May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
The book is progressing… I thought about doing yet ANOTHER vlog post today because – I feel exhausted. The thought of writing felt draining but I knew I’d get lost through myriad tangents if I recorded a vlog post and veer off course too much. Also, I’d have to show my hideous and drained face…

What a difference a week can make, eh? I tried to shield the blog from it as much as possible, although it didn’t escape unscathed as my mood last weekend was probably at the worst it had been all year – culminating in a complete anxiety attack and me considering chucking in the whole uni…
Exciting news! There will be a new “Priptona Talks” interview on the blog soon. I am excited by this one! As I have been with all my previous interviews. More details on that to come, so keep an eye out. Last week there was a rather unexpected parcel that arrived on my doorstep. The sender…

I have been patiently waiting for this since Jim first mentioned it in a post back in August. The…as phrased in tweet you can see below (and retweeted by Bruce Findlay who subsequently brought it to my attention)…GALLUS, Francis Xavier Gallagher, has a podcast that starts next week. Such was the wait that when Frank…
Recorded by SM’s sound tech (of then), Frank Gallagher, in San Francisco. The boys sound really on the mark here. I love this song. It’s probably my fave album title track of theirs along with New Gold Dream and Walk Between Worlds (honourable mention to Graffiti Soul as well). Anyway, I love that ad lib…
