May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Yesterday I was out-anoraked. Jim had posted about it being the anniversary of Life In A Day and smuggins here felt a little bit pleased with herself that he was acknowledging the correct date of release. Well, so I had deluded myself. (And obviously he had thought so too…) The holy bible that is Dream…

As I’m just twiddling my thumbs while the never-ending cycle of limbo continues… Awaiting some kind of good news morsel from base camp SM.
I was preparing a post for the blog that will be posted inline with a anniversary date in the near future. In doing so, I was reminded of this song by this band. Thanks to my older brothers (one of them in particular), I feel I had pretty good taste in music for a nine…
Listening in to Mick MacNeil’s show on Thursday night on Indy Live, I loved hearing him talk about SM’s gig in New York at Hurrah’s – so much so that I took this audio snippet out of it to share here. Of course, you can listen in to Mick’s show on Thursday evenings at…

It’s a strange thing, research. You can be looking for one thing and will unearth something else entirely! Take a song like Here Comes The Fool, for example. It makes its first known live appearance shortly after the release of Life In A Day and is played at gigs in the summer. Here Comes The…
Ermageerrrrrrd! I had seen that picture of Charlie before but NEVER these pictures of Jim! Holy freakballs – I WANT THEM! Laurie Evans – I PRAY you sell these as prints! I’ve GOT to have them! How the hell did it take me TWO MONTHS to find these out on the web?! I suppose I…
Looking at eBay, I noticed this fanzine for sale (at a ridiculous price! Considering what most fanzines are like, and how they were produced). I could see that they were gracious enough to show what was inside with some low res pics (of an already poor quality printed magazine. Rare…but I would not pay £50…
Tour dates for 1979 and an ad for their July 3rd gig at the Marquee. Man, I used to hanker for a TARDIS to go back and see Bowie play the Marquee. He played there several times in his early career. I bet that was not lost on the boys when they played there. Oh,…
I’m putting these two snippets together, as they are both to do with Real To Real Cacophony. One advert from a copy of the NME dated Feb 9th, 1980, with two glowing reviews from David McCullough and Ian Cranna (spelled incorrectly in the ad) – as well as a dedicated (and horribly scathing!) review from…

A Saturday night in Aberdeen…why not?! The blurb on the upload says it would be too early for Scar and Here Comes The Fool to be performed…but I don’t know why Tony would think that as when I look at Dream Giver, both are said to be on the setlist for the Life In A…
