May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Quite a good review, but a shame this young person doesn’t see either Minds themselves, or the B52s shaking off the “nostalgia” label. Sad they ended their review by calling both bands “overtly” 80s. Read the review HERE
I never expected this to ever happen again. I don’t do it to get a nod, in all honesty, I don’t. I do them just because I love making them. It is the prime motivation for them. Just the joy of being creative and making something visually stunning (and HOW the subject matter helps!). A…
I think a few of my friends are under the false impression that because I am doing this SM art print give away that I’ve had a rejection to use SM lyrics and song titles in my art pieces from BMG. Erm…chance would be a fine thing – of my EVER getting a response from…

Last night (Oz time) the guys were playing on my home turf. I’ve never seen a gig at the Hordern Pavilion – and if there was one gig I would have wanted to see there, then… Great reviews again from fans on SMO. Will post pics and pro reviews as they come in. One fan…
I had a little three way convo today (if you could call it that) between Bruce Butler (whose involvement in the music industry I was BLINDLY IGNORANT OF at this point) and Harry Williams (who will probably, no doubt, turn out to be some award-winning music journalist/historian!
