May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I am ssooo looking forward to Friday. After having experienced a concert by one of the most talented songwriters in the world last week, this Friday means another night spent in the presence of one of the world’s best songwriters yet again! How spoiled am I? Neil Finn – in my opinion – does not…
Reading today’s post on SM FB, it sounds as if the days of rest have done Mr Kerr a wealth of good. It sounds as if he is in positively rude health in fact. Which is all good. I’ll stay here in my bunker feeling completely “damned if I do and damned if I don’t.”…
But of course I need to be in a room with him for at least half an hour for that to happen…or challenge him to an online game. Pffft! Like that’ll happen! I’d whip his ass anyways! (Scrabble talk at the end, in case you’re wondering what I’m on about.)
We’re having a bit of a train timetable crisis in Scotland at the moment with services running on sparse timetables. Around a week before this gig I looked at the train timetable to see when the last train from Waverley station back to Queen Street would be. The last service last night was at 10.15pm…
I’ve never seen this interview in its entirety. I’ve only just started watching it now. An hour to interview him?! IN MY DREAMS! Interesting he admits to be nervous. Can’t ever imagine Mr James Kerr Esq. being nervous! When he was being interviewed in 1979? Yes. In 2009? Nae chance… Oh, how I wish for…
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.
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 –…
Jim revealing that he washes just like every other man in the entire world – oxters, sack, crack. That’s it. 60 seconds. Done! Lol
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…
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…
