Seeing Through The Eyes Of Love
A fun afternoon in sunny Glesga.
Before Lostboy! There Was “Special School” Boy! Lol (Pro Synth Network with Mick MacNeil)
I need to explain this post header. Lol “The Man in the Sky”, Mick MacNeil, was being interviewed….well, more joined in in a live stream chat (with a loose interview in there) for this YouTube channel called the Pro Synth Network.

Deleting BIG video files but uploading them to YouTube before deletion. So, now that means this post has one big original video, which I have just uploaded to…
I Wish Life Could Be Swedish Magazines…
The line from Iggy Pop’s Five Foot One could not be a more appropriate title because, right now, I DO wish “life could be Swedish magazines”. Well, newspapers might be more accurate. Anyway, that’s semantics. This morning on the Simple Minds Official Group (or should that now just be “Simple Minds Group”?), a Swedish fan…
Pleasantly Disturbed – New Hanging Around Books Release!
A new release by Hanging Around Books sees images taken in 1978 by Laurie Evans feature in the book. I feel ssooo bad as I made the horrendous assumption that Laurie is a man! My apologies, Laurie. I’ve been waiting a while on this one as I had contacted Laurie some time back from seeing…
