Paris Review – Part Two: ‘Song Please!’
Picking up where I left off from yesterday… I didn’t really say too much about the actual soundcheck. And I can only remember two of the songs that were performed – Hypnotised (seemed pretty apt for me! Lol) and The Walls Came Down (which Jim said will be on the new album coming out). It…
Paris Review – Part One: The Long Story? Or The REALLY Long Story?
I guess it’s best to start with the really long story and edit it from there… so may I start? I slept soundly enough Wednesday night and into Thursday. Probably didn’t settle down quite as early as I should have, but at least sleep wasn’t elusive that night and I got a good few hours…

What To Say – What NOT To Say…
More to come about Paris soon…. How much more? Unsure. For now? This. ????
Cannoli Get Better?
Good news from His Nibs today in his latest post. A number of good news pieces, for him – Villa Angela has once again opened its doors (just in case that whole “being the frontman for the best live band in the world” suddenly starts to go all pear-shaped after 40+ years, like). Whilst it…
What Does Bob Know About Art Anyway?
“You don’t learn how to be an artist by going to school. It’s something you’re born with. It’s about observing the world – but laying down your own truth.” The quote above was at the end of Jim’s post today, credited to Bob Lefsetz. Before I continue on about Lefsetz I want to say that…
Minds Music Monday – Hunter And The Hunted – Australia, 1982
There’s a recording I have from Sydney but there is one on YT from Melbourne – same tour, around 10 days apart. To me, when I listen to both these recordings, Jim sounds thoroughly exhausted – especially on both recordings of Hunter And The Hunted – and they both are placed early in the set….

Countdown To Paris – Gig Day!
Arrived safely in Paris. It’s aeound 6am And Ii’m typing without my glasses on. Had hardly any sleep. Serenaded by the snorer from hell. Thought I packed earplugs but couldn’t find them in my bag. Much to my detriment. Sorry for any typos but…. YAY! GIG DAY IN PARIS!!!
A Kerr – I Care…
A curious thing happened yesterday. Jim posted a photo of himself and Gordy – looking for all the world like a coupla Glesga gangstas – a great image, really, esp. as it was given more menace by Jim’s face being obscured by shade. Despite it feeling much like “pissing in the wind” these days, I…
New Book Release by Sheila Rock
I had discussions about this with Malcolm Garrett as he said he was feeling a little nervous and overwhelmed to be asked to contribute to it (I think it might be this particular release anyway). He at least spoke to me about Sheila bringing out a book and I am guessing this may be the…
