Well, that makes up for the utter melancholia I was feeling for seeing Simple Minds doing meet and greets across North America and being in Vancouver just TWO DAYS before my birthday. Actual JOHN FUCKING GRANT ON MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY – IN BATH! Just about my favourite place in all of England! Squeeeeee! Thank you,…

The tour is happening in September/October – (as of today) culminating in Vancouver on the 29th – just TWO DAYS before my birthday, OH, HOW I WISH! Although, the one four days prior to that in San Francisco would be the one I’d REALLY WANT to go to. But unless I win the lottery? Nope!…

Wow! Now THAT’S independent radio! Used to love tuning into 2RRR…they became the station that 2JJJ got a little too big to be. If I were to compare? For me, JJJ is the kind of Radio 1 of Sydney, whereas RRR was more the 6 Music. And it’s obviously still a great station. Some of…

It’s amazing when trawling around searching the Internet the kind of titbits you unearth…
It was 41 years ago today (an Easter Monday evening) that a newly formed punk outfit called Johnny And The Self Abusers took the the stage at Doune Castle in Glasgow. This motley crew of Weegie misfits comprised within them one James Kerr, esquire…otherwise known to all and sundry as Jim, and one Charles Burchill,…

Taken to YouTube for something and this appeared on my homepage. It had been a while, so I had to watch it. Geez he’s mesmerising! I know these days when I watch these early performances that he’s most likely off his tits…but it doesn’t make it any less fascinating. Each time I view one of…
