Another Chance? Steve Lamacq’s Album Club

I’m not sure if this is going to be a brand new thing? I did seek clarity on this but no reply (so far) has been forthcoming, so I have no idea. The blurb would seem to imply it might be…but it just maybe worded that way in readiness for it being on BBC Sounds…

All That Glisters…

….can be gold. I wrote this about this one on my Priptona Art FB page… Don’t know whether the “mojo” is back…but if not, well…I just love that clip and it usually ends up inspiring something in me. And I just love that little action he makes right at the point he says “gold of…

New Gold Dream – Oxford Road Show, January 1983

I had previously seen them performing I Travel on this ORS episode, but hadn’t seen this performance of New Gold Dream before. It’s as the end credits roll so gets a bit cut off but still gold to see.

Before Lostboy! There Was “Special School” Boy! Lol (Pro Synth Network with Mick MacNeil)

I need to explain this post header. Lol “The Man in the Sky”, Mick MacNeil, was being interviewed….well, more joined in in a live stream chat (with a loose interview in there) for this YouTube channel called the Pro Synth Network. Basically a weekly synth geek’s get together to discuss all things Synth and keyboard…

Simple Minds Top Five

A surprising Simple Minds Top 5, I’d say but probably not from an American fan stand point. And nothing really discussed post 1986 which, well…given the broader subject of this YouTuber’s channel is 1980s music, it makes sense. But…SM did have the high selling Live In The City Of Lights and Street Fighting Years released…

Simple Minds – A Gift From Heaven – Record Mirror 1982 (May/June?)

Not exactly sure of the date. It just came to me as a clipping. I got it because of that Shelia Rock photo of Jim. God, that is such a wonderful photoshoot. There are some beautiful images of Jim in that white outfit – the jaiket and the “jodpurs” as he called them once. I…

Let’s Rock!

A wonderful friend of mine in Oz – Wendy – has done these amazing rock paintings for me. When she showed me the progress of the New Gold Dream themed one a few days back, I cried my eyes out. I knew she was working on a silhouette of Jim but I wasn’t expecting that…

Possibly 1000?

You know when I do these “shrine art” pieces, I sometimes add a random number to the post because I really have no idea how many of these I’ve done. Come September, I’d have been making these (not to this level of quality, mind!) for five years. And given for quite a bit of those…

Minds Music Monday – New Gold Dream – Newcastle City Hall, 1982

Continuing on a Swedish theme…his Kerrness, in a bath in a hotel writing lyrics for this in the summer of 1982, in Sweden. Nom Nom Nom
