Musilac Aix-les-Bains?
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!

Minds Music Monday – Kant Kino
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…
Billy’s Best Gigs
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…

An Influence *OF* The Noise?
Well, one would like to wish! The first line of TSATN reminded me of a discussion once had with Jim… “Take off those headphones and let this world pour into you”…
The Signal And The Noise…AND THE DRAMA
This is how listening to The Signal And The Noise for the first time has left me feeling… Just….the drama of it! Full of atmosphere, dark…a real “hark back” in sound for me. Some don’t hear it…but I do! Worried about it lyrically initially. It was the music that grabbed me this time…I need to…
