The Glasgow Magic
Well, this is just a little bit awesome! Crowded House are gonna have to do a bloody good job next week to get near SM for best gig I’ve experienced (so far!) at the Hydro. Buzzing to see When You Come live though.
Touching Base With The Anchoress
Yay! It’s Friday – I’m In Love …. is the new Bandcamp Friday offering from The Anchoress. Officially released on Tuesday (don’t ask me, I think it was Bandcamp’s decision as an end-of-the-month special or something?), it’s the latest regular release that The Anchoress has made. Catherine is currently working on a covers album –…
Someone’s Washing In The Shower…
Jim revealing that he washes just like every other man in the entire world – oxters, sack, crack. That’s it. 60 seconds. Done! Lol
Roll ‘VT’?
And when I say ‘VT’, I don’t mean Virginia Turbett. I am referring to a new song that was performed in Freiburg on Friday night. A song off the new album? Strange, for when it came to Walk Between Worlds, they kept things very close to their chests. I don’t think they were like that…
Consitently Persistent?
The one thing I took away from the talk between John Dingwall and Graeme Thomson at the Mitchell Library during the Aye Write festival was Graeme talking about persistence. “You need to be persistent,” he said. He did mean it in a rather specific context. (How to get Jim to move away from anecdotal tales…
Art (between) School
I haven’t made a single Priptona Art piece in 2022. And they weren’t exactly regular prior to that but I guess there must be SOME truth about ‘the muse’ – and mine for visual art, at least, is very obviously a young Jim Kerr. (Sorry, Jim. Just call me a superficial count! Lol) I worked…
Stills From….The Most Perfect Clip EVER!
Just so I wouldn’t be down on missing the gig at Freiburg tonight….I have these. He’s beautiful! Good night.
Warning: Melting Fangirl Alert!!!
I know I shouldn’t…but HOLY SHIT…Jim Kerr in 1981 is the most beautiful, most extraordinary thing I have ever seen in my life. (I still love you, Jim! I would NEVER say ‘no’ – not in a bajillion years! … this is why he hates me – I’m ssooo fucking superficial!) THIS FOOTAGE IS JUST…
LITCOL At 35
You know how lately I have talked about being a part from things, rather than feeling a part of things when relating to the Simple Minds fandom? Well, today is an absolute case in point. Fans waxing lyrical about LITCOL as Jim posts about the 35th Anniversary of its release. It’s not an album I…
Five Years…
“My brain hurts a lot…that’s all we’ve got.” May 25th has such a special significance to me now – because it’s the anniversary of this… 2017 is when it happened – and I was hopeful but not expectant. Just hopeful. Never believing I would get greeted in the way I did. I know we shouldn’t…
