May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Off topic… but honestly… what the hell else is there to talk about in the world of SM? Maybe that’s why Jim is so damn quiet? Pffft. Nah. He’s just fucking bored to death with us. Fine, Sir! We can take a hint… if you hint at it by throwing bricks directly at it. Lol…
Jim in this picture = my face waiting for some correspondence from him… The time ticks along. And I wait. And I wait. I just wish I didn’t miss it so much. Or that he didn’t seem so bored with it…me. That’s probably his default face knowing I am wanting him to respond to me….
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…

The line from Iggy Pop’s Five Foot One could not be a more appropriate title because, right now, I DO wish “life could be Swedish magazines”. Well, newspapers might be more accurate. Anyway, that’s semantics. This morning on the Simple Minds Official Group (or should that now just be “Simple Minds Group”?), a Swedish fan…
It was never the reason I started this blog. Not to gain followers. It was never about that. If nobody read it, I would STILL be posting here. If it never had “an audience” it would still be going. It has always been about self-expression and showing my passion and love for this band. It…
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…
