30 Day Song Challenge – Day Eight
Day 8: A song about drugs or alcohol. I could be wrong. I tried to ask Jim…sorta. It sounds like it’s describing an acid trip to me.

Promised You Holga Lines
I do go through artistic repetitive cycles… The one I am currently stuck in is the use of holga and multiple representations of Jim…and geometrics. Bringing out my academic slant in my artistry. I have always loved maths, even if I am bloody shit at it. Lol
Mick Produces Tales
Mick MacNeil’s show last night on Indy Live was the most brilliant one so far. If I had asked to interview him myself, I could not have asked for better. He literally picked up where I had finished off with my interview with Bruce – for Mick talked about the producers of Simple Minds albums,…
Priptona Talks – To Bruce Findlay: Part Two
In part two of my conversation with Bruce, we discuss more on Life In A Day – namely the infamous Drury Lane gig as well as talk on the release of Chelsea Girl and the making of the video. We also discuss Real To Real Cacophony more in depth – from Arista’s dismay of its…

30 Day Song Challenge – Day One
A song you like with a colour in the title. My fave live version of this song. Grrrr, Jim!
The 30 Day Song Challenge

Hedging My Bets, Trev…
It wasn’t until very late last night did I realise that tickets for the Trevor Horn Reimagines The Eighties Tour at the end of July/beginning of August had gone on pre-sale yesterday. And in the overtly hopeful notion that Jim and Charlie (and quite possibly even Mick MacNeil – for the first show, at least)…
Touring Round (With) The Horn?
Trevor Horn has announced a tour in the summer. A short run. Matt Cardle is already confirmed on the tour with OTHER SPECIAL GUESTS to be announced… Jim, Charlie and MAYBE even Mick MacNeil joining in? It’s a short tour. I could see it happening! Only time will tell! Let’s see… Stay tuned, folks! And….just…
I Want To Paint It!
Oh, sometimes things just come about so wonderfully. There’s a jumbled up letters preset on one of my photo editing apps and I love using it with images of Jim because…he’s a magician with words in my eyes. This just looks like a painting ready to be done. Oh, and I ssooo want to do…
