May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I listened to this over again early on Sunday morning. I love how clearly Jim’s voice comes across on this recording. I don’t know who was responsible for recording it? Frank, mabbies? Seeing as it’s a soundboard recording…? Dunno. But I am sssoooo very thankful it exists! I mean, Newcastle from the week before is…

This song has a similar personal feeling for me than Spaceface does. Almost like they fit hand in glove. Even with the similarities in title – Space/Spaceface. There’s also a line within Wonderful In Young Life that fits in with the theme that I find particularly poignant. “Surviving these changes in paces and faces in…
I wish I was everything he is reflected right back, but I am the antithesis of all that he is. He is light, and he is beauty. All those Halloween pieces of work I made? They were just bits of fun. Meaningless guff! He’s not the devil, or DraKERRla, a fallen angel, or any of…
I don’t know why I have never made it a week long bit of fun before, but here we are. It’s a weird kind of therapy. It puts me at ease and let’s me have fun for a while. Allows me to stay in my cocoon whilst having a bit of fun while wrapped up…

Oh, at long last! After nine months in the tightest restrictions in all of the UK, Glasgow came out of Level 3 lockdown last Saturday, June 5th. I was happy to let a few days pass by at least until we tried to get out and see anything. Just bide time a little longer. We…
A watercolour painting of a blackbird in song that I had commissioned by my amazingly talented friend, Deb. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I like to give birds alliterative names. All my own crappy creations ended up with alliterative names and so upon deciding on a name for Bryn I thought about…
Normal service for MMM will resume next week, but until then I’d like to share a special gift from my mate Baggers. Kant Kino is one of my favourite, if not my MOST FAVOURITE, Simple Minds instrumental. Only problem is, it’s so short! “No probs. I’ll sort it!”, said Baggers to me and lo! He…
I had a mix of dreams this morning. Some were a little anxiety inducing. Others were just about all I dream of every day of my life. I was sitting in a rather fantoosh looking kitchen…a kind of breakfast bar area of this kitchen. So…not in my house this place. I guess I was in…
