May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
My friend, Sue, posted about this on SMOG. To be honest, it was the only way I would be alerted to it. I used to do all the super enthusiastic fan stuff….trawl through social media each morning to see what new morsels of things about the band and Jim were on offer. Even when I…
Jim will be joining Guy Pratt and Gary Kemp on their Rockonteurs podcast this Sunday. Here’s a little preview snippet they linked to on their Twitter account… Obviously I am going to be “otherwise engaged” on Sunday (Newcastle gig, meet and greet, ya da ya da) so I’ll catch up on Monday.

“In the first part of this season, James Dean Bradfield looks at the influence of Chilean musician and revolutionary singer Victor Jara on modern Music.” JDB talks to Charlie during the podcast. Of interest to many of us SM fans, no doubt. Link to the podcast below.
Jim posted about it yesterday, saying he was asked about Mandela. It’s all well and good they were asking about Mandela Day. As you say, under current circumstances it makes sense. But I still can’t help but feel pangs of envy. I mean, geez, it’s their SECOND interview in as many years and I can’t…

This story is incredible and the corresponding podcast is one of the best produced podcasts I’ve heard. Part docu-drama, part narrative by journalist Helena Merriman, it tells the story of Joachim Rudolph, a defector and refugee that escapes from East Berlin in the early months of the enforcement and communist DDR crackdown on the Berlin…
