Yesterday saw the anniversary of the release of Real To Real Cacophony. In celebration, here is my favourite video of them performing Factory on Belgian music show, Folllies (yes! It has three L’s – just like me!). I love Jim in this performance sssooo much! I mean…yes…he’s obviously had a “helping hand” but hey, whatever….

I wish I was too frigging proud to cry! Then again, maybe not. Being “too proud to cry” sounds like the most dire emotional detachment to me…
Because… I literally don’t know what else to do.
I was pretty much a U2 fan from the get go. My brother, Quince, is only a few weeks younger than Bono…so U2’s debut release was as about as contemporary as it could get for him! I was half the age, only just coming up to my 10th birthday, but the album spoke volumes to…
I’m reckoning that I work in chronological order. Choose absolute favourite tracks from each album then once they are all collated, streamline and narrow down using certain other criteria until only 50 remain. These start the long list. My “must haves” from Life In A Day.
