” – well, that’s MY recommendation anyway. Enjoy!
Short article/interview with Ged Grimes in the current issue of Bass Player magazine.
It’s official! Aix-Les-Bains is a GO! Look at that lineup! Dunno the French woman/group…but I’m open to finding out! Never been to a big old European festival before…and just a few days after SOMEONE’S birthday. Aawwwww. Near enough to a birthday gig…seeing as he appears to be taking a few days off for his birthday….
Tick tock!
Kinda thinking of it…I must admit. Have done since it was announced…deemed it “pie in the sky” but now have it in mind again. LOOK AT THIS PLACE! And…not just the drawcard of Minds…but Depeche Mode AND The Stranglers too! That setting, though…(the venue is to the bottom right of the foreground…by the marina.
It is my favourite SM instrumental. I really don’t know why I find it such an emotional piece, but I do. There is just something I find really…tender… about that riff of Charlie’s. It’s short, repetitive loop just brings me to tears…and perhaps it is that combined with that end reel to reel tape loop…
I am now quite a regular listener to Billy Sloan’s show each week on BBC Radio Scotland. This week was a fascinating show, with him asking the big names of music, sport and politics what their favourite gig of all time was. At the 1 hour, 36 minute mark, you can hear Sir’s choice…won’t spoil…
A nice response to my latest piece…although I was a bit confused as to who he meant, initially… He clarified things with an edit… Thank you, Sir 🙂
