Pointless Art Thing
Because… I literally don’t know what else to do.

Happy 40th Anniversary – Boy
I was pretty much a U2 fan from the get go. My brother, Quince, is only a few weeks younger than Bono…so U2’s debut release was as about as contemporary as it could get for him! I was half the age, only just coming up to my 10th birthday, but the album spoke volumes to…
Revising The Top 50 – Life In A Day – Album Tracks And B Sides
I’m reckoning that I work in chronological order. Choose absolute favourite tracks from each album then once they are all collated, streamline and narrow down using certain other criteria until only 50 remain. These start the long list. My “must haves” from Life In A Day.
Sycophancy Nancy Strikes Again!
She’s baaaaack! It’s been “Sycophancy Nancy”s turn to make “art” today. She finished off what Prip started last night. During the font layout and wording, she looked at some pre-made phrases and saw the option in the second piece (the cake reference). She initially thought better of it, then decided – half in jest –…
Minds Music Monday – Garden Of Hate (Halloween Countdown)
Another track that is the most Halloween appropriate SM track EVER. Not long to go now to the scariest Halloween of all – and my 50th birthday! ?????
Seeing Your Way Through
What a beautiful thing! A comment from a SM fan that I don’t know on SMOG in regards to a post I put up of the “the light shines brightest in the darkest places” fan art. Restores my faith in humanity. Just when you feel the world is at its worst – there are still…

Someone dropped THIS bombshell this morning as I was preparing my punk themed post… You guys know where to get all the info from. You don’t need me to update you. This blog would be surplus to requirements if its purpose was to report Simple Minds news! Lol. The band have that one covered on…
Punk – A Dirty Word?
Over the past week, I feel the word “punk” has been sullied by a couple of people. One retrospectively. Let me explain: In a previous post here on the blog, I talked about a letter that John Foxx had shared on his FB page. The letter was from David Bowie to Tony Visconti of a…
Two Weeks To Go – A Little Bit Of Cheer
“Don’t you have enough images of Jim?” I hear you ask? Erm…NO! Obviously not! Lol And with the number of images Virginia Turbett has of Jim ALONE, that is unlikely to change soon. I have only a few on my STRICT “shopping list” to go. Which will then have brought my collection of Virginia Turbett…
Ellis Jarrett – Chelsea Girl
Haven’t watched one of Ellis’s videos for ages. He always just sounds so good to me. Dunno why. He just has a nice voice and can strum along pretty well. Always seems quite effortless. I love the pace of this version and the quirks he brings to it.No hi hat to endure! ?????
