New Cherry Red Records Compilation CD Set – Featuring A Track By Simple Minds

Due for release late next month “Shake The Foundations” looks like another well thought out Cherry Red release, focusing on what they’re classifying as “Militant Funk and The Post-Punk Dancefloor 1978-1984”. On CD One of the compilation is Empires And Dance album track classic, This Fear Of Gods. Other artists to feature on the set…

So What Happens Now?

I don’t know. I didn’t talk as much about the “strange relationship” as I wanted to. (But I still talked a fuckload!) It was an odd title. I know he chose it for the Prince song but…I kind of missed the connection between the choice of Prince song and the subject of the taxi driver….

It’s Fparks! Lol (Actually – Sparks)

Seeing as I feel as though I am best to stay here in the comfort of my own little webspace panic room, (and not feel like I am harassing Jim) then…. It does look good!

Maxed Out In Minutes – The Anchoress Q&A For Rough Trade

It seems a bit surplus to need of highlighting this, as the tickets for it have already gone – FLOWN OUT ON THE WINDOW in mere hours (perhaps only minutes? Bloody quick sticks anyway!) – but I will talk of it anyway. On release day, Catherine will conduct a Q&A for Rough Trade, hosted by…

A Bedroom Fit For A 14 Year Old (In 1984)

Several months back, I acquired some posters. I recently got a couple up on the walls, which meant removing other SM memorabilia off my walls to make them fit. Today those things were placed back up on the walls with some of the other posters making their debut on my bedroom walls. Also my amazing…

Studio Time – And Other News

Great news from Sarah Brown’s social media pages yesterday. Some more good news would be most welcome. There is such conflicting stuff I’m seeing at the moment when it comes to live music. Who knows where we’ll be by the summer? I’m not feeling very hopeful. The 1975 have cancelled all their 2021 dates, meanwhile…
