Minds Music Sunday – Sweat In Bullet – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration – ANNIVERSARY DAY!
The allure of repetition manifests itself most strongly within all of the Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call’s tracks in Sweat In Bullet. Three solid blocks of repetitive text from Jim Kerr, with a vocal performance to match. This is the most Burroughs-esque of all of Jim’s writing from the period. If you are not familiar…
Empires That Dance – Love Song
To coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the release of Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call, Empires That Dance (the collaborative trio of George Porter, Andy Inniss and Gordy Goudie) have released their fabulous reimagined working of Love Song. You can view the excellent video below. Empires That Dance have been releasing their own interpretations to…
On Next Week’s Show
Ronnie talking about me appearing on his show next week. It’s really real now! Gah!!!
Waxing Lyrical On The Airwaves
This is probably going to be the biggest aspect of the whole Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call celebration, from my own personal viewpoint, than anything else I could have imagined. (Bar the band announcing some last minute gig going on in Glasgow for it. Settle down! I’ve heard NOTHING – I’m just dreaming!) What are…

It’s very curious to read that League Of Nations was worked on in the early recording sessions of the Sons/Sister albums because it really does sound so incomplete! And especially given that as soon as they go on tour for the album – the first leg of the tour within the UK – they are…
Minds Music Monday – Wonderful In Young Life – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration
I’ve written about this song so much – when I actually COULD write about it! When I could somehow manage to express all that it means to me. The first time I heard it I was probably only about four weeks into my fandom. It brought me to tears the very first time. I had…
Minds Music Monday (On A Wednesday!) – 20th Century Promised Land – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration
As “the speed of light is moving on“ and we are now less than three weeks away from the anniversary of the release date of Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call, I still have “something to prove and much to present” (to paraphrase the song being highlighted today). So, today I present a special midweek edition…
