May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
But … is he right? This guy gets some factual information wrong, and I disagree on certain aspects, but 100% agree with others. Overall, he makes some really good points. See what you think. I had been thinking about sharing this video after the past 24 hours. Jim’s post today just compounded my decision to…

It was 36 years since the release of Once Upon A Time yesterday. I find it an anniversary that usually passes me by without any fanfare. Unlike April for Life In A Day. Or November for Real To Real Cacophony. Or even my birthday for Big Music (seemingly deemed to be early November these days…
Won this magazine on eBay. Came from a seller in Belgium. I have scanned the whole magazine and will share it soon. In the meantime, I just wanted to share the images that I scanned of the magazine. I tried to clean them up and stop them from looking like little black and white Lichtenstein’s….

Basically a weekly synth geek’s get together to discuss all things Synth and keyboard…
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…
Well, for me anyways. Quite a number of photos I hadn’t seen before in the pages of this little booklet. I’m sharing most of the previously unseen (by me) photos within. A few of them have been around before but I just liked scanning them and having a perhaps better copy than I previously did….
Here is a selection of the things that were on the Oz TV SM DVD that arrived the other day. I put them up on YouTube to save space on my blog. Here goes… And the interview from yesterday – minus the bit of Prince Charles I snuck into it yesterday.
Glasgow is now a city I am longing to live in. The first time I visited Glasgow was in November, 2016. I felt an instant affiliation with the place. It had been many years I had wanted to visit Scotland’s most populous city. My first (and subsequently ONLY one up until that point) visit to…
