UPDATE: The auctioned closed this evening with the scarf reaching £568! Well done for Cahonas Scotland on raising such a fab amount for your charity. Goddamn! These things ALWAYS hit at the wrong time! When his boots got auctioned off, I couldn’t bid. And now I doubt I’ll be able to bid on this, either….
For this week’s Minds Music Monday, I thought I would combine some things. Firstly, it is Charlie Burchill’s birthday at the end of this week. Happy birthday, Charlie! Also, just a week or so ago, we saw the re-release of the Man Who Sold The world – or as it was originally MEANT to be…

Even just the way the interview started. Even BEFORE hearing the start of the interview, I knew it would be awesome. But…just the start. The ringing phone, and as soon as the phone is answered Frank saying “give me a one-two” and Jim saying…well, I won’t spoil it. But it had be grinning like a…

Lol But those words on Friday? That’s how they made me feel. I wasn’t going to go into…
Yesterday’s jigsaw puzzle gift was just part one of my belated birthday gifts from Yvonne. The second part arrived this morning. In all this time, I never thought to get ANYTHING printed of this other than the prints I had done for myself and Jim. So, it is really wonderful to have other things showing…
Geez, I loved them then. What a cracking version of Gloria! And to hear A Celebration being done live is fab. That line in Rejoice “I can’t change the world, but I can change the world in me” resonated so much with me.They were so flipping fab then. Honestly. Just watching this 9 minutes of…
I have been patiently waiting for this since Jim first mentioned it in a post back in August. The…as phrased in tweet you can see below (and retweeted by Bruce Findlay who subsequently brought it to my attention)…GALLUS, Francis Xavier Gallagher, has a podcast that starts next week.
