Well, seeing as most days there is not much to report, I have decided to coin the SM “Slow News Sunday Summary”. A look at what morsels have been reported via SMO or other related avenues during the past seven days. Cherisse on tour with Kelly Jones in June/July Sir’s been to Sicily Sarah’s Saturday…
A song from the year you were born. I had to think outside the box for this one. The Man Who Sold The World was originally released by David Bowie in 1970.

A fab article inside this month’s Electronic Sound magazine marking the 40th anniversary release of the 7th album by the “Godfathers of Electro-pop”.
He has a point…if I am brutally honest.
Seeing as I was going to be charged £3.99 for delivery of my new artist’s stylus, and yet if I spent £20 in total I’d get free delivery, I thought I might as well bung in some fangirl treasure into the basket. And YES, I bought Neon Lights…BITE ME!! Lol. I really like their version…
