Why I Love…Spaceface
It’s that opening. Those opening chords. I find something “otherworldly” about them. I find the words wonderfully upbeat. It’s about escapism (to me it is anyway…my interpretation of it). “She don’t need no rocket ship, Just close her eyes and takes a trip. Baby’s big on aviation, Baby loves a levitation. Yeah, she’s a spaceface…

The title track this week! Absolutely adore the German 12″ Mix as well! And will FOREVER love my reply from Jim re: my favourite exact point of the song. Still one of the most awesome things he said it me…even if he was taking the mick a little :-))

Minds Music Monday – Naked Eye
This, as predicted, having now taken in the full study of the lyrics and working on the art piece for it has now been in my head for days. It was even the first song played on shuffle mode this morning as I listened to the boys when going (or trying to go!) to sleep.
Spreading The Love…

He only has 2 other albums of theirs, excluding the one shown…so I am gifting him my spare copy of Sister Feelings Call as he needs more SM, stat! I have previously gifted him my copy of…
