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 WaterfrontÂ
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…
A Kerr Tartan Heart – In Medium
The Simple Minds Shop was having a sale…and of course, I got roped in to having a look. Lots of Acoustic Tour merch marked down…but I had been eyeing off a baseball style SM shirt with the “Glasgow ’77” wording and Kerr tartan heart/claddagh logo for a while now. Some lines were “never to be…
New Gold Dream – (ahem) Disco Ring
Oh, it must be a good 24 hours since my last ogle…(lol) “Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I keep looking at Jim Kerr’s nipples.” “Bless you, my child. Say 798 Hail Mary’s and tape your eyes shut. It’s the only way!” Lol I really do think the “jacket with no shirt underneath” look…
Oh, He Just *HAD* To…
Quite literally throw the cat amongst the pigeons! (And talk of a POTENTIAL definite gig next year at the Teatro Greco in Taormina) So, there are two ways to view it: Embrace it: “Yay! A holiday in Sicily. Bucket list. Once in a lifetime…YOLO!” Or Admit defeat: “This band (man) will lead me to rack and…
