May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It was relatively easy to come up with a list of songs for this playlist topic – what will be more awkward is coming up with reasons behind my choices. Because with songs like these, the feeling is more visceral. It’s just about…a vibe. A groove of a song. I’ll do my best to try…
Today I’ve been baking a date loaf. It’s looking really good and I was having a moment of feeling particularly chuffed about it and then wrote this post on the SM FB wall. Then I thought “given recent outcomes to some of my posts, I’ll take a screengrab – it’ll probably get taken down”. Just…
On Spotify, when I was looking for You Go To My Head by Billie Holiday, I saw this… Yes…I’ll always hold a torch for Jim ??

This is the last place I am mentioning it, strangely enough. So, I will just copy the rest of my blurb from posting about it on Facebook… It might be a strange one to give away as it is so personalised… but there’s no point in me keeping this copy. I already have a matt…
Yeah. Because some of us only miss you every second of every day and are made to feel like a sychotic lunatic for asking/enquiring/saying about it endlessly. So…I look in on FB for the first time in nearly a week, and it just compounds everything I have been feeling lately. I honestly do not know…
It seemed a repeat from some time back. One I seemed to miss at the time – or at least missed catching a copy of the interview for posting here. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy.
