May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Damn you, Kyle! Lol Oh well, you’ll do a much better job than I ever could anyways. Best to leave it to the pros, hah? Anyway, I’m off to listen to it. Was too excited to share it first before even listening to it.
Still keeping busy. Still with fingers in several musical (and other) pies, and still touring – what’s Steve Hillage up to these days? Mojo magazine finds out…
This is near as I am ever likely to get of interviewing Jim myself, so….in keeping with the current loose theme of the blog and the imminent anniversary date of the release of Life In A Day, here are some words from Jim on the subject. The interview is nearly 10 years old now. Would…

An article in Mojo magazine about David Bowie’s brief musical evolutionary period with The Lower Third via interview and book extracts with the band’s drummer, Phil Lancaster. The book sounds like it could be an interesting read, actually. I still find the story of David endlessly fascinating. I no doubt forever will. “It’s too late…
A great and rather open interview with Michael Rother in Uncut magazine, exploring his music career, focusing on his time working with Klaus Dinger on Neu! – a rather fractious and strained musical partnership by Rother’s own account, moving on to Harmonia and finally working solo. It has given me more musical off shoots to…
