Going back to the subject of music, I don't keep up with the new stuff as much as I should and I have no idea what I should be listening to or what Is considered essential now. However, I've always held that there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure, at least when it comes to songs anyway. I recently enjoyed listening to a track recommended by a kindly neighbour I hold in fond acquaintance- 'Mary on a Cross' by the band Ghost. I was surprised that it didn't originate in the early 1970s. A good lyric has always found savour with me- and you wrote some fine ones I have to say. I was delighted by the following line in this new offering; "If you choose to run away with me, I will tickle you internally and I see nothing wrong with that".
After watching your last video and realising that you still have a passion for music, I'm still feeling too emotional to comment at length or to give the deserved attention to this latest drop. To be honest, I watched about two minutes of this and got the impression it was going to be another one with you eating whelks fried in coriander and walking around pointing at bus stops. Normally my favourites but I thought I'd pause and come back to it another time. I'm sure it will be fantastic when I pay it due credit. There was a suggestion in your previous entry that you are still writing and performing. I'm glad to hear that as I was always a big fan. I'm not talking 'Annie Wilkes' level but I did have a couple of ideas about how to encourage you to write a follow up to Getting Scared. I don't think I ever fully expressed my appreciation but you you know how blokes are with feelings. As the young people say these days, it still slaps.
After 2 years of travelling and only having access to questionable hostel guitars, I've recently bought myself a lovely semi-acoustic. Done a couple of gigs but just playing covers. At some point, I'll be " putting on my writing head". It would have been good to see you at the wild garden gig we did for Tim's 50th.
@@globaltreats I wish I'd been there and would have been if I'd known. I slipped off the radar long before that though and around that era, I became an old and knackered father for the first time. I didn't have much opportunity to go out by myself and a screaming baby might not have been the best audience member! It must have been a while ago as Tim's about 10 years older than me and I'm older now than he was then. My maths isn't good but I'm guessing I've missed the Tim 60th gig if indeed it happened. I'm looking forward to 2033 though, just to watch him wrap his arthritic fingers round that bass and take the opportunity to change his incontinence pad during Jim's drum break in that one I used to say reminded me of the 'Blockbusters' theme. I regret my sarcasm of those days. Of course I loved the music of you 'funny people'.
the vietnamese cobain :) I was actually at the original MTV unplugged with nirvana in 1993, just by accident, and i also had a girlfriend a year later that was a spitting image of curt cobain so after that I always feel nostalgic when i hear them! one thing i am curious about is why there are so few people at all the live venues!!? It si the same here in europe. why is that?
Good vlog Scott 👍

Unbelievable where they hide the coffee shops and bars. Great video

@NicholasBerry-ku9rd it was in 2017. Was bizarre seeing some old faces like faz and big Dave. No Scouse Colin though. I wonder what happened to him?
