Early Days
I love listening to Abusers/early SM stuff. I still wish I’d been around then. I guess I always will.

Minds Music Monday – 5th Anniversary – Hunter And The Hunted
It’s anniversary time. Five years since I had an absolute heart attack and fell in love with Jim even harder than I ever thought possible! ???? I never thought my heart rate was ever going to return to a normal rhythm. And I was off to see kitties that day in Oz! And I had…

The Classic Pop “Super Fan”
I had been pondering doing this for some time, once I felt my collection had been big enough to deem it worthy. Probably the past 18 months or 2 years, but we were so crammed in our place in Luton, it never really seemed doable. Then we moved to Glasgow, had much more space to…
Minds Music Monday – Someone Somewhere (In Summertime) – Live
Today is the Winter Solstice. The shortest day in the northern hemisphere. Also Jupiter and Saturn align tonight to make what is deemed the “Christmas Star” – a once in 400 year alignment.

Hanging Around – With My Man In Germany

A New Gig…In Retrospect
A new bootleg has been uploaded to YouTube from the ever elusive but ever fabulous Art & Talk. This one hails from the Real To Real Cacophony Tour of 1979/80 and is performed in Hamburg on March 5th, 1980. And although still seen as the Real To Real Cacophony Tour, there are tracks from Empires…
Minds Music Monday – The American (Interference Mix)
I think sumbliminial thoughts play so much a part in one’s thought processes. I suddenly thought about the word “interference” and how much relevance it has to me right now. Yes. Anyway, this is “uber” dancey, and not to everyone’s liking, I appreciate, but I love it. The pace of it. The way they’ve chopped…

Minds Music Monday – Waterfront Extended Version – Happy St Andrew’s Day
One year ago from today (yesterday) we “moved on up to the Waterfront” and arrived in our new home, and to Scotland, and Glasgow. And on that beautiful, crisp, clear morning – despite feeling so incredibly tired and a little violated, having been robbed for the first time in my life – I already within…

Saxy Deutsche Charlie
I love this story Ronnie Gurr shared of how Charlie ended up with the toy saxophone that Ronnie pictured him with and is printed in the first “Hanging Around” book.
Happy Birthday Charlie Burchill!
Many happy returns, Mr Burchill – 61 years young, today!
