That time Netflix made a TV series which was very similar to one of my films. Pop once ate itself and so have movies. It looked really, really like a low budget feature I'd made 5 years earlier. I'm almost 100% certain nobody from that production saw my film. So how did they end up being similar?...

Just one week to go until my only confirmed London headline show. Bear in mind that you can also buy my entire solo back catalogue and T-shirts there without having to pay postage and packing – and you can help keep a great local venue and promoter going too!

8th October 1977, Wishaw. Four days earlier, Johnny and the Self Abusers changed their name to the Simple Minds and performed their second gig under that name. They were too late to change the name for the single. Photo by Peter McArthur. #simpleminds

Morning listening. Abbey Road by the Beatles. Picked up in a skip pile of Jimmy Shand records. I think this was a brief pressing (possibly export) for Waverly Records when they were part of EMI... #thebeatles #abbeyroad

Part of an aural project coming out later this year. Here's the utterly magnificent Urusei Yatsura, a band very worthy of re-listening to, along with many of their pals. They had a great label too, Modern Independent Records, which is now 30 years old! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pclS...
