May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Jim and Charlie involved in a special gig tonight in Glasgow, in aid of Save The Children Child Refugee Crisis Appeal. If you can’t make the gig (like I, myself) then please donate using the link below. I already have :-)) http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/about-us/emergencies/child-refugee-crisis-appeal
Beautiful birthday card from my Other Half – complete with Robert Smith wanting to lick Jim and Jim checking his “watch” at Cambridge during the extended “Don’t You” sing-a-long. Lol
Some fantastic photos of Jim Kerr on Getty Images, circa 1983. Pictures by Brian Rasic. I’ve seen the picture on the right around, but have never seen it so clear and crisp. He’s gorgeous (as ever!) in this one. A new fave, I think. Such a pretty, pretty bhoy! *sigh*

The very first time I heard it, I fell in love with it. It’s Mick MacNeil’s organ playing (I’m assuming it’s an organ, it sounds like one) that first hooked me in.

(via priptona-weird) And…in slo-mo, because he is so utterly, wonderfully glorious. Jim Kerr – I love you ??
(via priptona-weird) This is one of my most favourite bits of footage of Jim, ever. He is absolutely gorgeous. I adore him…
