May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
We read what we want to read, don’t we? Even with the text there written out in black and white, we can still end up interpreting things as we want to – can’t we? It’s really great to have Jim posting daily again. I actually can’t quite believe he’s posted THREE DAYS IN A ROW…

Want something SPOOKY to get your teeth into for Halloween? Then may I suggest the Battersea Poltergeist? I have spent the past week freaking myself out listening to this podcast at night…in bed…in the dark. Literally shitting myself! Lol. It is really creepy – well I found it creepy. The story centres around a house…

“It isn’t creating art. It’s a job in the service of information.” A great interview with Malcolm Garrett in the latest edition of Electronic Sound magazine. (And who knew he’d produced music?! I didn’t! You learn something new every day, folks!) Click the “Assorted iMaGes” (you see what I did there? Lol) for a better…
Over 21 years I’ve had this. It was one of the first things I bought when I arrived in the UK. A souvenir of my first ever visit to London, in the summer of 1999. It has been the mug I have used first every day ever since. Either for tea (I wasn’t a coffee…
A change of display in the snap frames for Kerrsday.
A few other fans in the groups I am on mentioned this set of photos being sold on eBay. A photographer named Pete Still is selling a set of 30 photos that he took during a gig at the Lyceum Theatre in London on December 8th, 1982. I’m not sure what kind of kit he…

The boys hit the road at the end of April and into early May to headline a tour showcasing the forthcoming album, Flight Of Ideas. I had already mentioned the album launch and signing happening at Rough Trade East in London on April 4th – beyond that are dates as listed below. I would DEARLY…
