May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Seems as if the wee Icehouse SM colab cover of Get It On is getting much more promo “back home” than it is here. Anyway, good that the little clip was put up on YouTube to see. The tour will be “wilder” than 1981? Lol. I highly doubt it! Given the kind of stuff they’d…

These photos are AMAZING! Taken of the band during their inaugural tour of Australia in 1981. I just wanted to share these seeing as it’s Kerrsday and the colour photos feature mainly Jim on his own.

I knew it was coming and….oh, man alive, this one stings HARD! I was sssooooo close, pre-Covid, for it all coming to fruition. I had concert tickets booked, a place to stay – all I needed was to book my flight closer to the time and it looked as if it was all going to…

Or, as I know them better as, Spy Vs Spy – but the guys got themselves into trouble from the comic publication of the same name so they had to alter their name for legal reasons. My love for them started around 1987. They had released the album A.O. Mod. TV Vers. at the end…
That sentence being, “Well, I might make it a poster on my studio wall also!”. I can’t tell you what that sentence did to me! Just waking up at my mum’s house and seeing the post and the way my heart pounded away. Silly really. It had been a long time since something had made…

I love a podcast and recently I have been going through quite a heavy spell of podcast listening. There are some long regulars like The Archers – I know! Had you told me when I first moved to the UK and learned about The Archers that I’d start listening to it several years later and…
