Thanks for the fresh upload. Oh, this is just beautiful and clear (shame about the second of Jimmy Savile at the beginning).
Forever Bowie Friday – Happy Left-Handers Day!
I did say that I was going to start a Bowie themed weekly post, didn’t I? And I had decided I was going to theme the day as “Forever Bowie Friday”? Well, what I have seen today spurred me on to start. Because today just happens to be Left-Handers Day! The day when left-handed people…

Minds Music Monday – Love Song – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration
The song was written at the beginning of 1981 in Edinburgh after a conversation between Jim and John Leckie in which Leckie thought Jim should try his hand at writing a more “traditional” love song. Kerr’s is anything but traditional. In fact, I am firmly of the belief that it is anything BUT a love…

The Sparks Brothers – Review – Glasgow Film Theatre – August 5th, 2021
As usual, I’ll give a preamble to what happened with watching the film. That spark of spontaneous conversation that only ever seems to happen in Glasgow. It happened AGAIN today. We arrived (myself and my OH) outside the Glasgow Film Theatre, located on Rose Street, around 1.20pm. Me doing my usual “I MUST NOT REFER…

The Tube – THE WHOLE EPISODE! November, 1982.
OMG! THIS IS SSOOO AWESOME TO SEE THE WHOLE EPISODE OF THE TUBE – OF THEM ON IT IN 1982. Oh, how I can dream to be sitting in front of the telly that night just…in awe of Jim. Needing a bucket in front of me to collect the drool! Dear God! What a gem!…

No More Fur Babies
One week ago today, we said goodbye to ASAP and Sultan and surrendered them back into the care of Cats Protection for rehoming. It was the most heartbreaking decision and I didn’t stop crying the rest of the day and into the next. I haven’t spoken about it on Facebook because there is so much…
“Grace” Does Love Song
I am embarrassed to fuck by this! And I will absolutely CRINGE at the thought of anyone listening to it (Scott – don’t you get ANY ideas of doing ANYTHING with this!) – but, it was fun also. Let me explain it. I started working on compiling my post for Love Song for Minds Music…
“Grace” Does Love Song
I am going to embarrass the f*** out of myself! I will absolutely CRINGE at the thought of anyone listening to this (Scott – don’t you DARE get any ideas about doing ANYTHING with this!!!) – but also, it was fun trying to do a pastiche of Grace Jones. Let me explain the reason for…
My Saturday Afternoon “Feels“
This is so dark, yet so sexy. I’ve been listening a BBC 4 Radio play adaptation of Tess of the d’Urbervilles and it reminds me of a scene out of it. I’ve been reading interviews with Jim of late in which he says there’s beauty in fear. In addition to that I’d say there is…
Today’s Earworm – “I’m A Dude…”
Suddenly had Bowie’s version of All The Young Dudes playing in my head this afternoon – thinking about Jim waxing lyrical of his love for Mott The Hoople. Obviously he was in good company, as David gifted them All The Young Dudes as a way of imploring them not to break up. (He had initially…
