May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
That Folllies performance of Factory back in 1980? It was such a great inspiration for a spate of art. I think I just got mesmerised by the way Jim performed in that clip. I’m always in awe of the young Jim. Just…that self-belief he possessed is…intoxicating. Silly, because I find myself both wanting to be…
Do I go through the pretence of responding? Lol. Dream of the old “discs and doughnuts” idea? Well, the doughnuts are back on, that’s for sure. Oh, to sit and listen to these with him and then discuss them over a pistachio and hibiscus signature… Let’s give a thought-out response in due course. And I…

This new “The Bowie Years” box set of Iggy Pop is looking really good. Considering how much I love Iggy, I have diddly squat of his music as a solid format right now. I think I’ll change that soon…
I was in quite a rant mode yesterday morning. But, hey, he’s right. Actually. Quite a bit – not totally. But yeah, no one IS the boss of him. He can do what the fuck he likes. But something would be nice. But, hey ho. Whatevers. The thing that is surprising me most with my…
