May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Tour dates for 1979 and an ad for their July 3rd gig at the Marquee. Man, I used to hanker for a TARDIS to go back and see Bowie play the Marquee. He played there several times in his early career. I bet that was not lost on the boys when they played there. Oh,…

Wallowing in self-pity and throwing myself into getting nearer that SM lyric art deadline. My birthday should feel WAAAY off…but it doesn’t.

One can only imagine your baws were lowered into a bucket of ice for your voice to get that low? Lol) and Don’t You (Forget About Me). Now, there…
This one is ALL in the font. I used the imagery before for one I made for Citizen (Dance Of Youth). But it *IS* Simple Minds on the Old Grey Whistle Test doing Chelsea Girl, so, why not use it for that? Being able to wrap the font around Jim like that to emphasise the…
