May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Some videos, the book I discuss in one of them, as well as the talk of it being Kerrsday and my favourite photo of the most beautiful man on earth! (Yeah…I know. Whatever. I adore him. Fuck it. I don’t care anymore.) Also, on another note, I have just discovered that Bowie’s Ouvrez Le Chien…
One done just for Jim. No Priptona mark. Maybe he’ll hate it (statistically I seem to have about a one in 50 “hit” rate. Lol – or something like that. I’m not really counting). I think I like it. Not so sure now it’s the next morning. Hoe can I expect him to like it?…
Well, this certainly has had the punters talking. And more so than any SMOG post can achieve. A shame the actual band page is all but abandoned now. It used to be so dynamic and wonderful! Even if a post like this makes me feel a little ostracised on a personal level – I’d much…
As it was in Colchester two years ago. Considering six weeks before this photo was taken, I was persona non grata and blocked from the SM FB page – I never imaged a photo like this EVER happening! Or that Jim would ever be that warm with me ever again. Either he’s a fabulous actor…
Ah, if only it was the “Birth of Venus”. Lol. As if I could hold a candle to Botticelli OR Venus. That aside…yesterday was an anniversary. Five years ago I bought the photo editing app for my iPad Mini that…well, not to put too fine a point on it…kind of changed my life. Well it…
Oh, man. It stings again. I don’t ever remember feeling this way before – or at least not for a very long time. A discussion of friends in his latest post and … it just has me wishing again. To be one. DEEMED one. (A friend.) You know…the more you want something. Lol There are…
Well, that’s how the saying goes. You can be the judge… Today’s the 38th anniversary of the release of Glittering Prize, and Big Dan is finally in the frame. For someone who only ever watches the video for Jim’s bits, I’m not sure I ever really missed him, to be fair.
For want of a better title – I went with this. It seemed most appropriate. Running Up That Hill – Kate Bush Teen years. I bought it as a single. I think it just made me wish for different things. For me, it has always been a downbeat song. Melancholic. Something sounds regretful about it….
I wish more than anything I could paint him. I honestly, absolutely get lost in his beauty. To me, esp. when I am working on art and he is at the centre of it all and I am deep into my spell, mouthing the words under my breath in short intervals “he’s beautiful. He’s just…
As I am beginning to work through certain things…getting back to some sort of “balance” – I need to work at the writing. A major part of the problem is not having somewhere comfortable to write but, hey ho! Not a lot I can do about it, really. It would be great to have a…
