Someone Somewhere In Summertime With LDF
Had a go at tidying up the image of Jim in the SSIS fold-out poster with the 7” vinyl. Don’t know if any of you guys have a crease proof copy, but I don’t…and I have three of them! Lol. 30+ years of being folded up will do that. The crease stubbornly would fall all…
30 Day Song Challenge – Day Twenty One
A song you like with a person’s name in it. Not much choice in the SM canon, but I love this anyway.
Goth Prince Holga Style
Yep! Still loving the holga setting! And the 1982 aesthetic is hitting bad too. The heavy eye makeup and the pallid skin tone…ERMAGERD! Imma gonna say it…this man is beautiful! #SorryNotSorry This could almost have me revisiting the old Laird Dash Fandango stuff. Ooh…now, there’s a thought!

BBC Radio Scotland “Classic Albums” host Davie Scott talks us through New Gold Dream, with input from Jim Kerr, Bruce Findlay, and “rent-a-gob”, Paul Morley (among others).

Magazine Clippings – 1982 – Touring The New Gold Dream
All things New Gold Dream in the touring schedule. It’s 1982, and us antipodean types are still being deemed “colonial”. Lovely! Now, where’s my convict’s outfit? ??? Group photo clipping dated Nov 3rd, 1982 – NME Lyceum gig ad – Nov 20th, 1982 – NME “Return from the colonies” clipping date October 30th, 1982…
