May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Last night I was in Oxford seeing Kelly Jones on the final night of his “Don’t Let The Devil Take Another Day” solo tour of the UK. I will review the gig in a dedicated post shortly. But while I was at the gig last night, news of this broke out within the fandom… Now…
Jim will be on with Zoe on Monday, September 30th. The program starts at 6.30am BST.

News on the Virginia Turbett front. There’s a book on Iggy Pop coming out. In his own words, it seems.

The “rumbles” continue…crashing like waves to the shore…soon leading to a full on tsunami…
UPDATE: I’ve pulled a rabbit out of the hat in the past 24 hours. Booked a ticket for the gig.
