Remember To Forget, Forget To Remember
I don’t want to think anymore about certain things. But my subconscious won’t let me rest. Again, I had dreams last night that meant I was dreaming of ‘Simple Minds’ in the broader context and my dream involved a former member of the band discussing with me the current member of the band. I came…
Between Study And Newcastle…
I am a week ahead in my study. A trip to Newcastle is imminent, and so in the lull I am allowing myself time to at least BEGIN to read The Glesga Twins story. I’m a few chapters in – yes, some squares on my ‘Kerr’s repetitive anecdotes’ bingo card have been dabbed. Yet, somehow…
Back to ‘School’ and Chapter 1 of OSATS Available
I know that these days this blog is not exactly a hive of activity, particularly on the Simple Minds front currently as there isn’t much to report when it comes to the band, but also over the past 12-18 months my fandom has waned and I had also been writing my book (yeah, that still…

Prip’s World This Week – w/e 9 November 2024
I felt as if I should have turned the major part of this week’s post into a review but decided against it and turn it into a more generalised post. Gig reviews are now starting to feel a little superfluous – especially as now my gigging days are growing a little more sparse. With that…

Prip’s World This Week – w/e 2 November 2024

Prip’s World This Week – w/e 26 October 2024
Firstly, many months ago I had booked a ticket to see John Grant at Barrowland Ballroom. A couple of weeks back I decided not to go. I haven’t really been able to get into his more recent albums. I find them starting to get a bit ‘samey.’ The same themes running through them and just…

Recovery Day Off Waffle
Just a dud day off and so wanted to waffle to somehow feel ‘productive’ whilst not feeling able to do much else… (it was recorded on my iPad rather than my phone so sorry for the shifting eyes).
No Service Required – New Vlog Post
I am being a lazy, drained procrastinator today and posting a vlog post. Of course, it has run over an hour (just a wee bit over) so…if you have a free 65 minutes, you can see what I’m waffling on about (mainly jury service, my reason for not writing the post instead of vlogging it…
In Pursuit Of Better (Personal and Sort Of ‘Off Topic’)
Last year I decided to rekindle my former personal blog which used to be called ‘Antipodean – The Right Side Up’. That title seemed dated as I wanted the blog to be more about the now and my new life in Scotland and my university studies, so with the revamp I decided on giving it…
