May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Now… I really am not one for the rumour mill/speculation thing…but we have been waiting SSSSOOOO long…and there is just a tantalising little morsel…just a dear little piece of joy to bring a flutter to the heart…and it’s this. I hope and pray it is true…but, it’s Amazon…but also…IT’S AMAZON! So there has to be…
A fantastic opportunity…but I do wonder whether Liam is any relation to Lily Warring? The little cynic in me says “Yeah, because you just…contact the band and they say ‘yeah, sure’, just like that!” These things NEVER happen! You’d NEVER get the lead singer (and head diva) of a band doing stuff like that…not with…

That start. The bass and clang…something gritty and industrial about it. Almost like it’s going to turn into a Einstürzende Neubauten track! Then a wonderfully buzzing style of synth that comes in.

…the fan…or should that be the FANS? And then to FINALLY talk about it openly and STILL be accused of being cryptic? Poor, Jim. The undercurrent for anyone with an INKLING of savvy has been that for weeks….months now that it’s “all change” on the SM front. I don’t want to go over it all…
I love this man far, far too much! This absolutely made my night (even if he is dissing ELO…like a bitch! Lol). Thank you, Sir! I love you ?? You could have spelled her name right though… (If not immediately obvious, I had posted to the visitor wall about said photo…little expecting ANY response to…
