Quite Possibly The Best Post…Ever

And that includes posts he’s done when he has shared and used my art as the centrepiece picture. This is just…too awesome! I don’t care if it repulses you…today I am saying it loud and proud… Jim Kerr – I love you! ??

RIP Pollyn

I am genuinely saddened to hear that an electronic group from LA called Pollyn are breaking up. I became aware of Pollyn from search results with Spotify. In the early days of Spotify, I would search by genre and just listen to bands and artists I’d never heard of before.  Pollyn were one such group…

New Acquisitions – Inc. Glittering Prize Laser Disc!!!

OH MY GOOD LORD! On the rarity scale of Simple Minds memorabilia…fewer things could be more highly prized (a GLITTERING PRIZE indeed!) than the Glittering Prize compilation on laser disc. Just…wow! Was almost as much as a house mortgage…but hey ho!  The Good News From The Next World vinyl is STILL shrink wrapped and unplayed! …

Humanistic – Kawala

Had never heard about this until Sir brought it up in this morning’s post. I see people in the comments referring to it on Discogs, etc. Well…I couldn’t help myself. One vinyl copy from Discogs already purchased this morning…but I looked at eBay too and there is a four track CD single as well!  I…

Simple Minds – Lightning

Because I tend to listen to a Minds mix on Spotify in bed at night, I may not hear a particular song for several weeks (shuffle mode never really moves away much from a set number of songs it plays…never really seems like a true randomised algorithm). A case in point: this morning, 7am. I…

Why I Love…Factory

A fabulous synth intro from Mick, then a fabulous classic rock riff from Charlie. And then….like the crashing elevator within the chorus, in comes Jim with such stilted and stark lyrics…getting straight to the point of it! It’s bleak. It’s dystopia! Industrial. Gritty. In a pea-soup fog. It’s a Lowry painting. It’s Fritz Lang’s Metropolis….

The Dilemma And Tussle Is Real…

My friend Claudia shared this meme on her Facebook timeline earlier. I replied to her saying “I want this to be true, but I am not convinced”. I went on to say…”Still…you only lose by NOT doing it…so what is there to lose? (Other than maybe some self-respect? Lol) This is me…every day…when I’ve done…

Rewind To The Waterfront 

Well, as it happened…I wouldn’t have had to “behave” too much…as I’d have got some safe ogling in from him being on the stage after all! Too bad I was skint to f***. Could hardly have justified it for ONE song (although I’m sure I would have enjoyed more than that). Oh well. I shouldn’t…
